Process

How an Order Is Handled

  • You send the drilling site location, soil type, and required depth
  • We confirm the rig configuration matches your site conditions and delivery timeline
  • You approve the final specification sheet and photos before deposit
  • Unit is prepared, tested, and photographed with engine start and hydraulic operation
  • We book RoRo or container shipment and provide export documents for customs
Quality Control

Checks Before Loading

  • Chassis, engine, and pump serial numbers are photographed and matched to the specification sheet
  • Hydraulic system pressure and windlass lift test are recorded on video
  • Mast alignment and turntable rotation are checked for smooth operation
  • Generator and electrical circuits are tested under load before loading
  • Third-party inspection by SGS or your agent is available at the yard before shipment
Customisation

What Can Be Changed

  • Change of cab colour or optional cab type (if available)
  • Addition of extra lighting or safety warning signs
  • Adjustment of windlass rope length or pipe storage rack
  • Installation of a different mud pump model if required
  • Mounting of a second generator or battery bank for extended night work
Honest Comparison

How It Compares With the Alternatives

Trailer-mounted drilling rigThe truck-mounted version offers faster site mobility and does not require a separate towing vehicle
Electric-powered rigDiesel operation avoids grid dependency but requires fuel logistics and has higher operating noise
Use Guide

Using It Well

  • Replace mud pump seals and hoses every 500 hours or after drilling in abrasive formations
  • Inspect turntable bearings and lubricate monthly during continuous operation
  • Keep the generator fuel tank topped and test start-up weekly during idle periods
  • Use only recommended drilling bits for clay, sand, or rock to avoid damage to the Kelly pipe
