Comacchio MC 14 Specs & Job Types

  • Comacchio MC 14 Micropile & Anchor Rig​

    • Industry‑leading mast articulation for working in tight urban corridors, along retaining walls, and on slopes where larger conventional rigs cannot position safely.​

    • Power and size: Approx. 119 kW (about 160 HP) diesel engine with operating weight around 14–15.5 tons (≈30,900–34,200 lbs), keeping the rig compact and well suited to limited‑access work.​

    • Mast and feed system: Mast feed stroke of roughly 3,450–5,500 mm (≈11.3–18.0 ft) with about 6,000 daN (≈13,500 lbs) feed/retract force for efficient 1.5–2 m tooling and single‑pass drilling.​

    • Drilling heads: Rotary and rotary‑percussive options delivering approximately 850–2,600 daNm (≈6,300–19,200 lb‑ft) of torque to handle micropiles, anchors, and overburden systems.​

    • Clamp capacity: Clamp range of about 45–420 mm (≈1.8–16.5 in), covering typical micropile, tieback, soil nail, and casing diameters.​

    Typical job types​

    • Micropile foundations and underpinning for bridges, buildings, tanks, and industrial structures.​

    • Ground anchors, tiebacks, and soil nails for retaining walls, excavation support, and slope stabilization.​

    • Jet grouting for ground improvement, settlement control, and cut‑off walls.​

    • Ground consolidation and overburden/duplex drilling in mixed or difficult soils.

Comacchio MC 14 Overview

The Comacchio MC 14 is a compact, crawler‑mounted, and fully articulated drill rig designed for micropiles, anchors, soil nails, jet grouting, and other specialty ground engineering work. It combines flexible articulation, reliable torque, and a lighter transport weight, making it ideal for limited‑access sites, urban corridors, or steep slopes where larger rigs cannot safely operate.

Why Rent the MC 14 from NPP

National Piling Products (NPP) focuses on deep‑foundation solutions—offering rental drill rigs, Intric grout plants, materials, load testing, and field consulting dedicated to micropile and anchor applications. Because the fleet centers on compact and articulated rigs, the MC 14 arrives site‑ready, configured by technicians and engineers who understand complex ground conditions, restricted sites, and tight project schedules.

Pair the MC 14 with Intric Grout Plants

NPP supplies Intric Grouting Solutions and supports the D‑series grout plants—like the D9 and D12. Pairing these systems with the MC 14 allows contractors to streamline micropile and jet‑grouting operations, combining drilling and grouting setup, calibration, and pressure control in a single coordinated workflow.

Expert Support and Maintenance

NPP’s in‑house mechanic team specializes in setup, modification, and repair of deep‑foundation equipment, including Comacchio rigs, TEI attachments, and Intric plants. The group keeps each rental machine in peak condition—optimizing hydraulics, rotary heads, and feed systems—so the MC 14 performs efficiently from mobilization through demobilization.
