Ultra-Slim 1.8m Width: Easily maneuvers through narrow farm gates, orchards, and residential courtyards.
Gas & Water Dual Driller: Alternates seamlessly between high-pressure DTH air hammer and mud pump.
Road-Friendly Mobility: Equipped with durable rubber/steel tracks and high hydraulic legs for crane-free self-loading.
  • Product Detail Introduction

Direct Overview: The Kaishan KW260 is an ultra-compact, highly mobile crawler-mounted water well and geothermal drilling rig designed to drill borehole diameters from ⌀140 mm to 305 mm down to a rated depth of 260 meters. Weighing just 5.6 tons with a narrow 1.8-meter body width, it is powered by a 70–75 kW turbocharged diesel engine delivering 5,600 N·m rotary torque and a 15–20 ton (150–200 kN) pullback force. Its hybrid "Gas & Water" dual-mode system supports both high-pressure DTH air hammer drilling (17–30 bar) for rock and mud rotary pumping for soft soil at penetration speeds of 15–35 m/h.

Ultra-Compact 260m Water Well & Geothermal Drilling Rig

Residential groundwater contractors and rural well drillers often encounter extreme jobsite access restrictions—such as narrow village gates, residential backyards, orchards, and fragile paved roads. Heavy, oversized drilling rigs risk damaging asphalt surfaces or cannot enter these cramped quarters altogether.

The Kaishan KW260 is engineered specifically to conquer tight-access challenges without sacrificing penetration power. At only 4.0 meters in transport length, 1.8 meters in width, and 5,600 kg total weight, it moves smoothly through residential courtyards and rural plots. Operating up to 10 times faster than conventional rotary table drills, its top-drive power head effortlessly alternates between high-pressure DTH air hammer percussion (for granite, limestone, and basalt) and mud circulation (for sand, clay, and gravel).

Core Engineering Features & Performance Advantages

70–75 kW Turbocharged Diesel Power

Equipped with an industrial 70 kW / 75 kW turbocharged diesel engine driving a parallel transmission with independent hydraulic pumps. Delivers reliable power distribution, low fuel consumption, and easy worldwide maintenance.

15–20 Ton Powerful Lifting Hoist

Patented composite arm design with dual lifting cylinders delivers up to 15T–20T rig lifting power. The 3.4m one-time advance stroke handles standard 1.5m, 2m, and 3m drill pipes with built-in cylinder safety limiters.

Three-Speed Hydraulic Top Drive

Integrated gearbox with hydraulic motor and speed reducer delivers 4,200–5,600 N·m torque. A fast distribution valve provides 3-gear speed regulation (40–70 r/min, max up to 150–160 r/min) for both air and water drilling.

High Hydraulic Leveling Outriggers

Four heavy-duty hydraulic outriggers enable rapid chassis leveling on slopes and rough terrain, allowing the rig to elevate and self-load directly onto flatbed transport trailers without a mobile crane.

Ultra-Light 5.6-Ton Crawler Chassis

Weighing only 5,600 kg with an ultra-slim 1.8m width, the KW260 features durable steel tracks (optional road-friendly rubber tracks), minimizing lawn and road surface damage while offering 30° climbing ability.

Dust Collector & Auxiliary Outfitting

Includes an integrated dust removal system for cleaner operations in enclosed cavities/tunnels, customized DTH hammer oil lubricator, soft hydraulic hose sleeves, and a centralized easy-to-use control station.

Recommended Auxiliary Equipment Matching

To maximize penetration efficiency across 140–305 mm boreholes down to 260 meters, the KW260 pairs seamlessly with compact portable screw compressors and mud pumps:

Portable Screw Air Compressors

Kaishan LGCY-13/13, LGCY-18/17, or KSCY-580/13 (13–17 bar, 15–18 m³/min) for high-speed DTH hammer drilling in rock.

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 Drinking Water Wells: Private household and rural community potable groundwater extraction.
  • Small Farm & Garden Irrigation: Small-to-medium agricultural irrigation boreholes for greenhouses and orchards.
  • Geothermal HVAC Ground Loops: Ground source energy loops for residential villas and small buildings.
  • Confined Jobsites & Courtyards: Tight construction projects where standard truck-mounted rigs cannot enter.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the maximum drilling depth and diameter of the Kaishan KW260?

A: The KW260 is rated for drilling depths up to 260 meters (853 ft) with hole diameters from 140 mm to 305 mm, supported by a 15–20 ton lifting force hoist.

Q: Why is the KW260 particularly popular for residential and courtyard drilling?

A: Weighing only 5.6 tons with an ultra-compact footprint (4.0m length × 1.8m width), the KW260 navigates narrow residential streets and courtyards with ease. Its optional rubber tracks protect finished asphalt and paved ground from damage.

Q: Can the KW260 self-load onto flatbed transport trucks?

A: Yes. The four hydraulic outriggers quickly level the rig and elevate it high enough for a flatbed trailer to back underneath, allowing crane-free self-loading and unloading.
