The Comacchio MC-E15 is a compact, hard‑hitting drilling attachment that turns your 15‑ton excavator into a serious deep foundation limited access micro pile drilling rig, without the headache of moving a full crawler drill. When you rent it from National Piling Products, you get the machine, the know‑how, and the support crew you wish came standard on every job.
What Is The MC-E15?
The Comacchio MC‑E15 is a drilling attachment designed to mount on a 15‑ton excavator and handle micropiles, anchors, soil nails, and other deep foundation drilling in tight or awkward spots. Instead of hauling in another rig, you use the excavator already on site and let the MC‑E15 do the dirty work.
Mounts on standard 15‑ton excavators, so mobilization is simple.
Built for foundation and ground improvement work where access, slope, or headroom make life “interesting.”
Lets you keep one machine doing double duty: digging in the morning, drilling in the afternoon.
Key Specs In Plain English
On paper, the MC‑E15 looks like numbers and units; on site, it looks like production. Here are the highlights your superintendent actually cares about.
Excavator class: 15‑ton carrier.
Weight: about 1,500–1,600 kg (3,300–3,500 lb), light enough to stay nimble on most sites.
Mast feed stroke: 3,540–4,600 mm (about 11.6–15.1 ft), giving solid reach for typical micropiles and anchors.
Feed / retract force: roughly 2,500 daN (about 5,620 lb), enough push and pull to keep tools moving in tough ground.
Rotary torque: 88–500 daNm (about 649–3,688 lb‑ft), with speed range around 64–560 rpm for both power and speed.
Clamp range: approx. 45–170 mm (1.8–6.7 in), covering common casing and tooling sizes used in deep foundations.
In short, it is compact, but not cute; it is sized to actually drill, not just pose for the photos.
Why Rent The MC-E15?
Renting the MC‑E15 from National Piling Products lets you act like a big drilling contractor without buying a big fleet. It is a smart way to test the work, grow capabilities, or tackle one‑off problem jobs.
Lower risk: No long‑term capital tied up in a niche rig; rent it when the job needs it, send it home when it doesn’t.
Faster mobilization: Mount to your 15‑ton excavator instead of moving in another specialized machine on permits and lowboys.
Limited access hero: Perfect for slopes, embankments, tight urban lots, or spots where a conventional rig is either too big or too awkward.
Flexibility: When the next project needs different tooling or a different rig, you are not stuck owning the wrong iron.
And yes, it also keeps the inevitable “We need another rig out here yesterday” phone call a lot less painful.
Jobs The MC-E15 Is Built For
Any time you hear words like “limited access,” “slope,” or “we can’t get the big rig in there,” the MC‑E15 should be on the shortlist. It is engineered for deep foundation and ground improvement work where a full‑size drill would be overkill or impossible.
Typical uses include:
Micropiles for foundations, shoring, and retrofits where you need capacity in tight or existing structures.
Tiebacks and ground anchors for retaining walls, abutments, and excavation support.
Soil nails on slopes and cut faces where the excavator can reach but a rig cannot safely sit.
Limited‑access drilling in basements, backyards, or crowded industrial sites using the excavator’s reach.
If your project manager is sketching crazy reach angles on a lunch napkin, the MC‑E15 is probably what they are hoping for.
