Our AB 6900 drilling rig sets new standards in drilling technology. Equipped with a double-head drill drive for a maximum torque of 12,200 Nm and a drilling diameter of up to 219 mm, it is ideal for demanding drilling projects such as cased drilling and down-the-hole hammer drilling.

🔧 Main features of the AB 6900:

• double-head drive DH 12
• Transverse displacement of the entire rotary drive – ideal for inserting and replacing drill pipes
• Radio remote control operation – each drilling function is proportionally controlled and infinitely adjustable
• Double clamping with clamping-breaking device – for maximum safety and precision
• Anti-seize drilling automatic – automatic extraction of the drill rod when the rotation resistance is exceeded
• Angle measurement with display on the radio display (X/Y axis)
• PLC drilling automation including depth measurement

This machine offers everything you need for precise and efficient work. Also available with Wimmer Cockpit and cable winch!

Many thanks to our team for the continuous development of this powerful technology.

This summer was all about customer service at Wimmer International. Our dedicated fitters refurbished the Luna 2.100 line boring machine in Belgium from the ground up - including the extraction system & compressor!

Among other things, we have:

Replaced 2 carriage profiles
Carried out a complete service
Repaired the entire electrical system
and much more...

With 80 hours of intensive work in just 2 weeks - including travel time - we have brought the facility back into shape. A big thank you to our team for their tireless efforts! 👏🔧

🚜 Our Wimmer backhoe bucket XHD - the perfect partner for the toughest applications! 💪

Our backhoe buckets stand for robustness and durability. Manufactured entirely from special wear-resistant steels such as HARDOX450, they can withstand even the most extreme conditions. We adapt our backhoe buckets individually to the requirements of our customers, taking into account factors such as ideal penetration behavior and ideally adapted bucket kinematics.

Whether for rock work or special requirements - with variants such as the Esco Ultralock tooth system and optional wear protection, our XHD backhoe bucket adapts to your needs.

Ready to get the best out of your excavator?

Things are currently really getting down to business on our site! Our in-house [is from BEMO] tunnel excavator, the Blue Badger, is being put through its paces by Andreas with the WFR150 milling attachment. At the same time, Alex takes a close look at the FU 1000 pulverizer.

🔧 Features of the WFR 150 mounted milling machine:

• Double bearing of the cutting heads, large dimensioned hydraulic motor
• Order-related adjustment of the milling machine, cutting heads available in various cutting widths and designs
• Large selection of chisels/cutting tools

🔧 Features of the FU 1000 pulverizer:

• Hydraulically 360° endlessly rotatable
• Special rapid traverse valve for faster movement sequences

We are proud to continuously develop and test our devices in order to offer our customers the best solutions.
Thanks to our team for their tireless efforts!

In June, our customer Mühlviertler in Lasberg received a new XHD backhoe bucket 1700 FG5.5/6.0 for the Volvo EC530 from us. This robust bucket is perfectly equipped for tough use in quarries. With a trapezoidal blade, additional wear protection thanks to Esco Chockbloks, 10 weld-on corner protection plates, the powerful Esco UltraLock U60C teeth (Esco/Weir Group link) and an integrated ball guide, it masters every challenge. 💪🏻

We also successfully repaired an XHD 1700 FG5.5 backhoe bucket for the Volvo EC480. The trapezoidal blade, the Esco U60 tooth holders, parts of the side cutting edges, side guards and the ball guide were replaced. 🔧

Our commitment to quality and reliability ensures that our customers are always optimally equipped. Many thanks to our customer Mühlviertler for their trust! 🤗

Another successful product handover!

The special drilling system enables 360° rotation, 95° forward/backward and 2 x 30° lateral swivel -> ideal for precise vertical and horizontal row drilling.

It is also equipped with an automatic empty stroke, cavity protection and anti-jamming device as well as an automatic spot drilling system for gentle spot drilling. The best thing? Thanks to its own power supply, no electrical connections are required.

Thank you Josef for your trust and the good cooperation!

On January 31, 40 years ago, Alois Wimmer laid the foundation stone for the success story of the Wimmer Group.

He started at the Thalgau site in 1984 with three employees - initially mainly with bucket and undercarriage repairs. However, with the invention of the A-Lock hydraulic quick-change system, the company quickly developed into an overall concept for hydraulic excavators.

Today, the 2nd generation family business with Managing Director Andreas Wimmer has grown to around 90 employees (75 in Thalgau and 15 in Budweis). Attachments and drilling rigs are now developed and produced for every requirement. In recent years, Wimmer has also made a name for itself as a specialist in tunnel construction. The BlueBadgers tunnel excavator series and the latest new development, the yellow FOX, are successfully in use throughout Europe.

Thank you to the entire Wimmer team and our customers and partners! We look forward to the next exciting years with new challenges and projects!

When things are a little quieter in January, we like to use this time for training: In the 2nd week of January, our customer service coordinator Michael Schönleitner was in the Jura region with our long-standing customer Franken Schotter GmbH & Co. KG. The team in Petersbuch received two days of detailed training on service and maintenance work on the Jura Luna series drilling rigs.
