The SIMCO 2400 Drillteam is a powerful drilling rig specifically designed to combine percussive and auger drilling techniques. This unique combination makes it especially effective for detecting water main breaks or gas leaks. Its hydraulic system integrates the strength of percussive drilling, ideal for breaking through hard street surfaces, with the efficient soil removal capabilities of rotary auger drilling. This integrated approach results in a quicker, easier, and more cost-effective drilling process.

Built to withstand challenging conditions, including frozen ground, the SIMCO 2400 reliably penetrates almost any street surface with its percussive hammer. Once the surface is breached, its drillhead can rapidly auger soil, reaching depths greater than 30 feet in mere minutes, though actual performance depends on ground conditions, mud pump size, and the auxiliary compressor. An optional 10-foot stroke feature is available in most drill configurations to enhance operational flexibility.

Key specifications of the SIMCO 2400 Drillteam include:

• Drillhead Torque: 960 ft-lbs

• Drillhead RPM: 0–190 RPM

• Pullback Force: 7,600 lbs

• Push Down Force: 7,600 lbs

• Drillhead Travel (Net Stroke): 74 inches

Powered by a robust three-cylinder Deutz diesel engine, the rig offers an overall stroke length of up to 10 feet. Additionally, it comes equipped with an in/out slide base, left/right wiggletail adjustments, and an optional percussion head with compressor, allowing operators to adapt easily to various project requirements.

The upgraded 2400 model introduces enhanced features and improved capabilities designed to efficiently manage diverse drilling tasks. It maintains its renowned reliability while adding a Long Stroke Mast to accommodate 10-foot tooling and a versatile 2-Speed Drillhead, delivering torque ratings of either 2,000 ft-lbs at 90 RPM or 1,000 ft-lbs at 180 RPM. These enhancements underscore the drill’s exceptional power and adaptability.

With its versatile drilling methods, sturdy build, and impressive specifications, the SIMCO 2400 Drillteam stands out as an ideal solution for utility leak detection and other demanding drilling projects.
