Drilling machinery

Rigs matched to the ground, the hole and the site.

We work from your hole diameter, target depth, rock conditions and site access to recommend the right rig class, then supply the machine, tooling and spare parts to keep it running.

Rig classes

Eight rig classes, from basements to open pits.

Each example shows a typical configuration. Specifications are typical ranges for the class; we confirm exact figures for the machine you choose.

Tooling & spare parts

Keep the rigs you already run drilling.

DTH hammers and button bits, drill rods and casing, rotary heads, hydraulic components and wear parts, sourced for your rig and ground conditions.

  • DTH hammers and bits from 3" to 8"
  • Drill rods, casing and adapters
  • Rotary heads, hydraulic pumps and motors
  • Wear parts and service kits

Choosing a rig

What we ask before we recommend a rig.

  1. Hole diameterSets the hammer or bit size and the power the rig needs.
  2. Target depthDecides pullback, rod handling and compressor capacity.
  3. Ground conditionsSoil, weathered rock or hard rock decide rotary, DTH or top-hammer drilling.
  4. Site accessHeadroom, slope and transport limits decide the carrier and size.
