1. Transporting a Rock Drilling Machine on the Road
Rock drilling machines (like jumbos or crawler drills) are usually not driven directly on public roads due to their size, weight, and tracks. Instead:
They are loaded onto a flatbed truck or low-bed trailer for transport.
Before transport, ensure:
Boom and drilling arms are folded and secured.
Hydraulic systems are locked and powered down.
Any fuel, oil, or water is properly sealed.
The unit is cleaned to avoid dirt dropping on roads.
✅ Example phrase:
"The rock drilling machine is now secured and ready for road transport by trailer."
✅ 2. Self-Propelled Rock Drilling Machine on Site Roads
If the machine is self-propelled and moving on internal access roads at a construction or mining site:
Make sure:
All safety lights and alarms are functional.
The path is clear and permitted for its weight/size.
Operator has proper visibility and PPE.
Speed is limited to safe values (usually under 10 km/h).
✅ Example phrase:
"The self-propelled rock drilling rig is ready to drive on the construction access road."
