Construction 280 Rotary Drilling Machine

What sets the 280 Rotary Drilling Machine apart

In our range this rig sits above the 220 rotary drilling machine. The extra torque lets it turn a larger bucket through dense clay, gravel and soft rock, which means fewer tool changes on large bored piles and a steadier drilling rate on long shafts. The unit measures 17410 x 3500 x 3520 mm in transport form, so plan road permits and port handling early.

How a rig of this type works

Rigs in the Drilling Rig Equipments class usually work like this:

• A steel mast guides a kelly bar that turns a drilling bucket or auger.
• A hydraulic rotary head and winch lift the spoil out, run from the operator cab.
• Typical models in this class drill from 1.5 to 3.5 m wide and down to about 100 m, so check the stated 2500 mm and 88 m limits against your pile design.

The full data sits in the specification table below.

What we confirm before production

Buyers usually ask us for the kelly bar length, the bucket and auger set, and the spare parts list. We confirm each of these, along with the Incoterm and your destination port, before the build starts. We recommend sending the soil report and pile schedule with your enquiry so we can match the tools to the ground.

Export, safety and documents

We ship this rig to Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and many other markets, with seaworthy crating for the mast and parts. Each order comes with a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin. For site safety, the OSHA guidance on heavy equipment is a useful reference, and CE papers can be requested for EU buyers. Our shipping, Incoterms and export documents page explains each step, and the wider construction machinery and equipments range lists matching support machines.
