Drilling Machine Transport Services

A drilling machine (or drilling rig) is built for just one purpose - to plumb the earth's depths. Though it comes in different types, common applications of this machinery include the creation of wells for water, drilling at oil rigs (oil and gas wells), or for scientific drilling purposes. More specialized drilling equipment can also be used for testing soil, substrata, or groundwater. They are also employed to lay cables or utilities under the ground (1).

We can range in size and type from small units which can be moved manually by one operator or driver, to towering rigs and heavy loads meant for deep drilling. When attempting to transport your machine, the specific dimensions and weight will determine the sending method used.
