Product Overview

The SUNGOOD TECH 180-meter portable diesel hydraulic water well drilling rig is a compact, versatile borehole machine built for contractors who work across varied terrain and geology. It combines a three-chain power head feed system, switchable air DTH and mud rotary drilling, and a configurable wheeled or tracked chassis.

Whether you are drilling community water wells in rural Tanzania, mineral exploration boreholes in Indonesia, or irrigation wells in India's drylands, this mini borehole drilling machine adapts to your conditions — not the other way around.

At a glance:

• Max depth: 180 m  | Borehole diameter: 100–350 mm
• Engine: CHANGCHAI diesel, 25 HP -35HP | Lifting force: 12 T
• Weight: 900 kg  | Folds to 2.5 m height for transport
• Three-chain lift  | Dual-mode (air DTH + mud rotary) |  Configurable chassis

Key Features

Three-Chain Lift System

Most compact rigs in this class rely on two chains to raise and lower the power head. SUNGOOD TECH engineers opted for three — and the difference shows up on site, not just on paper.

• More stable — spreads load evenly across the mast, reducing lateral wobble during rapid traverse
• Straighter boreholes — the power head tracks truer; less time realigning between strokes means faster completion
• Less wear — reduced vibration extends component life across the feed system

Over a full 180-meter hole, these gains compound. Contractors who have run both setups notice the stability difference on the first job — the third chain is not a gimmick.

Dual-Mode Drilling: Air DTH or Mud Rotary

The rig accepts an onboard air compressor for DTH hammer drilling or a mud pump for conventional rotary water drilling. Swap between methods as the formation changes — no equipment swap, no second rig.

• Air DTH — Granite, basalt, quartzite. High-pressure air drives the hammer through rock that mud rotary cannot touch.
• Mud Rotary — Clay, sand, alluvium, soft overburden. Mud circulates cuttings efficiently without hammer wear.

In regions like northern Nigeria or Kenya's Rift Valley — where boreholes pass through alternating soft and hard strata in the same hole — this flexibility eliminates the need for two separate rigs.

The air DTH mode runs a closed circulation loop: zero water consumption, zero mud contamination in the aquifer. For arid zones like Yemen, Ethiopia's Somali Region, or Namibia, this is often the only practical drilling method — you are not competing with local communities for water they cannot spare.

Configurable Chassis: Match the Terrain

Pick the undercarriage that fits your operating conditions:

• Wheeled trailer — road-towable, lowest upfront cost, fast between villages
• Tracked undercarriage — handles slopes, mud, and rough off-road access that stops wheeled rigs
• Truck bed or custom carrier — integrate with your existing fleet

The mast folds down to 2.5 meters for transport. No crane, no wide-load permits. Setup under 30 minutes for a crew that knows the machine. As a small tracked water well drilling equipment option in this weight class, the mobility-to-capability ratio is hard to beat.

Proven Across Five Continents

Sub-Saharan Africa

Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Ghana. Crystalline basement rock that destroys conventional bits is routine for the air DTH mode. Compact footprint reaches villages that truck-mounted rigs cannot access. This portable water well drilling rig for Africa handles the terrain and geology that keep heavier equipment parked at the depot.

Southeast Asia

Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia. Volcanic formations and limestone karst demand flexibility — soft coastal sediments one day, hard interior rock the next. Dual-mode covers both. The tracked option handles monsoon-season access roads.

South America

Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador. At 3,500 meters above sea level, air thins and some machines lose power. The diesel hydraulic system on this rig maintains consistent output regardless of air density — a practical advantage when drilling community water wells in the Andes.

South Asia

India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal. Deep alluvial aquifers with occasional hard rock intrusions. Run mud rotary through sediment, flip to air DTH when you hit basalt or granite — same rig, same crew, no equipment swap. This diesel hydraulic DTH drilling machine 180m is built for exactly this kind of mixed-geology work.

Middle East & Arid Regions

Yemen, Oman, Sahel. Where water is scarce and every liter counts, the closed air circulation system drills without competing for community water. Zero mud contamination means cleaner boreholes from day one.
