Drilling Rigs Built for Demanding Ground Conditions
STRONGMAC supplies heavy-duty drilling rigs for mineral exploration, geotechnical investigation, construction and mining. Our range runs from compact SPT rigs for urban site investigation to hydraulic exploration rigs built for deep core drilling. Every rig is configured to your formation, depth and site access, and exported with full documentation and after-sales support.
Our Drilling Rigs Range
Choose the rig that matches your depth, formation and site access. Not sure which fits? Our engineers will recommend a configuration.
All-in-One Spindle Type Drill Rig
A versatile rotary rig for geological investigation, water well drilling and core sampling, with precise torque control across variable formation hardness.
- Depth: 300–1,500 m depending on configuration
- Variable spindle speed: 18–1,500 RPM
- Core sizes: NQ, HQ, PQ
Compact Hydraulic Exploration Drill Rig
Smooth hydraulic torque delivery for mineral exploration and geotechnical surveys in remote or restricted-access locations.
- Diesel or electric hydraulic power unit
- Inclined drilling up to ±90°
- Diamond core, rotary and percussion drilling
Compact Exploration Drill Rig
A portable core drilling rig for exploration crews working in rough terrain where large machines cannot go.
Compact SPT Drill Rig
Built for Standard Penetration Testing, with an auto-drop hammer for consistent blow counts and reliable soil bearing capacity data.
- Designed for ASTM D1586 / ISO 22476-3 testing
- Typical borehole diameter: 50–200 mm
- Foundation and civil engineering investigation
Anchor Drill Rig
Drills anchor and rock-bolt holes for slope stabilization, retaining structures and deep foundations.
Blasting Drill
A percussion rig for quarries, open-pit mines and road construction.
- Hole diameter: 50–250 mm
- Depth: up to 25 m per hole
- Integrated or external compressor
Compact Drilling Machine
Self-propelled or skid-mounted, for tunnels, hillsides and urban sites where space is tight.
Why Choose STRONGMAC Drilling Rigs?
High-torque performance
Keeps penetration steady in hard rock, clay and mixed formations without stalling.
Hydraulic feed control
Proportional feed with anti-stall protection keeps weight-on-bit consistent, reducing bit wear and string fatigue.
Multi-method capability
One rig can handle diamond core, rotary and percussion drilling, so you re-mobilize less.
Safer rod handling
Semi-automatic rod handling on larger rigs removes the riskiest manual task on the rig floor.
Easy to service
Standard NQ/HQ/PQ connections and modular components keep repairs and spare parts simple in remote locations.
Export-ready quality
High-tensile steel fabrication, strict testing and full export documentation for Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe and Australia.
Applications
Mining & mineral exploration
Diamond core drilling, ore body delineation, reverse circulation (RC) drilling and blast holes.
Construction & civil engineering
Foundation investigation, SPT testing, anchor drilling and grouting.
Tunneling
Probe drilling, drainage holes, rock bolting and grout curtains.
Water & environmental
Water wells, monitoring wells and soil sampling.
Energy
Geothermal and stratigraphic core drilling.
How to Choose the Right Drilling Rig
- Formation type. Hard rock calls for diamond core or DTH systems. Soft ground suits rotary drilling.
- Target depth. Compact rigs handle shallow investigation. Deep exploration needs a high-torque spindle or hydraulic rig.
- Site access. Remote terrain needs compact, portable rigs. Open sites can take crawler or truck-mounted machines.
- Core or non-core. Choose a core rig if you need intact samples. Non-core methods are faster and cheaper for blast holes and water wells.
- Power source. Diesel-hydraulic suits remote sites. Electric suits underground work.
Complete Drilling Packages
Beyond the rig, STRONGMAC supplies the matching tools: diamond core bits, drill bits, casings, bit breakers, automatic mixing units and agitators. Our engineers can recommend a turnkey package matched to your ground conditions.
Drilling Rigs FAQs
What is a drilling rig used for?
A drilling rig creates boreholes to collect core samples, test soil, drill blast holes or install water and monitoring wells. It is used in mining, construction, geotechnical engineering, water supply and energy.
What is the difference between an exploration drill rig and a blasting drill?
An exploration rig drills smaller-diameter, deeper holes to recover core or cuttings for geological analysis. A blasting drill makes larger-diameter, shallower holes in quarries and open-pit mines to hold explosive charges.
What is a compact SPT drill rig?
A portable rig for Standard Penetration Tests. A hammer drives a split-spoon sampler into the soil and the blow count is used to assess bearing capacity for foundation design.
Can I get a complete drilling package, not just the rig?
Yes. We supply rigs together with rods, casings, bits, mud pumps, mixing units and accessories, configured to your project.
Which countries do you export to?
We export to customers across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, South America, Europe and Australia.
