there is virtually no environmental impact should an oil leak
occur. Compare that to one litre of standard oil that can pollute
up to one million litres of water.
As it’s still a relatively new machine, Fraste has gone out
of its way to ensure that operators are fully aware of every
aspect of the MITO 100 TB and how it handles. Its Canadian
dealers provide two weeks of extensive training to customers
compared to the one week of training that is standard with
most of the company’s drilling rigs.
To date, two of the MITO 100 TB units are in use in
Canada, and a third is in the process of being shipped here.
Marchioro says the preliminary feedback on the machine has
been extremely positive and he expects demand to increase
substantially as word of it spreads in the Canadian construction
industry.
PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
Weighing between 39 and 40
tonnes with accessories, it’s a
behemoth compared to similar
drilling rigs that typically tip the
scales between 26 and 30 tonnes.
“I think so. It is so good for the type of work they have to
do normally in Quebec, and I believe the rest of the country.
I think when more people know about the machine
that there will be more demand. I have already seen that
from experience.”
