Epiroc has launched a new and improved PowerROC T45. The new generation surface drill rig offers increased fuel efficiency and high availability. It is a welcome addition to the PowerROC family. 

“We are eager to get this rig out to our customers around the world. The PowerROC T45 MKII is the perfect choice for construction sites and aggregate, cement and limestone quarries,” said Sr. Product Manager Masanori Kogushi.

The new generation PowerROC T45 MKII is equipped with an Epiroc developed control system, which helps decrease fuel consumption. This is due to the auto engine speed control, which enables automatic optimization of the engine RPM for all operations.

“The new generation PowerROC T45 offers up to 40 percent lower fuel burn compared to the previous generation,” said Kogushi.

To assist with easy operation, the PowerROC T45 MKII includes an intuitive 12 -inch display that presents all the necessary data, monitors running status and offers the operator additional assistance. Two one-touch lever controls make rod changing and drilling both simple and quick. The system is easy to learn and use.

The PowerROC T45 MKII has many similarities to the PowerROC T35 MKII, which was released last year. Like the other rigs in the PowerROC family, the PowerROC T45 MKII features a modular and straightforward design, which keeps servicing simple.

“Compared to the PowerROC T35 MKII, the PowerROC T45 MKII surface drill rig offers a big hole range, which is something many of our customers want. This PowerROC T45 MKII launch is there-fore a natural step forward in our offering within the PowerROC family,” said Kogushi.

The PowerROC T45 MKII has been field-tested with positive results during the last couple of months.

“We have fine-tuned the rig for maximum performance and have achieved all our major targets,” said Kogushi.

The new generation PowerROC T45 comes with two different engine alternatives — Tier 3/Stage IIIA and Tier 4 Final/Stage 5.

The PowerROC T45 MKII will be available for order from December 3, 2025.
