Technical notes
Differences between truck-mounted and semi-trailer drilling rigs
Towed-trailer, truck-mounted, semi-trailer, trailer and low-bed solutions offer different advantages depending on transport mode, site mobility and project scope.
Truck-mounted configuration
Truck-mounted configurations are offered for projects suited to mobility, site moves and existing carrier vehicle infrastructure. In the Qawsar catalog, K600 ECO, K800 PRO and K1000 HEAVY DUTY are truck-mounted models.
Technical details of the truck for mounting are shared before production or site preparation. On request, the Qawsar technical team can mount the machine on the truck on site.
Semi-trailer configuration
Integrated production on a semi-trailer allows the carrier and the drilling unit to be planned together for certain operations. K600 ECO SEMI TRAILER, K800 PRO SEMI TRAILER and K1000 HEAVY DUTY SEMI TRAILER are configured per project according to the drilling method, target depth, work site and carrier preference.
Towed-trailer, trailer and low-bed solutions
The compact-class K400 LIGHT sits on a towed 15 t trailer. In the heavy class, MAXIMUS K1500 is carried on a 45 t trailer and GOLIATH K2500 on a 100 t low-bed.
