New small rock drill designed for tough site conditions

Designed for maximum reliability in variable worksite conditions, it continues the Doofor tradition of engineering precision tools for demanding applications.

Compact size, lower power requirement

The development of DFR2 was driven by a clear goal: to reduce power requirements without significantly compromising drilling performance. This enables its use in a broader range of applications, particularly in scenarios where energy availability is limited or where equipment size and weight are critical factors.

The DFR2 rock drill is especially well-suited for jobsites with limited space or challenging environmental conditions — such as utility installations and urban infrastructure projects. Thanks to its compact design, DFR2 integrates easily into drilling systems without adding unnecessary weight or bulk. The DFR2 has a 7/8″ (22mm) hexagonal female chuck and an OMM-type rotation motor.

Compact, high pressure rock drill reinforced for extreme durability

One of the key innovations in the DFR2 is its re-engineered gear structure, developed to enhance durability in harsh environments. The materials and technical solutions chosen for this model are specifically aimed at extending the lifespan of core components, even under high-stress, high-usage conditions.

By increasing the robustness of the gearbox and optimizing the internal mechanics, Doofor has achieved a balance between reliability and performance that supports long service intervals and lower maintenance needs.

Tested in-house to ensure performance

As with all Doofor equipment, the DFR2 has gone through an extensive simulation and prototyping phase. Before field testing, the small rock drill was fine-tuned using advanced simulations, allowing the team to refine the mechanics and eliminate potential failure points.

Real-world performance has been being verified at Doofor’s own dedicated test sites, to ensure the drill performs as expected in a controlled but realistic environment.

Practical benefits for end users

A compact 8kW size class hydraulic rock drill delivers several clear benefits for OEM’s, contractors and operators:

Robust gear for heavy duty use
Lower oil flow requirement with higher percussion pressure levels widen usability in various platforms and improve overall energy efficiency
Fast drilling speeds with improved percussion mechanism and piston shape
Improved sealing and long seal lifespan thanks to innovative design and material choices

Doofor DFR2 hydraulic rock drill provides a durable and efficient solution for professionals working in civil engineering and infrastructure projects — without the trade-offs typically associated with smaller drills.
