JK Drilling offers drilling rigs and supporting equipment for surface rock drilling, water wells and construction projects. Explore our DTH, reverse circulation (RC), top hammer and versatile well drilling rig ranges, then review the air compressors and drilling tools needed for your operation.

The right machine depends on what you need to drill. Start with your application, target hole diameter and depth. If you already have a compressor or drilling tools, include their specifications when you contact us so the proposed equipment can be checked against your existing setup.

Integrated Hydralic DTH Drilling Rigs

An integrated DTH rig combines drilling equipment and an onboard air supply in one machine. This range is relevant when your project calls for a built-in compressor and you want to compare the complete machine configuration. JK lists models such as the JK830, with a published 138–235 mm hole diameter range and 36 m borehole depth.

Crawler Mounted DTH Drilling Rigs

This range includes models with different hole capacities and rod handling arrangements for surface drilling. For example, JK publishes a 90–165 mm hole range and 50 m borehole depth for the JK590BC, while the JK730-2 offers automatic rod changing. Check the air supply requirements and the quoted equipment scope for the particular model you choose.

RC Drilling Rigs

If your drilling program specifies an RC rig, review this range separately from standard DTH blast hole machines. JK currently lists the JK830RC and JKS500F in its RC drilling rig category. Send the required hole diameter, depth and project specifications so the appropriate model and supporting equipment can be discussed.

Crawler Mounted Top Hammer Drilling Rigs

JK’s top hammer drilling rig range includes the JK930 and JK410. Their published hole ranges and depths differ, so select by the drilling plan rather than treating the two machines as interchangeable.

Crawler Mounted Versatile Well Drilling Rigs

For water well projects, start with the required well depth, diameter and formation. JK’s versatile well drilling rig range includes models with published depths from 300 m upward. Review the model page and confirm the drilling method and configuration required for your site.

Match the Rig with the Equipment It Needs

Selecting a rig is only part of the purchasing decision. The quotation should also state which supporting equipment is included and which items need to be sourced separately.

Air Compressors 

DTH drilling requires an air supply matched to the proposed hammer and drilling conditions. An integrated model may carry its compressor onboard; other configurations should be checked for separate compressor requirements. JK lists air compressors on its website. If you already own one, provide its operating pressure and air delivery when requesting a rig recommendation.

Hammers, Rods and Drill Bits

Confirm the compatibility and quantity of the drilling tools in your proposed package. JK lists percussive hammers, drill rods and drill bits separately, along with other drilling rig parts. Ask for an itemized quotation if you need these supplied with the machine.

Dust Control and Spare Parts

Dust control needs depend on the rig and worksite. Review JK’s dust collector range and confirm what is standard or optional for your chosen model. You can also discuss the parts you expect to need during operation.


How to Choose a Drilling Rig for Your Site

Before comparing prices, check these five points against your project:

  1. Application: Are you drilling blast holes, a water well or another specified type of borehole?

  2. Hole requirements: What diameter and depth are required? Are there different hole sizes across the project?

  3. Ground and access: What rock or formation will be drilled? Are there slope, transport width or machine weight limits?

  4. Power and supporting equipment: Is a suitable compressor already available? What drilling tools and dust control equipment are needed?

  5. Quotation scope: Does the offer cover only the rig, or a complete package with accessories and support?

These details allow JK to discuss an appropriate model and make quotations easier to compare on the same equipment scope.


Drilling Applications

Different drilling jobs require different holes, samples and support equipment. Use the applications below to find a starting product range, then confirm the final model and configuration against your ground conditions and project specifications.

ApplicationJK product range to explore
Quarry and open-pit blast holesIntegrated hydraulic DTH rigs or crawler-mounted hydraulic DTH rigs. For suitable smaller surface holes, compare top hammer rigs.
Road, rail and hydropower rock excavationStart with crawler-mounted DTH rigs or top hammer rigs, depending on hole dimensions and working conditions.
Photovoltaic foundation holesReview the JK593G surface drilling rig for photovoltaic holes. Confirm the foundation method before specifying equipment.
Water supply and irrigation wellsCompare crawler-mounted versatile well drilling rigs and ask JK to specify the drilling method and supporting equipment for the formation.
Monitoring, dewatering and geothermal boreholesStart with the versatile well drilling rig range. Ask JK to match the configuration to the individual borehole design.
Mineral exploration and grade-control samplingExplore reverse circulation drilling rigs. Specify whether the project requires RC cuttings or intact core, as these are different sampling outcomes.
Foundation and grouting boreholesDiscuss the JKS500F RC rig or a versatile well rig with JK against the engineering specification.
Existing rig support and fleet expansionBrowse air compressors and drilling rig parts, then request a compatibility check before ordering.


Frequently Asked Questions

What drilling rigs does JK Drilling offer?

JK’s product directory includes integrated and crawler mounted DTH rigs, RC rigs, top hammer rigs and versatile well drilling rigs. Open the relevant category to compare its available models.

Should I choose a DTH, top hammer or RC rig?

Start with the drilling method specified by your project and the required hole dimensions. These are separate product ranges on JK’s website. Send your drilling plan if you need help identifying which range to review.

Is an air compressor included with every rig?

Do not assume that it is. Confirm whether the selected rig has an onboard compressor, needs a separately supplied unit, or will use a compatible compressor you already own. Request this information in the model-specific quotation.

Can I buy drilling tools together with a rig?

JK lists hammers, rods, bits and other parts. Ask the sales team to identify the compatible tools, quantities and inclusions in an itemized proposal.

Which category should I use for a water well project?

Start with the Crawler Mounted Versatile Well Drilling Rig range. Provide the required well depth, diameter and formation so JK can recommend a specific configuration.

What information should I send to get a useful quote?

Include the application, hole diameter and depth, rock or formation conditions, project country, required quantity, existing compressor details and the equipment you want included. If you have a drilling plan or specification sheet, send it with your inquiry.
