Kaishan KW180R 180m Rubber-Track Water Well Drill Rig

The Kaishan KW180R is an ultra-slim, 5.0-ton rubber-track water well drilling rig engineered for depths up to 180 meters (⌀140–254mm). Powered by a 55 kW Quanchai engine with 10T pullback force, it delivers fast air and mud drilling in confined residential spaces.
Class-Narrowest 1.5m Width: Easily slips through garden gates, private alleys, and tight courtyards.
Surface-Friendly Rubber Tracks: Maneuvers across residential driveways and lawns with zero ground damage.
Gas & Water Dual Driller: Effortlessly alternates between high-pressure DTH air hammer and mud pump.
  • Product Detail Introduction

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.

Ultra-Slim 180m Rubber-Tracked Water Well & Geothermal Rig

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.

Core Engineering Features & Performance Advantages

55 kW Quanchai Turbocharged Engine

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.

1.5m Ultra-Narrow Rubber-Track Chassis

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.

10-Ton Pullback Dual-Cylinder Hoist

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.

Three-Speed Hydraulic Top Drive

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.

Self-Loading High Hydraulic Outriggers

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.

Cavity Dust Device & Auto Lubricator

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.

Recommended Auxiliary Equipment Matching

To achieve maximum penetration across 140–254 mm boreholes down to 180 meters, the KW180R connects with compact portable screw compressors and mud pumps:

Portable Screw Air Compressors

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.

Mud Drilling Pump Stations

BW-160 reciprocating mud pump for borehole wall stabilization when drilling through alluvial sand, gravel, and wet clay.

Primary Engineering Applications

  • Residential Potable Drinking Wells: Private villas, rural homesteads, and small village groundwater boreholes.
  • Small Farm & Garden Irrigation: Small-to-medium agricultural irrigation boreholes for greenhouses and orchards.
  • Geothermal HVAC Ground Loops: Ground source energy loops for residential houses and small commercial buildings.
  • Confined Jobsites & Courtyards: Tight garden projects where standard wide rigs cannot enter without damaging paved surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the maximum drilling depth of the Kaishan KW180R?

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.

Q: Why is the KW180R popular for residential courtyard drilling?

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.

Q: How does the KW180R compare to the KW200R?

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.
