With NGBF 800, we can drill 17 1/2" to 20" holes to depths of 400 meters with a single compressor

The NGBF 800 Hydro rig is designed to uphold the core principles of strength, reliability, and user-friendliness, while incorporating advanced technology. This rig is specially designed for deep LDFR waterwells, making it a leader in its class worlwide.

Key Features:

• 55-ton Pullback Capacity: Ensures robust performance for deep drilling operations.
• Telescopic Mast: Features an 11-meter feed stroke for extended reach.
• Tilting Drill Head: Enhances operational flexibility and efficiency.
• 30-inch Table Opening: Accommodates larger drilling tools and equipment.

Notable Remarks:

• Nathan Elford highlights the rig’s design for deep LDFR waterwells and its leadership in the Australian market.
• The rig’s ability to move without restrictive permits is particularly advantageous for clients with projects in remote or challenging terrains.

Advantages:

• Small Footprint and Road-Legal Status: Mounted on a standard wheelbase Mercedes Arocs 4846AK 8 x 8 carrier, the rig weighs 38 tons, allowing it to be moved without restrictive permits. This offers significant cost savings and flexibility, especially for projects in remote or challenging terrains.
• Eco-Friendly Design: The rig’s hydraulic group is powered by the Mercedes truck engine via a PTO drive shaft, eliminating the need for a traditional diesel deck engine and reducing emissions.
• Advanced Drilling Capabilities: Capable of drilling 17 1⁄2” to 20” holes to depths of 400 meters with a single compressor, significantly cutting down on fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
• Remote-Control Systems: Allow the driller to stay away from high-pressure zones, enhancing safety.
