The IHC Fundex 5600 is the newest and largest multifunctional foundation drill rig in Dutch equipment maker’s line. This rig has a leader or mast that is 50 to (optionally) 56 meters in length (164-184 feet!). Amazingly, this huge mast can be erected by the machine itself without assistance from a crane. The rig can be used for drilling continuous flight auger or CFA piles, conventional drilled shafts, and driving precast concrete piles. You can find out more info at the manufacturer’s IHC Fundex F5600 product page. Check out the drone video below of the rig after it rolled out of IHC’s facilities.
