T4BH
T4BH
T4BH series
The T4BH is designed for multi-pass, high pressure, DTH drilling. The rugged
and reliable T4BH features a 25 ft (7.6 m) tower and can drill a 22'6" (6.8 m)
clean hole in a single pass, while multi-pass drilling can reach to a total
depth of 147'6" (45 m) through a 5 rod carousel.
The Atlas Copco T4BH is synonymous with mobility, power, performance, and productivity. Mounted on a custom carrier, the T4BH
is designed to perform in rough terrain and has been the leading blasthole drill in its class in the quarry and mining industries for over
35 years. The T4BH is a truck mounted, hydraulic tophead drive, specifically designed for DTH high pressure blasthole drilling.
An optional 30 ft (9.1m) tower is also available with the 8 x 4 carrier option.

Operator comfort
All operational functions are controlled from the drillers console within
the cab of the T4BH. The operator has an excellent visibility with an unobstructed view of the drill table. The cab is thermally insulated, soundattenuated, heated, ventilated and is equipped with tinted safety glass,
kick plates, an adjustable swivel seat, and two lockable doors. A six-light
halogen night lighting system is provided as standard for operator visibility under low light operating conditions. External 70-watt halogen
lights illuminate each of the following components: Power pack, tower
and drill table.
The T4BH in-line drive train consists of a diesel engine directly coupled to a compressor on one end and a hydraulic pump drive on the
other. This configuration maximizes mechanical efficiency. The T4BH
is built with a floating engine sub base which aids in isolation of the
engine and mainframe from shock loads, while also maintaining optimal engine alignment. A heavy-duty engine silencer/muffler is also
provided to reduce power pack noise emission. Separate air inlet
cleaners are standard for both engine and air compressor intake. Coolers for the hydraulic oil, compressor oil, and diesel engine coolant are
provided. All coolers are mounted side by side in one package and
each section can be individually removed for easy maintenance. The
T4BH utilizes a custom built, 3-axle carrier designed to Atlas Copco
specifications. The rigid 16 in. H beam frame provides a solid base to
handle tough blasthole drilling conditions.
The carousel drill pipe changer is part of the tower assembly and is located on the outside of the tower frame. The tower is raised and lowered
by two hydraulic cylinders. Tower pinning and pipe changing is performed
remotely from within the operators cab. Breaking pipe joints are done by
a hydraulic positioned sliding fork wrench with limited impact, that minimizes shock loads on the tower, carousel, rotary head and feed components.
Hydraulic cylinders swing the carousel into and out from the loading position
under the rotary head. A hydraulic cylinder and ratchet rotate the carousel to
index the drill pipe under the rotary head for changing. An exclusive keylock
carousel design securely locks in the drill pipe at both the bottom and the top of
the carousel to ensure maximum safety for drill pipe storage and changing. An
auxiliary hoist with a capacity of 2,500 lbf (11.1 kN) is provided as standard for
drill pipe and accessory handling.
