20.1.2025

KUOPIO, FINLAND, 30th JANUARY 2025

Junttan, a global leader in pile driving equipment manufacturing, announces the launch of the new Evolution series, starting with the DR5 drilling rig. This new series represents the most significant investment in Junttan’s history and introduces completely new technology and design set to redefine the piling industry. The Junttan DR5 drilling rig represents class-leading single-pass drilling performance with technology designed for both FDP (Full Displacement Piling) and CFA (Continuous Flight Auger) applications.

The new Evolution series is the culmination of years of research, development, and innovation, marking a new era for Junttan and its customers worldwide with the further enhanced combination of efficiency, safety, and ease of use. “The Evolution series has been designed with a strong focus on customer needs, ensuring that its advanced technology and innovative features directly address the challenges our clients face,” said Tommi Lehtonen, Group CEO at Junttan. “Working in close co-operation with our customers, I’m truly excited about the new machine we’ve developed together – we believe this series will not only meet but exceed the expectations of our customers, providing them with the tools they need to succeed in even the most challenging environments.”

Key Features of the Evolution Series:

• Design: The Evolution series introduces a completely renewed design with a streamlined profile engineered for durability, while the new components enhance accessibility for maintenance. Optimized kinematics and component layout enable the best possible center of gravity, low ground pressures, and high capacity.
• Modularity: A wide range of options allows the DR5 to be customized to meet diverse customer requirements. Customers can now easily configure the DR5 in various machine setups—standard, long, or extended—tailored to their specific piling needs and desired drilling depth.
• Operator interface and cabin: The Evolution series features a completely redesigned cabin with state-of-the-art ergonomics, advanced controls, and a modern user interface. Operators will benefit from new features such as real-time diagnostics and feedback, including a modern measuring system with real-time view of the pile or drilling tool interacting with soil layers, and offer safety enhancing assistant features such as stability and capacity assistance, ensuring safer and more precise operations.
• Safety: The Evolution series includes top-class safety features, such as a new SIL2 and PLd-compliant control system, 360-degree cameras with active object recognition, and stability monitoring.
• Remote control & transportability: The DR5 can be transported fully assembled, reducing setup time. Additionally, operators can drive and set up the rig using remote control, enhancing safety and convenience.
• Sustainability: The Evolution series DR5 is designed with 20% less steel and 70% fewer electrical wires and hydraulic hoses (compared to previous equivalent Junttan machine), reducing the use of materials and cutting down transport emissions as it can be transported in a single load. The machine’s advanced control system, optimized hydraulics and engine’s start/stop functionality has been engineered to enhance fuel efficiency.

“Our investment in the Evolution series is a testament to Junttan’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the piling industry. The new DR5 represents a drilling rig that is more efficient, simpler to use, and easier to transport,” said Tomi Voutilainen, Director of Engineering and Product Management at Junttan.
