Atlas Copco showcases rig at Illinois conference

Atlas Copco offered a sneak peek of its new PowerROC T35 E surface crawler rig to nearly 500 attendees and guests May 15 at the annual Illinois Aggregate Producers Association Conference. Not yet sold in the United States, the PowerROC T35 E is the extendable boom version of the T35 drilling rig currently in use worldwide.

Additionally, Atlas Copco representatives from the Milwaukee customer center presented materials and fielded questions at the company’s booth about products in the surface drilling and excavation line, which includes Powercrushers and rock-drilling tools. Atlas Copco’s Steve Matic says the Powercrusher line is new to the Milwaukee store.
