Applications – Where Vertical Lifting Drilling Rig Adds Value

Application	Why Choose a Vertical Lifting Rig	Typical Depth
Water well drilling	Drives to the village, sets up in a narrow street, drills 100‑400mm diameter boreholes. Minimal site preparation required.	50 – 500 m
Geothermal boreholes	Urban backyards and parking lots have limited access. The vertical mast fits where a crane cannot.	50 – 300 m
Mine exploration & degassing	Narrow tunnels (1.4m – 2.5m wide) require compact equipment. Underground version fits through standard mining drifts.	50 – 600 m
Workover & well service	On a crowded well pad, space between wellheads is tight. The rig moves between wells without full disassembly.	500 – 3,000 m
Mineral exploration	Remote mountain roads limit truck lengths. The trailer‑mounted version is towed by a standard 4×4 pickup.	100 – 800 m
Emergency rescue / relief	After a landslide or flood, roads are blocked. The rig must be air‑transportable or towable by light vehicles.	50 – 300 m
Offshore platform maintenance	Deck space is limited. The vertical lift mast deploys without swinging into adjacent equipment.	500 – 2,000 m
Coalbed methane / coal gas	Access roads to remote wellheads are unpaved. The crawler‑mounted version travels where trucks cannot.	200 – 1,000 m

Based on data from the National Mine Rescue Team of Shandong, specialized dual‑powerhead vehicle‑mounted drilling rigs have achieved hoisting capacity of 1350 kN and a total footage exceeding 10,000 meters, effectively meeting the demands of emergency rescue drilling in coal mine disasters. This demonstrates that vertical lifting drilling rigs are not just convenient – they are essential for critical missions where every minute counts.

FAQ – Vertical Lifting Drilling Rig

Q1: What is the difference between a vertical lifting drilling rig and a conventional land rig?

A: A conventional land rig uses a crane or drawworks to erect a large mast that pivots from a horizontal to vertical position. This requires significant swing clearance. A vertical lifting drilling rig uses hydraulic cylinders to lift the mast straight up from a compact base – no swing clearance needed. It is also typically self‑propelled (truck or crawler), whereas conventional rigs are transported in multiple modules.

Q2: How deep can a vertical lifting drilling rig drill?

A: Our standard models are designed for depths of 300 to 3,000 meters, depending on model configuration. The SJ‑V80 model (3‑section telescopic mast, 800 kN hook load) is capable of drilling down to 3,000 meters in suitable formations. For deeper applications (4,000m+), we recommend our modular drilling rig series.

Q3: Can I use the rig for both vertical and angled drilling?

A: Yes. While the primary mast orientation is vertical, the rig can be configured for angled drilling up to 45° using an articulated mast head or by tilting the entire substructure with adjustable outriggers. The underground mining version offers ±45° angle capability. For dedicated horizontal drilling, we offer separate coiled tubing units.

Q4: How long does it take to set up the rig at a new location?

A: With a trained crew of 2‑3 people, the truck‑mounted version can be set up and ready to drill in 15‑30 minutes. The sequence: deploy outriggers, level the chassis, raise the mast to vertical, extend telescopic sections (if fitted), connect mud hoses, and start the circulating system. The crawler‑mounted version may take slightly longer due to manual track leveling.

Q5: What kind of maintenance does the hydraulic mast require?

A: The hydraulic lifting cylinders require grease of the pivot points every 50 operating hours and hydraulic oil level checks every 250 hours. The cylinder rod seals should be inspected every 500 hours for signs of leakage or scoring. We provide a laminated maintenance checklist with every rig.

Q6: Can the rig be operated by a two‑person crew?

A: Yes. With the semi‑automated control system (optional), one operator at the console can handle all drilling functions while a second crew member manages mud systems, casing, and downhole tools. Basic manual models may require three crew members for efficient operation.

Q7: Do you offer training?

A: Yes. Every rig purchase includes 5 days of on‑site training covering: setup and teardown, safe operation of the hydraulic mast, maintenance procedures, and emergency response. For international customers, we can train your crew at our factory before shipment.

Q8: What is the delivery lead time?

A: Standard truck‑mounted models (SJ‑V30, SJ‑V50) are available in 90‑120 days from order. Custom configurations (depth extensions, special coatings, arctic packages) typically require 120‑150 days. Crawler‑mounted and underground versions take 150‑180 days.

Q9: Can you supply a complete package including mud pump, drill pipe, and downhole tools?

A: Absolutely. We are a one‑stop manufacturer of drilling equipment. We can supply:

• Mud pumps (triplex, up to 1,600 HP)

• Drill pipe (2‑3/8″ to 5‑1/2″, API grade E to S)

• Solids control equipment (shakers, desanders, centrifuges)

• Casing and tubing (from 4‑1/2″ to 13‑3/8″)

All components are pre‑tested together before shipment.

Q10: Do you offer financing?

A: Yes. Through Sinopec's financial partners, we offer:

• Operating lease (12‑60 months) – equipment rental with maintenance included

• Finance lease – ownership transfers at end of term

• Bank financing support – we assist with documentation for your preferred lender
