Equipped with a Quanchai engine delivering 55kW of reliable power, combined with an efficient hydraulic system and optimized power matching, the KCX180 ensures high penetration rates while maintaining excellent fuel economy.

1. Water Well Drilling

Extensively used in agricultural irrigation wells, rural drinking water wells, and municipal water supply projects, with 180m drilling depth meeting the requirements of most standard water well construction applications while delivering high efficiency to significantly reduce per-well completion time.

2. Geothermal & Ground Source Heat Pump Systems

Well-suited for ground source heat pump borehole installation where the 140–254mm hole diameter range covers common heat exchange hole specifications, and the fully hydraulic system provides precise control for dense drilling patterns in confined job sites.

3. Foundation Piling & Civil Infrastructure

Applied in building foundations, bridge piling, and utility tower foundation construction where small to medium diameter boreholes are required, with excellent maneuverability enabling rapid relocation and setup across multiple job site positions.

4. Complex Geological Drilling

Delivers effective penetration in challenging formations including loose strata, gravel layers, and hard rock through adjustable drilling parameters and compatibility with DTH hammer air drilling methods, supporting both mud rotary and air percussion drilling techniques.

1. High Drilling Efficiency for Reduced Project Timelines

The fully hydraulic system combined with powerful swing torque (3200–4600 N·m) delivers penetration rates of 10–35 m/h, enabling superior single-shift footage that helps contractors shorten project duration and lower overall operational costs.

2. Compact Structure for Superior Maneuverability

With compact dimensions of 3950×1630×2250mm and lightweight construction, the KCX180 requires minimal workspace and can be easily transported and positioned in confined urban sites, mountainous terrain, and agricultural areas without heavy dismantling for relocation, significantly reducing mobilization expenses.

3. Stable Performance with Low Maintenance Costs

The well-designed hydraulic system ensures consistent performance with minimal failure rates, while all core components utilize proven, reliable configurations that minimize unplanned downtime and keep long-term operating costs under control.

4. Strong Adaptability with Factory-Modifiable Configuration

Supplied standard with a mud pump for water drilling, the KCX180 can be factory-modified to support dual-purpose water-air operation, accommodating various drilling methods and challenging formations to match your specific project requirements.

5. Reliable Configuration for Efficient Drilling

Powered by a 55kW engine for strong and stable performance, equipped with rubber tracks for unparalleled ground protection on residential and sensitive site, and a multi-stage air filtration system to protect the engine in dusty drilling environments and extend service life.

Q1: What is the recommended hole diameter range for the KCX180?

The recommended hole diameter range is 140–254mm, covering most standard water well, geothermal, and foundation borehole specifications for general construction applications.

Q2: How do I select the appropriate drill pipe size?

Drill pipe options include Φ76 and Φ89 diameters with lengths of 1.5m, 2.0m, and 3.0m – the selection should be based on hole diameter, drilling depth, and geological conditions, with Φ76 typically recommended for 140–180mm holes and Φ89 for 180–254mm holes.

Q3: Does the KCX180 support DTH hammer air drilling?

The standard configuration includes a mud pump for water drilling, but the rig can be factory-modified to support dual-purpose water-air operation, enabling DTH hammer drilling and other air-assisted methods for efficient penetration in hard rock formations.

Q4: What are the air pressure and consumption requirements for air drilling?

Working air pressure ranges from 1.7–2.5 MPa with air consumption of 17–31 m³/min – please ensure your air compressor meets these specifications when planning for DTH hammer operations.

Q5: Is the rig easy to transport between job sites?

With compact dimensions of 3950×1630×2250mm and excellent maneuverability, the KCX180 can be loaded onto most standard transport vehicles without requiring heavy special equipment, enabling rapid and cost-effective relocation between sites.

Q6: What engine brand and power rating does the rig use?

The KCX180 is powered by a Quanchai engine rated at 55kW, delivering reliable performance with widely available spare parts and convenient aftermarket support for routine maintenance.

Q7: What are the gradeability and walking speed capabilities?

The rig offers maximum gradeability of 30° and walking speed of 2.5 km/h, making it well-suited for hilly terrain, mountainous areas, and short-distance self-relocation within job sites to position accurately on uneven ground.

Q8: What is the purpose of the high leg stroke design?

The high leg stroke of 1.4m enables self-loading and unloading without requiring additional lifting equipment, saving time and costs while also allowing rapid leveling on uneven surfaces for stable operation.

Q9: What are the shipping methods and delivery lead times?

We offer sea freight (20–30 days), air freight (5–7 days), and express courier (3–5 days), with standard production taking 15–20 working days and custom modification orders requiring additional time – exact delivery schedules are confirmed upon order placement.

Q10: What after-sales service and technical support do you provide?

We provide a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects, free remote technical support via phone, email, or video call, and on-site assistance upon request (travel costs apply) – maintenance manuals and genuine spare parts are also available for long-term support.

Q11: What payment methods do you accept?

We accept T/T (30% deposit + 70% before shipment), L/C at sight or usance, Western Union, and PayPal for samples, with Alibaba Trade Assurance also available – terms can be negotiated based on order volume and credit history.
