The 2018 BAUER BG30 Rotary Drilling Rig is a heavy-duty foundation drilling machine designed for deep piling operations, large-diameter bored pile construction, and demanding infrastructure development. Manufactured by BAUER Maschinen GmbH, the BG30 combines German engineering, powerful hydraulic technology, and robust structural construction to deliver reliable performance across challenging ground conditions.

Powered by a Caterpillar CAT C9.3 diesel engine, the BG30 2018 reference configuration delivers approximately 298 kW (400 HP) of engine power. This provides substantial power for demanding drilling operations and supports the machine's hydraulic systems.

The rig features BAUER's KDK 300 rotary drive, offering up to 300 kN·m nominal rotary torque. This high-torque drilling system is designed to handle demanding soil conditions and support large-diameter foundation piling.

With a maximum drilling diameter of 2,500 mm and a published maximum drilling depth of up to 87 meters, depending on the Kelly bar and equipment configuration, the BG30 is suitable for bridge foundations, high-rise developments, highway construction, railway infrastructure, and industrial projects.

Mounted on the BAUER BT80 base carrier, the BG30 incorporates a reinforced drilling mast, hydraulic crowd cylinder, high-capacity main winch, auxiliary winch, and heavy-duty crawler undercarriage. These systems support controlled drilling movements, efficient tool handling, and operational stability.

The BAUER BG30 2018 is a suitable used-equipment option for contractors seeking a powerful rotary drilling rig for demanding foundation and piling operations.
