Christensen characteristics
 Power full: drills deep and with high productivity
 Rotation speed: low to high rpm – ideal for core drilling
 Torque: High – provides sufficient power to complete deep holes
 Long mast – to pull 6 or 9 meter rods
 The new Christensen rigs offers making and breaking of drill rods with the
rig (rotation, rod holder and thread compensation)
 Complete units (rig/feed, control panel, main hoist and power pack)
 Durable drill rigs
Christensen CS P4 in brief
 Drilling capacity 610 m N-size
 40 kN hoist lifting capacity
 90 kN pull with the Feed system
 1,83 m feed stroke
 4 cyl Cummins engine, 97 kW
 P-size drill head (117 mm)
Simple basic design, light weight (“flyable”)

hydraulic control
 80 kN main hoist, 138 kN feed pull
CT 14 in operation
Key features CS10, CS14 and CT14
 Control panel
 Capable of 50 deg C ambient
 Hydraulic jacks
 Thread compensation (make and break
with the rotation)
 Mast dump (not CS10)
 Large crown block
 Foldable mast (only CS14)
 Feed cylinder
 Strong and power full
 Trido on the rig
 Rod holder
 Equipped according to the safety
regulation within the European Union,
for CE-marking
 Proven and power full rotation unit with
wide speed range
 Handles rods from B to P size and
casing up to HW
Christensen CT20 in brief
 Drilling Capacity 2450 m N-size
 Main hoist 178 kN
 Hydraulic feed cylinder; 200 kN
 Cummins QSL.9 Tier III
224 kW (305 hp)
 3,5 m feed stroke
 P size drill head (120mm ID)
 CT20 to be truck mounted
(crawler will be an option)
Productive, safe and service friendly
CT20 in operation
Ergonomics / Environment
 Drillers working position – control panel and
drillers platform improved
 Noise reduction canopy (CT20)
 Service points easy accessible – component
layout with concern to service
 The choice of environment friendlier Tier III / IIIB*
diesel engines
 Oil spill plate under power pack (CT20)
* Only for EU and USA
Operator friendly control panel CS10 and
CS14/CT14
 Logical layout with clear symbols and
readings (dual scale)
 Possible to operate by feel when
looking at the drilling operation (block
layout)
 This is the drillers daily work place why
it has to be designed for easy drill
operation
 Direct control
 CT14 has an hydraulically movable
control panel
Control panel on CT20
 Big and powerful rig – yet small
control panel
 Displays the penetration rate
 Few levers – yet full control
 Automated functions
 Hydraulically movable
control panel
Safety
 Drill operators are protected from the
rotation unit by a safety cage
 All winches have protective sides
 Separate circuits for drilling and positioning
with e-stops
 Thread compensation, make and break
with the rotation unit
 Hydraulic jacks is standard (not on CS P4)
Proven rotation unit (BO-PO)
 Basically the same rotation on all
Christensen rigs (the head on
CS4002 is stronger)
– Well proven
– Very durable
– Strong and powerful
 Provides high productivity drilling
 Handles BO-PO rods and
BW-HW casing
 Same chuck is used on all
Christensen rigs
