In case you didn’t see our first blog post, we wanted to remind you to come visit us in Timmins, Ontario today May 16th and tomorrow May 17th. Get a sneak peak below at the new Terramac RT9 carrier unit… It’s at the Northern Mines Expo – “Canada’s Largest Gold Show”!

We are debuting our new crawler carrier product, the Terramac RT9: “Innovation on Tracks!”  If your business uses Crawler Carriers, you don’t want to miss this!  If your business hasn’t used a crawler carrier yet, Terramac might change your view.  Our crawler carrier was created to be able to adapt to a variety of uses and industries.

Not going to the Northern Mines Expo? Don’t worry, we’d still love to introduce you to the RT9!  Just click here and be one of the first to know about what’s new at Terramac!

1. The RD20 is made by Atlas Copco

If there’s one manufacturer you should trust it is Atlas Copco. Drilling since 1972, Atlas Copco’s mission statement is to increase profitability for its independent drillers who rely on increasing productivity in order to reduce costs. You can trust that Atlas Copco’s self-contained, powerful and mobile drill rigs will serve your company’s needs for years to come.

2. The RD20’s Powerful Feed Syetem

Atlas Copco’s patented carriage feed system is the heart of the RD20 with a full 110,000 lb. (49,896 kg) of pullback to the RD20II and 120,000 lb. (54,446 kg) to the RD20III.

With rapid feed speeds and precise weight control, you’ll benefit from the RD20’s advanced mechanics, which are designed to deliver optimum efficiency. The derrick eliminates compressive loads on the upper derrick, even at full pullback.

3. Quick Pipe Handling

Want proof of how Atlas Copco’s RD20 increases efficiency? Look no further than the fact that it only take 45 to 60 seconds to completely change or add drill pipe – a time significantly faster than that of a conventional drill rig.

4. Pure Power

The RD20 is powered by a Cummins QSK-19C, 755-hp deck engine. Here at Rig Source, we believe that Cummins engines are the most powerful and reliable engines available.

The engine, compressor and hydraulic pumps of the RD20 are mounted on a floating powerpack base rather than directly onto the chassis mainframe. According to AtlasCopco.com, “this arrangement assures proper alignment of power components and decreases wear.”

5. Versatility

A variety of options come with the RD20 including three-inch/1500psi circulation piping. The RD20 also comes equipped with connections for an auxiliary compressor and booster. Optional water-injection systems, as well as oil injection for DHD operation are available.

Rig Source has a used Atlas Copco RD20 oil & gas drill for sale!

Major Drilling’s Huntsville, Alabama office engaged Rig Source to do a dismount of their Mobile B-53 drill and remount the drill onto a Morooka MST-800 crawler carrier.

The Rig Source team also installed a rod clamp, break out wrench, dust collector and sample splitter as well.

It’s hard to believe, but on April 15^th, 2012 Rig Source will celebrate its 8th year in business! Rig Source owners, Mike and Lisa Crimaldi, have worked together in the drilling industry since they were teenagers.  The Crimaldi’s began their careers at Rock & Soil Drilling where they worked for twenty years.  In 1998, they started Mid-America Drilling where they offered geotechnical and environmental drilling services.

After 6 years as contractors, the concept of selling and renting new and used drilling equipment evolved and Rig Source was born.

Today, we are celebrating 8 years in business by introducing our first product: the Terramac RT9! Terramac rubber track crawler carriers are made in North America and were created for customization of uses across a variety of industries (including general construction, drilling, oil & gas, pipeline, and more).

We are looking forward to continuing to serve all of our existing Rig Source customers in addition to meeting our first Terramac customers. We can only imagine how exciting the NEXT 8 years will be!

Thanks for all of your support over the years!
