VK-PWDDTH Wagon Drill FAQs
Can the Vikay wagon drill be converted between top hammer and down the hole?
Yes. The same three wheel rubber tyred carrier takes either configuration and a conversion kit changes it from one to the other and back. This page is the down the hole configuration. The top hammer version carries the VK 12 drifter for 48 to 76 mm holes; the down the hole version carries the BBR-4 rotation motor for 85 to 130 mm holes.

Will my compressor run the VK-PWDDTH?
The VK-PWDDTH needs 450 cfm at 10.5 bar, delivered continuously. The compressor has to hold the figure under load, not merely reach it.
What hole size and depth does the down the hole wagon drill achieve?
85 to 130 mm holes to depths of up to 40 metres, using 3 inch and 4 inch pneumatic DTH hammers driven by the BBR-4 piston type rotation motor. It runs on 450 cfm at 10.5 bar.
