Abstract: A drill rig includes a frame and a pair of cylinder rods provided laterally spaced relative to each other. The pair of cylinder rods is configured to extend and retract relative to the frame along an axial direction. The drill rig includes a carriage unit mounted to the frame. The carriage unit includes a pair of slide blocks laterally spaced relative to each other. Each of the pair of slide blocks includes an axial channel therein. The carriage unit includes a support member provided slidably within each of the axial channels. The carriage unit includes a center member coupled to and provided between the support members. The center member is configured to reinforce the support member. The carriage unit includes a slide rail longitudinally spaced relative to the support member. The drill rig includes a drilling unit slidably mounted on the slide rail.

Abstract: A cooling system for an aftertreatment module mounted within an enclosure is provided. The cooling system includes a source of forced air in fluid communication with the enclosure. At least one duct is provided in conjunction with the source of forced air. The at least one duct is configured to direct at least a portion of the forced air from the source of forced air towards a first component of the aftertreatment module. A remaining portion of the forced air that was not directed towards to the first component is directed towards a second component of the aftertreatment module.
