The 2018 BAUER BG30 Rotary Drilling Rig is a powerful, 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, advanced hydraulic technology, and robust structural construction to deliver reliable drilling performance across challenging ground conditions.

The BAUER BG30 ValueLine, mounted on the BT80 base carrier, was offered with Caterpillar CAT C9 and CAT C9.3 diesel engine configurations. BAUER's 2016 technical documentation specifies engine outputs of 280 kW and 298 kW, respectively, providing substantial power for intensive foundation drilling operations.

Equipped with BAUER's KDK 300 K or KDK 300 S rotary drive, the BG30 delivers up to 300 kN·m nominal rotary torque, making it suitable for drilling through dense soil, clay, gravel, and suitable weathered rock formations.

With a maximum drilling diameter of 2,500 mm and drilling depth of up to 87 meters in the appropriate Kelly bar configuration, the BG30 is well suited for bridge foundations, high-rise developments, highway construction, railway infrastructure, and industrial piling projects.

The machine features a reinforced drilling mast, heavy-duty hydraulic crawler undercarriage, high-capacity main winch, advanced crowd cylinder system, and BAUER drilling controls. These components support drilling accuracy, operational stability, and productive foundation construction.

The 2018 BAUER BG30 is a strong option for contractors seeking used rotary drilling equipment with high drilling capacity, versatile foundation applications, and established German engineering technology.

The technical specifications below are based primarily on BAUER's March 2016 BG30 ValueLine BT80 brochure, which is closer to the listed manufacturing year than the revised November 2019 brochure.
