Borehole Machines

What is a Borehole Drilling Machine?

A borehole drilling machine is specialized equipment designed to drill deep holes in the ground for a variety of applications, including water well drilling, mining and mineral exploration, piling for construction projects, blast hole drilling in quarries, and environmental or geotechnical investigations. Our borehole rigs are engineered to perform efficiently across all soil and rock formations, supporting both rotary and down-the-hole (DTH) drilling technologies. This versatility ensures high performance and adaptability across diverse drilling conditions.

Types of Borehole Drilling Rigs We Manufacture

 Truck Mounted Borehole Drilling Rigs

Heavy-duty borehole rigs mounted on commercial trucks like MAN, Tata, and Bharat Benz offer high mobility and are built for deep drilling up to 600 meters. Engineered with high-torque rotary heads and advanced hydraulic systems, they deliver power, efficiency, and durability in demanding terrains. Ideal for municipal water supply, mining operations, and deep water wells in rural or industrial areas.

DTH (Down-The-Hole) Borehole Drilling Rigs

DTH (Down-The-Hole) borehole drilling rigs are designed for hard rock formations, utilizing pneumatic hammer technology to ensure rapid penetration and deep, precise drilling. They are ideal for mining, blast hole drilling in quarries, and rock-based water wells, especially in arid regions. With a drilling depth capability of up to 500 meters, these rigs are essential for demanding geological conditions.

Rotary Borehole Drilling Machines

Rotary borehole drilling machines are ideal for soft to medium soil formations, using rotating drill bits and mud circulation for efficient, stable drilling. They are well-suited for construction projects, piling, and environmental investigations that demand precision and speed. These rigs offer fast performance in clay and sandy soils and are fully compatible with foundation work.

Skid Mounted & Portable Borehole Machines

Our skid-mounted and portable borehole drilling machines are compact, lightweight, and ideal for urban areas or remote locations with limited access. Designed for small-scale water wells and temporary drilling, they offer fast setup and easy transport. Key components include a robust mast assembly, rotary head or DTH hammer, hydraulic power system, air compressor or mud pump, intuitive control panel, and optional truck mounting for enhanced mobility.

Key Components of Our Borehole Rigs

The mast assembly provides structural support and stability to the rig during drilling operations. It allows the equipment to lift and lower the drill string with precision, ensuring deep and accurate drilling.
The rotary head rotates the drill rods, while the DTH hammer system delivers high-impact energy to break through rock formations. This dual system enables efficient drilling in both soft soils and hard rock conditions.
The hydraulic control unit powers the lifting, lowering, and hoisting operations of the rig. It ensures smooth and precise control over the mast and other hydraulic components during the drilling process.

Drill rods connect the rig to the drill bit, providing strength and stability during the drilling process. The high-quality drill bits are designed to handle various soil and rock types for effective borehole creation.


The mud pump circulates drilling fluid to clear cuttings and stabilize the borehole. The air compressor assists by powering pneumatic tools and clearing debris from the drilling site.


The diesel engine or Power Take-Off (PTO) system provides the power required to run the rig in remote locations. Diesel engines ensure continuous operation, while PTO systems utilize the vehicle’s power for added efficiency.

How to Choose the Right Borehole Rig

Drilling Depth: 200–600m depending on water or mining requirements.
Formation Type: Soft soil → Rotary rig | Hard rock → DTH rig.
Mobility Needs: Truck-mounted rigs for large projects; portable rigs for remote sites.
Budget: We offer affordable borehole rigs for Nigeria without compromising quality.

Maintenance Tips for Long Service Life
