KS Crawler Water Well Drilling Rigs
Crawler-mounted water well drilling rigs for boreholes and deep wells. Compare published hole diameter, depth and drill pipe model by model.
Applications
- Water well drilling
- Deep wells
- Geological drilling
Key features
- ✓Full-hydraulic drive with single-lever operation for fast rod handling
- ✓Matched rotary head, mud pump and mast system for reliable deep drilling
- ✓Wide hole diameter coverage for water well and borehole projects
- ✓Stable crawler chassis with outriggers for uneven site conditions
- ✓Cold-climate tested components for desert and high-altitude sites
Quick Selection Guide
Use the published hole range, drive arrangement and duty notes to narrow the Crawler Water Well Series range before opening a model page.
RequirementModels to reviewPublished selection basis
Deep projects
Deep-well class with water-and-air dual working systems; pair with LGZJ high-pressure compressors.
Soft or uneven terrain
30° gradeability; long site-to-site moves need a lowboy trailer.

KS crawler water well drilling rigs are full-hydraulic drilling units built for water well, borehole, geothermal and geological projects, and every published depth, hole diameter and drill pipe size is listed per model. Each rig pairs a matched rotary head, mud pump and lattice mast system, and is powered by heavy-duty diesel engines with hydraulic outriggers for stable operation on uneven sites. The series is designed for one-man operation: single-lever feed control, auto rod handling and clear instrument panels speed up hole cycles on production projects. KS rigs are cold-climate tested for desert, plateau and remote-site conditions, and can be delivered as a complete package with a matched high-pressure air compressor (KSZJ/LGZJ series), DTH hammer and drill pipe sets. At publication, the series covers 12 models — key specifications are listed below.
