Key Specs
The Cat® MD6200 has the smallest shipping envelope of any drill in its class. It can be transported over the road with the mast on, so it can simply roll onto a truck when it’s time to move to another site. Additionally, its compact working envelope allows it to get it into position faster, reducing the time spent accessing drill patterns and moving between holes. Its oversized Cat 336 excavator-style undercarriage provides best-in-class tractive effort and drawbar pull and stands up to the toughest conditions on your site. Designed to drill holes from 127-200 mm (5.0-7.87 in) in diameter, the MD6200 is is optimized for single-pass or multi-pass drilling in both rotary and down-the-hole drilling modes.
Thanks to a compact working envelope, right-sized undercarriage and low center of gravity
Delivered by high-output, rotary top-drive engine and controls that modulate powertrain
With automation technology and fully-integrated Cat electronics architecture

Through regular monitoring of machine conditions, mines can adopt a more proactive approach to maintenance and repair. Equipment health data is a key contributor to that approach. Data helps mines identify equipment problems long before failure.
Accessing the right data at the right time is critical to improving operational intelligence and machine predictive analysis. Cat® MineStar™ Health helps you meet that need by connecting you to your machines and delivering that important information. The MineStar Health portfolio set consists of Connectivity Enablers that collect, convert and transmit equipment data; and Applications that visualize, analyze and report health equipment data.

Effective mining starts with accurate drilling. That means drilling every hole precisely to plan, at the proper angle and the correct depth. Cat® MineStar™ Terrain for drilling provides precision guidance that helps operators complete patterns accurately and productively. It pays other dividends, as well, by improving safety, reducing costs and recording data about drilled stratification to aid in planning blasts and improving fragmentation. And it works with all brands of drills and communicates seamlessly with MineStar and other mine management systems.
