Foremost DR-24HD Dual Rotary Rig

The DR-24HD (‘heavy-duty’) features a heavy-duty gear-driven lower drive, which generates two and a half times the torque of the standard DR-24. The DR-24HD is also configured with a heavy-duty mast to withstand the additional torque and larger hoist cylinders for increased pullback capabilities. The DR-24HD is most commonly used in deep, large diameter applications such as municipal/industrial wells and mine de-watering.

Schramm T130 XD Dual Rotary

This mobile Heavy Hoist, Range 3 ready capable drill rig is suited to Deep Water Well and Oil and Gas Exploration and Development work. The machine is fitted with a 26” Casing rotator providing all the benefits of Dual Rotary drilling with Hands free Range 3 tubular handling.

The rig is ideal for Conductor Placement by driving and drilling and Top-hole work for surface casing.

The rig is also used for mineral exploration drilling and can be set up for reverse circulation. The rig is equipped with a telescoping mast and is mounted on a heavy carrier, which allows it to be moved easily on commercial roads without traffic disruption. We have equipped the rig with a hands free drill pipe and casing handling system to improve the safety of the crew on the drill site.

Schramm Loadsafe Tubular Handler

Loadsafe ® is true to its name, offering safe, hands free cycling of drill pipe, collars and well casing for all Schramm Telemast ® rigs designed with tilting top head drives. This automated system is fully intergrated into TXD rig rated at 200,000lb hoist, and is also offered as an option or retrofit for Schramm T200XD, T130XD and T90XD rigs used in energy, mineral exploration, mine rescue, large diameter municipal water well or deep hole geothermal drilling applications. Loadsafe ® is fed from hydraulically operated pipe racks set up in the horizontal position, eliminating "crow's nest" safety concerns fou nd in traditional vertical pipe handling systems. Drill pipe or Range 3 casing is lifted from rack position into alignment with the tilting top head of the rig. A hydraulic roughneck on the rig eliminates manual tongs and the typical risks associated with their use while tripping drill pipe.

KLR DTH 2000 and DTHR 450 Drill Rig

We operate 3 KLR Top drive rigs rated to 300m depths at 8” diameter. The rigs are mounted on 6x4 carriers with separate engines on the deck for the hydraulic functions. We can drill by DTH and direct rotary techniques as the situation requires. The rigs have been upgraded with safety railings, rotation guards and emergency shutdown switches.







DSS SIMBA MKI Drilling Rig

We manufacture drilling rigs uniquely suited to the conditions in rural areas. Our SIMBA series of drills are very light-weight and mobile but this is not achieved at the expense of power.
