The brand new SR-30 Eagle looks back at the rig’s story and enhances itself. Soilmec small-sized drilling rigs made history by inaugurating a new era with the R-312 in 1995, with a winning formula offering a generous Diesel engine combined with a powerful rotary head. SR-30 Eagle inherits the best characteristics of the previous models and embodies performance, technology, and attention to detail. A benchmark rig for the small-diameter drilling works market, perfect to carry out works in residential areas/confined spaces and always ready to be moved to the next job site in a very short time.

The brand-new SR-30 Eagle has been designed for operators. The cabin is compact with perfect visibility that allows having everything under control, it’s complete with amenities such as air conditioning and an adjustable seat. The rig also comes with useful solutions, such as the high-pressure washer kit, the compressor kit, and the tool shelf, aimed at making daily work on site easier.

A change maker
A modern & technological rig thanks to the product suite DMS 4.0 is the most important factor to increase piling reliability through improved operations, control, and automated drilling functions, and proactive maintenance. DMS renovation includes widgets and components on work pages to personalize visualization and improve user experience and many excavation automatisms to optimize operators’ daily work. Among these, automatic return to the center hole, anti-slack rope system, automatic auger lifting, auto-rotary, and auto-drilling functions for CFA configuration.

Two different versions
The rig is available in two different versions to satisfy your specific needs. The Standard Version can be transported complete with a 4×9 kelly bar mounted on with a weight of fewer than 30 tons (66,138 lb). The SR-30 Eagle Upgraded version with a modular mast, the Soilmec segmental one. This solution allows switching to LHR and extended CFA configurations in a simple and cost-efficient way.

Ready for the challenges to come
To better support the mechanical performance, the rig has been equipped with the latest generation StageV/Tier4f Diesel engine equipped with low-idle to improve fuel efficiency and decrease noise pollution. The 4.5-liter four-cylinders Cummins engine can deliver a maximum power of 149 kW (200 HP). Power and efficiency collaborate together for productivity-improving: higher forces become available at the tool to improve the excavation. Indeformability under the hard working conditions and capability to reach any challenging work, this is our Eagle.

The brand-new SR-30 Eagle can face even the most demanding job sites. Despite its small dimension, the strength of the mast has made it possible to install a rotary with a maximum torque of 131 kNm (96619 lb-ft), capable of optimizing torque and rotation speed during excavation thanks to the automatic control of motor displacement. Moreover, the rotary is provided with a new hydraulic block that has been redesigned for more efficient hydraulic performance and pressure losses.

Full visibility
The brand-new SR-30 Eagle has full visibility above and below the ground. The job site area surrounding the rig is kept under control by a large windshield, rear-view mirrors, and camera system, complete with a monitor in the cab. The drilling performances are monitored by the DMS on board that provides the operator the piles’ data in real-time.
