Two Core Drill Models
Atlas Copco Construction Equipment Denver

Improved operator comfort and safe handling for higher performance are the key improvements to Atlas' new core drill models, LCD 500 and LCD 1500. The core drills will, like the previous models, fit into standard drill stands and operate on the same hydraulic flow and pressure as the previous models. Improved operator comfort includes a hand-shaped handle grip. Hydraulic inlets and hoses are connected through the handle to support and reduce the torque transferred directly to operator. The extended handle enables the user to better control the core drill when using large diameter bits or performing deep-hole driling.
