Modular Drill Rig – Multi-Carrier Diamond & Sampling Solution

Overview

The Modified 3300 Modular Drill Rig is a flexible, high-performance drilling platform designed for contractors operating across variable access conditions and complex logistics environments.

It is engineered to be:

• Helicopter-transportable

• Truck-mountable when access allows

• Adaptable to multiple carrier configurations

• Suitable primarily for diamond drilling, with high torque rotation capability for other sampling methods

This configuration gives contractors operational flexibility without investing in multiple specialised machines.

The Challenge

A drilling company required a drill rig that could:

• Be modular for helicopter transport

• Be mounted onto a truck when road access was available

• Adapt to different carrier setups as project needs changed

• Deliver strong performance in diamond drilling

• Provide high torque rotation for alternative sampling applications

The contractor needed one platform capable of serving multiple job types and logistical conditions.

The Solution

101 Sampling Solutions recommended a Modified 3300 configured with:

• 2-speed head option for operational flexibility

• Simple, lightweight modular design

• Configurable mounting system

The modular architecture allows:

• Mounting on a range of carriers

• Helicopter transport when required

• Reconfiguration between projects

• Efficient mobilisation across remote and accessible sites

Results

• The contractor was able to bid competitively across diverse projects

• Successfully secured and executed logistically complex drilling contracts

• Expanded capability to compete in niche and challenging environments

• Strengthened market position through versatility and efficiency

Technical Specifications

• Design depth:
  • Up to 250 m N-size diamond coring
