Direct Overview: The Kaishan KW180R is an ultra-compact, rubber-tracked portable water well and geothermal drilling rig designed for drilling borehole diameters from ⌀140 mm to 254 mm down to a maximum depth of 180 meters. Powered by a fuel-efficient 55 kW Quanchai turbocharged diesel engine delivering 5,600 N·m rotary torque and a 10-ton (100 kN) pullback force, it boasts an industry-leading narrow 1.5-meter chassis width and a light 5,000 kg operating weight. Its hybrid "Gas & Water" dual-mode system supports high-pressure DTH air hammers (17–25 bar) for hard rock and mud rotary pumping for soft soil across confined residential yards, lawns, and tight rural plots.

Residential drinking water boreholes, private greenhouse irrigation, and domestic geothermal ground-loop installations frequently face severe space constraints—including narrow garden gates, residential courtyards, landscaped lawns, and private driveways. Standard steel-tracked or truck-mounted rigs either cannot fit through these tight passages or cause costly surface gouging to asphalt and pavers.
The Kaishan KW180R is purpose-built to solve residential access challenges. Featuring an ultra-slim 1,500 mm width, a short 3.8m transport length, and ground-friendly rubber tracks, it maneuvers into confined spaces with zero surface damage. Operating up to 10 times faster than traditional rotary table drills, its top-drive power head seamlessly alternates between high-pressure air hammer percussion for bedrock (f=6–20) and mud circulation for sand, clay, and gravel.
Powered by an industrial 55 kW Quanchai diesel engine with parallel transmission and independent hydraulic oil pumps. Ensures balanced power delivery, high fuel economy, and low-cost, straightforward maintenance.
Boasting an ultra-slim 1,500 mm transport width, the KW180R is the narrowest rig in its class. Durable rubber tracks protect urban asphalt, pavers, and residential turf while offering 30° climbing ability on rough terrain.
Patented composite arm design with dual lifting cylinders delivers 10T (100 kN) rig lifting power. The 3.0m feed stroke smoothly accommodates standard 1.5m, 2m, and 3m drill pipes with built-in cylinder safety limiters.
Top drive power head with speed reducer delivers 4,200–5,600 N·m torque and 40–70 r/min (fast distribution valve allows speeds up to 150–160 r/min). Large hollow spindle allows air, foam, and mud drilling without head swaps.
Four heavy hydraulic legs provide fast leveling on uneven ground and elevate the rig high enough for a flatbed truck to drive directly underneath, enabling 100% crane-free self-loading and unloading.
Equipped with an integrated dust suppression device suitable for tunnel/cavity applications, customized DTH hammer oil mist lubricator, soft-protected hydraulic hoses, and an intuitive centralized control console.

To achieve maximum penetration across 140–254 mm boreholes down to 180 meters, the KW180R connects with compact portable screw compressors and mud pumps:
Kaishan LGCY-13/13, LGCY-15/13, or KSCY-550/13 (13–17 bar, 15–18 m³/min) for fast rock penetration with 4"/5" DTH hammers.
BW-160 reciprocating mud pump for borehole wall stabilization when drilling through alluvial sand, gravel, and wet clay.
A: The KW180R is rated for drilling depths up to 180 meters (590 ft) with borehole diameters from 140 mm to 254 mm, backed by a 10-ton lifting force mast.
A: With an ultra-narrow 1.5-meter body width and 5.0-ton weight, the KW180R fits through narrow residential gates. Its non-marking rubber tracks protect private driveways, lawns, and pavers from damage.
A: The KW180R is more compact (1.5m width vs. 1.7m) with a 55 kW engine, 10T pullback, and 180m depth rating. The KW200R offers an upgraded 65 kW engine, 13T pullback, and 200m depth rating for contractors needing slightly higher power.
