The Montabert CPA 225E drilling attachment enables operators to transition from digging to drilling. It can be used on excavators ranging in size from 15 to 25 tons.

The attachment can be used for blasting holes, slide stabilization, tunneling, anchor bolting, and other long-reach applications. Its drill holes measure 1.5 to 3 inches in diameter and up to 14 feet deep. The addition of a 12-foot rod adder enables the CPA 225ER to reach a drill depth of 26 feet.

The Intelsense system on the attachment is a radio-controlled feature that analyzes drilling conditions and adjusts factors such as feed pressure, feed speed, anti-jamming controls, and percussion pressure.

The radio remote control capabilities of the CPA 225E allow the drilling attachment to be operated from outside the excavator’s cab.

Standard features on the single-pass CPA 225E drilling attachment include an aluminum feed providing 47 degrees of drill rotation and a high performance Montabert HC50 drifter. The HC50 is equipped with a hydraulic dampener and an energy recovery system. A hydraulic dust collector is also standard on the CPA 225E, offering high suction capacity or the use of a water injection system.
