In March 2025, our Mi45 product took center stage at a job site in Tuscany, located in the heart of Italy.
Our technician was on hand to assist for the drill rig commissioning, ensuring the customer understood how to operate it and maximize the machine potential.
The Mi45 Massenza drill rig was deployed for a challenging mineral salt extraction task, where the terrain was both rough and restricted.
This is exactly the decision to mount the Mi45 on the double crawler chassis.
Once the equipment reached the drilling site, the team began their operation, drilling efficiently and effectively, showcasing the power and reliability of the Mi45 even in the most demanding conditions.
This demonstration not only highlighted the Mi45’s capabilities but also reinforced the importance of hands-on training for our clients to ensure seamless integration into their operations.
