"Down-the-hole" Hammer - Ultimate versatility in one compact unit.


The Kanga 8 Series Loader with Rammer Extendable Rock Drill Mast, or “Drillmast” will knock out other machines when it comes to transportability!


  • 1.05m wide and 2.72m long.

  • Weight less than 1500kg.

  • Drill a 50 – 70mm diameter.

  • “Down hole hammer” drills down to 50m or more (requires auxiliary air supply approx 5m3 (200CFM) at 10 bar (150PSI).

The Kanga 8 Series with Drillmast is a flexible and easy to transport unit compared to high capital cost, heavy, one- use-only machinery.

The Rammer Drill Mast has been developed for those who need a compact, maneuverable Drill Rig and Kanga have developed this attachment to be used in many ways.

It can be fitted with conventional augers for normal drilling in soil and if the going gets hard can be changed out to run a “Down the Hole Hammer”. When fitted with continuous flighted augers it can be used for soil sampling or drilling bores. The mast has 1.8m of telescopic travel and can be adjusted hydraulically to drill vertical or on an angle.


There are a number of satisfied Kanga owners using this attachment with a 55mm diameter Down the Hole Hammer and digging to a depth of 20m through solid rock. One particular Kanga owner is using a 90mm diameter Down the Hole Hammer to a depth of 50m with great success.
