Junttan has announced the launch of its new Evolution series, starting with the DR5 drilling rig.
This new series is the most significant investment in Junttan’s history and introduces completely new technology and design for the piling industry.
The Junttan DR5 drilling rig delivers 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 with the 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.”
Evolution series features
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 centre of gravity, low ground pressures and high capacity.
A wide range of options allows the DR5 to be customized to meet diverse customer requirements. Customers can now easily configure the DR5 drill rig in various machine setups, including standard, long or extended, tailored to their specific piling needs and desired drilling depth.

As well, the Evolution series features a completely redesigned cab 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 a 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.
The Evolution series includes advanced safety features, such as a new SIL-compliant control system, 360-degree cameras with active object recognition and stability monitoring.
The DR5 can be transported fully assembled, reducing setup time. Additionally, operators can drive and set up the rig using a remote control, enhancing safety and convenience.
For sustainability, the Evolution series DR5 is designed with 20 per cent less steel and 70 per cent fewer electrical wires and hydraulic hoses, compared to the previous equivalent Junttan machine. This reduces the use of materials and transportation emissions as it can be moved 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,” said Tomi Voutilainen, Director of Engineering and Product Management at Junttan.
“The new DR5 represents a drilling rig that is more efficient, simpler to use, and easier to transport.”
