It is capable of tramming through a standard 36-inch doorway and under 8-foot ceilings with travel position of 39½ inches wide and 33½ inches with tracks retracted. It comes with a three section mast designed for 11-inch, 7-inch, and 3-inch head stroke. It even offers a probe hammer, which is impressive for such a compact unit. This unit truly pushes the envelope with limited access. In addition to drill rigs, Acker manufac- tures a wide range of specialty samplers suited for a wide array of applications. Popular specialty samplers manufactured by Acker include the Pitcher, Gus, Denison, Stationary Piston, Laskey, and Osterberg-like samplers. From the drill to the bottom of the hole, Acker has you covered. Introducing a New Generation of Old-Fashioned Quality Adapted from Information by Acker Drill Company The folks at Acker know their roots. For several decades, their objective has been to provide contractors with reli- able, high-performance equipment that will last a lifetime. This will never change. It is not uncommon for the company to receive calls from satisfied customers all over the world who praise the quality and reliability of Acker’s products. Some have had an Acker drill unit in service for over 40 years - a great testament to the company’s continued growth and suc- cess. Over the past decade, the company’s engineers and staff have worked to de- sign and manufacture a new generation of drill units. As a result, Acker introduced modern hydraulic units such as the SOIL- XLS and SOIL-SCOUT to appeal to today’s drilling professional. The SOIL- SCOUT, one of the most compact rotary drill on tracks, offers unprecedented ver- satility and power for a unit considered “limited access.” The SOIL-XLS, another popular choice, was designed to give the contractor a versatile, reliable unit de- signed to handle the requirements of virtually any job. Inspired by the success of these units, the company decided it was time to up the ante. The first result of their efforts was the Acker RENEGADE. A big brother to the SOIL-XLS, the RENEGADE has quickly become a favorite to con- tractors all over the world. As a premiere, multipurpose drill unit, it is suited for vir- tually any job under any condition. With 8000 ft lbs of torque and up to 1000 rpms, you are getting the best of both worlds in terms of “high torque” for auger drilling and “high rpm” for coring work. This undoubtedly offers the contractor power and versatility. You can expect it to excel in coring, augering, probing, stan- dard penetration testing, and reverse cir- culation applications. The Acker R.A.D. (restricted access drill) is an all-hydraulic drill unit specifically designed for fast and economical soil investigation, groundwater monitoring, and core drilling with multiple mast sec- tions for easy access in the most re- 4< /*2'3* "& > > > > ,'< ? /2+ '6* /3+6 /3+6 ')1/3- " " !8=2+ /7843 4* 4* ')1/3- !+8 5)7 !8'3*'6* $'2:+ 9((+6 6':+2 $'2:+ 9((+6 !+'87 9((+6 $'2:+ 37+687 #6+8.'3+ $'2:+ 37+687 $'2:+ !56/3- ! ! $'2:+ 4:+6 '71+8 ? !;/:+2 ')1/3- ? !+6/+7 ? !+6/+7 ? !+6/+7 ? !+6/+7 ? !+6/+7 ? !+6/+7 < /3+6 < /3+6 < /3+6 < /3+6 < /3+6 6/)+7 !9(0+)8 "4 .'3-+ %/8.498 48/)+ !@ @ < < < < <
