How to Choose 15-35 m Lifting Height for a Slope Drill
The correct height comes from the real hole coordinates and setup point, with clearance, stability, access, and transport added to the reach diagram.

Build a reach diagram from the site
- Machine setup elevation and allowable footprint
- Slope toe, face angle, bench and edge distance
- Hole collar elevation, horizontal offset, angle and direction
- Mast, platform, boom and tooling envelope
- Operator, rod handling and service access
- Overhead lines, supports, traffic and exclusion zones
Add stability and wind limits
Higher reach increases the importance of ground bearing, level, cross-slope, carrier setup, wind, dynamic movement, edge distance, emergency lowering, and operating procedure. Ask for exact-model stability and operating limits.
Review transport before choosing the largest model
A larger carrier can increase transport weight, length, width, height, disassembly, crane, permit, access-road, and site-assembly requirements. The shortest machine that covers the verified work envelope can reduce project complexity.
