Truck Mounted Drilling Rigs
Truck mounted drilling rigs combine borehole drilling equipment with a road-mobile vehicle platform, making them practical for contractors working across multiple drilling locations. Riggers International manufactures and supplies truck mounted drilling rigs for water wells, agricultural boreholes, commercial projects and other drilling applications. Rig configuration can be matched to drilling depth, bore diameter, ground conditions, drilling method and site-access requirements.
Types of Truck Mounted Drilling Rigs
Different truck-mounted configurations are available according to geology, drilling method and project requirements.
Combination Drilling Rigs
Selected configurations can support both rotary and DTH drilling where formation conditions change during drilling.
Truck Mounted Water Well Drilling Rigs
Suitable for groundwater and borehole projects where frequent movement between drilling locations is required.
Truck Mounted DTH Drilling Rigs
Configured with DTH equipment and compressed-air systems for drilling in hard and competent rock formations.
Truck Mounted Rotary Drilling Rigs
Used for suitable rotary drilling applications with compatible drilling tools and circulation systems.
Applications of Truck Mounted Drilling Rigs
Their main advantage is the ability to combine drilling capability and road mobility in one equipment platform
Truck-mounted drilling equipment can support:
- Agricultural and irrigation wells
- Residential water wells
- Community groundwater projects
- Commercial boreholes
- Industrial water wells
- Hard-rock drilling
- Deep borehole projects
- Multiple-site drilling operations
- Selected investigation drilling

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a truck mounted drilling rig?
A truck mounted drilling rig is a drilling system installed on a truck chassis, combining drilling equipment and road mobility in one unit.
2. How does a truck mounted drilling rig work?
The truck transports the rig to the drilling site, where it is positioned and stabilised. The mast, rotary head, feed system and drilling tools then perform the borehole drilling operation.
3. What is the main advantage of a truck mounted drilling rig?
Its main advantage is mobility, allowing contractors to move drilling equipment efficiently between suitable project locations.
4. Can a truck mounted drilling rig drill hard rock?
Yes. A truck-mounted DTH configuration can drill hard rock when matched with a suitable compressor, hammer and drilling tools.
5. Can truck mounted rigs use both rotary and DTH drilling?
Selected combination rigs can support rotary and DTH drilling depending on the machine configuration and supporting equipment.
6. Does truck size affect rig configuration?
Yes. Chassis payload, dimensions and structural capacity must be suitable for the complete drilling system and supporting equipment.
7. What affects truck mounted drilling rig price?
Price depends on drilling capacity, truck chassis, mounting configuration, hydraulic system, drilling method, compressor requirements and accessories.
8. What information is needed for a quotation?
Provide the required drilling depth, bore diameter, geology, project location, drilling method, preferred truck configuration and supporting equipment requirements.
