    Surface Drill Rigs for Different Exploration Projects

     

    We provide a complete range of drilling solutions for exploration, mineral sampling, and geotechnical investigation, covering multiple working conditions and depth requirements. Our equipment is divided into three main product categories to meet different project needs:

    Portable core drilling rig

    Designed for lightweight transport and flexible operation in remote or hard-to-access sites. It is widely used in shallow to medium-depth core sampling projects where mobility and efficiency are critical.

    Crawler mounted hydraulic core drilling rig
    A highly stable and powerful drilling system mounted on a crawler chassis, suitable for complex terrain and medium-to-deep drilling applications. Crawler mounted hydraulic core drilling rig combines hydraulic control with strong adaptability, making it ideal for mining exploration and geological surveys.

    RC (Reverse Circulation) drilling rig
    Specially engineered for fast and efficient sample collection in mineral exploration. The reverse circulation system ensures high sample accuracy and reduced contamination, making it a preferred choice for large-scale drilling projects.
    This product lineup ensures reliable performance across different drilling environments, from portable field exploration to heavy-duty mining operations.

  • Underground Drilling Rigs

    Engineered for confined spaces and challenging underground conditions, these underground drill rigs are ideal for mine development, grade control, and underground exploration. Compact, highly maneuverable, and built with safety as a priority, they provide powerful drilling performance while operating within the strict spatial and ventilation constraints of mines and tunnels.

    We engineer an extensive range of underground drill rigs for mining development and production. Available in a variety of feed lengths, boom configurations and size classes, our Underground Core Drilling maximize productivity while delivering the lowest cost per meter. 

    Key Features of Underground Drilling Rigs

    1. Compact Design for Confined Spaces

    Specially engineered frame structure allows operation in narrow tunnels and low-height mining areas without sacrificing performance.

    2. Strong Drilling Performance

    Despite compact size, the hydraulic system delivers:

    • Stable torque output
    • High penetration rate
    • Excellent core recovery

    3. Safety-First Engineering

    Designed with mining safety standards in mind, including:

    • Stable center of gravity
    • Operator protection structure
    • Reliable hydraulic control system

    4. Flexible Configuration Options

    Available in multiple feed lengths, mast types, and boom configurations to meet different mining conditions.
