MEET OUR NEW SONIC CRAWLER RIG!

Our fleet is expanding! Sonic Drilling Ltd. is delighted to announce the upcoming arrival of its latest addition – a track-mounted SDC-450 sonic drill. This new sonic crawler rig offers a powerful option for difficult-to-access projects, getting into areas that truck-mounted rigs find impossible. With its ability to turn on a dime and in a circle (much like a tank), the new rig will prove especially useful for environmental investigations and geothermal installations.

 

The SDC-450 is physically smaller than the SDC-550 (by approximately 15%) but offers the same capacity and power (it uses the same engine and drill head but in a much more compact configuration). There is also a 15% weight reduction from the large SDC-550 rig.

 

Our new rig also includes an expandable pipe rack to carry enough rods to drill deep enough for most geothermal holes as well as pipe handling equipment which includes a side shifting drill head. A separate console allows the driller's helper to load up the next drill rod while the driller is drilling the hole. As well, the SDC-450 has a winch to handle knock-out style drill bits for geothermal drilling.

 

A sonic crawler rig may be just what your project requires to get the job done!
