Have you had a need to remove rock… by blasting the rock? Have you had a need to drill holes for anchor bolts? Have you had a need to drill holes for soil nailing? If you have then you probably thought about acquiring a standalone rock drilling machine or rock drill attachment for your excavator. But the high cost of the drill machine was a deal killer. Would your business be interested in fabricating a rock drill attachment for your mini, compact or full size excavator? These rock drill attachments cost around $65,000.00 and up. You can build one for $10,000.00. If you could purchase plans; component drawing blue prints on paper component drawings in CAD software on a DVD detailed fabrication instructions sources and part numbers of components instructions on how to operate the rock drill would you be interested? This is the $60,000.00 question. For your firm to be able to build in your repair shop, a proven design of a rock drill attachment for an excavator, what would you be willing to pay for the plans and engineering behind it?
This sounds like a man with a plan to sell a plan.
Can be done. Could be done. But should it be done? Unless you have long frozen winters with lots of down time and a heated shop, why bother? Do what you do best and get a rock drill from whoever builds the best. Go out and make money with it and let the manufacturer worry about spare parts, reliability, product support and liability issues. :my2c
Really Garrie, He is trying to sell design plans. But it is not affordable for commons.
