Small Rigs

Soil Surveys fleet is rounded out with our smaller Jacro 105, EVH 1750 rigs and the flexible and portable trailer-mounted Parker G03 (PDR) drilling rig. These lightweight rigs are capable of solid flight auger drilling to depths of up to 6m.

The first two rigs are mounted on 4WD vehicles, are operated by experienced Soil Technicians and are well suited to shallow borehole drilling.

The Parker G03 drill rig is able to be fitted to a small excavator to enable access to sites that would otherwise be inaccessible for conventional vehicle mounted drilling rigs.
