How to Match the XSC5 280 to Your Project
A contractor juggling dozens of scattered water-supply and geothermal jobs a year loses more money to scheduling than to drilling: every towed unit needs a tractor, a chase vehicle and a waiting day on site, while the XSC5 280 all terrain drilling rig simply drives itself there. Built on a heavy off-road chassis with a 220 kW road engine and a 164 kW deck power pack, it drills to 500 m on 89 mm pipe through a 500 mm pass-through, pulling with 280 kN of hook force from a hydraulic top drive rated at 11,000 N-m across 0-143 r/min. Mud rotary, air DTH percussion and foam are all on board, and at 96 km/h road speed with 54% gradeability it crosses the gravel and desert tracks that stop a two-vehicle convoy.
When you send an XSC5 280 inquiry, tell us the borehole diameter more than the depth — the 500 mm pass-through is what decides whether a 300 mm water well or a heavy casing string goes down; the ground cover, because gravel and weathered rock favour the DTH air mode while soft overburden favours mud rotary; and the road standard at your furthest pad, which sets tyre and suspension specification rather than drilling hardware.
A service engineer can be dispatched for commissioning, and remote support continues after handover — practical when one of these units moves weekly between municipal water and geothermal jobs spread across a wide operating region.
