Model 8040DT

Model 8040DT

From the layout of the engine compartment, to the “behind-the-scenes” electronic diagnostic systems, significant effort was invested in the 8040DT machine to make the unit easy to operate, service, and maintain. It’s the solution for balancing a high quality machine and low cost bore holes.

The 8040DT is powered by a 4-cylinder, 120 hp, liquid-cooled CAT® turbo diesel engine. The heavy-duty undercarriage has a wider track that carries more weight, handles additional tooling, adds more torque, and reduces ground pressure.

8040DT Head/Hammer
The 8040DT incorporates a two-speed hydraulic top head for classic auger/drilling methods in addition to the percussion
capabilities of the GH80 Hammer.
8040DT Control Panel

The adjustable operator control panel is mounted on a swing arm enabling quick and easy movement to the optimum operating position. An integral electronic diagnostic system works to safeguard the unit and help the operator quickly diagnose problems in the field.

8040DT Optional Drop Hammer
An optional automatic drop hammer and hydraulic highspeed coring head can be
installed/removed in under ten minutes.

(below) The Rhode Island Department of Transportation stressed “minimal impact to the pavement” for a soil confirmation project. RI DOT had concerns about the backfill previously used during the reconstruction of Route 1 N near Kingstown. Another contractor had difficulty penetrating the assorted overburden material while trying to collect samples. With the help of two police officers to divert traffic, Glacier Drilling completed nine borings of 315 ft. the first day with the 8040DT.

The 8040DT rear stabilizing blade is
compatible with the optional Geoprobe® Drop-Rack System and can be used to move up to 3000 lb. of tooling, water, and grout. The drop-rack can also be used as a field work station.
