78 HP Wheeled Diesel Water Well Rig, 300 m

Overview

Quick set-up on wheels

This rig travels on wheels and levels itself on four hydraulic legs, so a crew can be drilling soon after arriving at the site. A 78 HP diesel engine, rated at 2,400 rpm, starts with an electric key. The rotation range of 0 to 90 r/min and a 14 t lifting force are sized for a borehole of up to 300 m in 76 to 300 mm diameter.

Flushing and drill pipe

A water pump delivering 60 m³/h supports flushing, which keeps the hole clean and cools the bit. Drill pipe comes in 60, 76 and 89 mm diameters, so you can choose the string for your depth and torque needs.

Transport weight

Transport weight, carrier and mast arrangement depend on the configuration, so check them against your truck or trailer before ordering.

Which buyer picks this model

Choose this rig if you drill many boreholes at different locations and move between them often. The four legs and wheeled carrier cut the time lost in set-up. If your wells are deeper or in hard rock, look at our crawler DTH rig; if you only need a lighter, shallower machine, our portable diesel borehole rig will be easier to carry.

Who should choose the wheeled 78 HP model

This is the 300 m wheeled rig in a group that also has a top-drive 300 m model and a crawler DTH 500 m model. The wheeled chassis and four hydraulic legs make it fast to move and level, which suits contractors who drill many wells a month and travel between villages on roads. The top-drive rig gives more torque and faster rod handling but is heavier and needs more ground support. The crawler DTH rig works in rough terrain without roads. At 78 HP with a 14 t lifting force and 60 m³/h water pump flow, this rig is built for common water-well formations. Choose it for contractors who want a flexible wheel-mounted rig with simple controls. Check ground bearing before setting up, because the four legs spread the load but soft soil still needs mats. Rod handling is manual, so the crew size is a little larger than on a top-drive rig.
