Comacchio MC-E 15 Excavator Mount Drilling Attachment

Comacchio MC‑E15 is a compact excavator‑mounted drilling attachment that transforms a 15‑ton excavator into a limited‑access rig for micropiles, anchors, and soil nails on tight or sloped sites. It delivers strong rotary torque and flexible mast positioning to drill where full‑size crawler rigs cannot go.

MC‑E 15 Key Specs and Ideal Jobs

Comacchio MC‑E15 Specs

  • Rotary head: Torque range 88–500 daNm (649–3,688 lb‑ft) with 64–560 rpm speed range for rotary and rotary‑percussive drilling.
  • Excavator class: Mounts on a 15‑ton excavator, using the carrier’s hydraulics to power the mast and rotary head.
  • Feed/retract force: 2,500 daN feed and 2,500 daN retract (about 5,620 lbs each) for efficient drilling in overburden, fill, and weathered rock.
  • Clamp range: 45–170 mm (1.8–6.7 in) to cover typical casing and rod sizes for light micropiles, anchors, and soil nails.

Typical job types for the MC‑E15

  • Micropile foundations and underpinning in very restricted access locations such as basements, backyards, and urban infill sites.
  • Ground anchors and tiebacks for small retaining walls and shoring, where larger rigs cannot set up.
  • Soil nails on tight or sloped sites, including residential slopes and small road cuts.
  • Ground improvement and consolidation around light structures, utilities, and confined infrastructure corridors.

MC‑E15 overview

The Comacchio MC‑E15 is a compact, hard‑hitting drilling attachment that mounts on a 15‑ton excavator to handle micropiles, anchors, soil nails, and other deep foundation work in tight or sloped access. It uses the excavator boom and MC‑E mast articulation to reach difficult positions along road edges, slopes, docks, and congested urban sites where a conventional rig cannot set up.
