The Long Reach series is a unique CZM design that brings the high performance of CZM's EK line to a boom-mounted set-up with increased reach and the company states that the LR95 is the longest-reach drill rig of its class on the market.

The LR95 is mounted on a Caterpillar 330 Next-gen base. This machine has 273hp and delivers over 105,00ft.lbs of torque. It also features a maximum drilling diameter of 11ft, standard drilling depth of 53ft, main winch pull line of 27,120lbs with two gears for high speed and pulling force, and operation weight of 97,000lbs.

The rotary offers three operation and spinoff speeds as well as automatic gear shifting. The model shown has a maximum reach of 12ft 7in and is ideal for drilling utility work, transmission and distribution, substation work, and limited access jobs.

The Long Reach machines are equipped with a specially designed boom with two lift cylinders allowing for a higher torque and crowd force to be applied to the tool. Interlocking Kelly bars make it efficient to drill in rock and hard soil. Round Friction bars are also available for high production in softer soils.

This model can be transported in one load, with the Kelly bar on and can be set up easily without the need for support equipment.
