Description
50 kN Crawler Drilling Rig (YN27 Engine)
The compact industrial-grade crawler drilling rig is a high-performance machinery complex engineered for severe geological conditions. Powered by a robust YN27 (Yunnei) 42 kW diesel engine, the unit generates an exceptional maximum torque of 9,800 N·m and provides a thrusting capacity of up to 50 kN. This asset is perfectly suited for geological exploration, water well drilling, and engineering-geological surveys in terrains with complex topographies. You can explore our full range of heavy equipment in our special machinery catalog.
Featuring a wide range of rotary speeds (10 forward gears from 33 to 1120 RPM) and full compatibility with international core barrel standards (NQ / HQ / PQ), the rig ensures high-precision penetration in both dense soils and solid rock formations. The unit integrates seamlessly with industry-standard BW series mud pumps (BW160/200/250). We manage direct supply chains from Tier-1 Chinese manufacturing facilities, ensuring comprehensive Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), transparent export compliance, and end-to-end heavy cargo logistics directly to the SADC region via earthmoving hubs.
Technical Documentation & Specifications
Technical metrics are validated by rigorous Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Positive Material Identification (PMI) protocols. Every unit undergoes structural integrity verification to comply with international heavy machinery safety standards prior to dispatch.
For professional B2B contractors and geological enterprises in South Africa, procuring industrial drilling assets from China represents a strategic step in fleet modernization. We highly recommend browsing our compact machinery solutions to match varying project scopes. The drastically lowered Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is driven by the mechanical simplicity of the YN27 engine and global parts availability. Furthermore, the robust crawler chassis features a gradeability of up to 30 degrees, enabling deep access into remote mining and forestry areas without the dependency on auxiliary towing equipment.
Executive Specification Summary:
The Compact Crawler Drilling Rig is purpose-built for mineral exploration and water well construction. Powered by a YN27 (42 kW) diesel engine, it delivers a maximum torque of 9,800 N·m and a thrusting force of 50 kN. Fully compatible with drill pipes (Ø50-89 mm) and standard NQ / HQ / PQ core barrels. Operating weight: 4,500 kg. Direct compatibility with BW-series mud pumps guarantees operational readiness in harsh African environments.
The high-pressure hydraulic feed mechanism ensures consistent drilling stability, dramatically reducing structural vibrations and guaranteeing millimeter-precision even through mixed geological strata. The YN27 power unit is globally recognized for its extreme maintainability, making this rig the definitive choice for agile B2B contractors minimizing downtime. We ensure comprehensive documentation management and adherence to international data standards, as strictly outlined in our corporate privacy policy to protect client trade secrets.
A correctly configured rig package (incorporating optional BW pumps and compressed air stations) facilitates a massive spectrum of operations. It matches the outputs of oversized legacy machinery while slashing fuel and logistics OPEX by up to 40%. Corporate buyers are provided with a full suite of commercial invoices, Bills of Lading, and certificates of origin for flawless asset capitalization on corporate balance sheets.
Global Procurement Framework
1. Specification
Aligning technical needs (pumps, NQ/HQ standards). We generate a strict RFQ for the exact rig configuration.
2. Contracting
Executing international B2B contracts. Price locking via LC or verified SWIFT transfers ensuring financial safety.
3. FAT Inspection
On-site engineering audit in China. Pressure testing hydraulics (50 kN) and detailed video reporting to the buyer.
4. Global Logistics
Loading via heavy-duty lowbeds. Comprehensive marine cargo insurance and export customs clearance at FOB port.
5. Freight to RSA
CIF delivery to Durban Port. Support with SARS customs clearing agents and inland transit monitoring to Johannesburg.
6. Acceptance
Final site handover. Spare parts (ZIP) inventory checks and remote commissioning instructions for engineering teams.
Accurate logistics forecasting is critical when procuring heavy industrial assets. To streamline your capital expenditure (CAPEX) planning, we provide transparent freight calculations for the 4.5-ton rig via optimal shipping lanes. The below calculation reflects Ro-Ro or Flat-Rack containerized transport of the collapsed unit (4.6 x 1.9 x 2.5 m) directly to the South African industrial hubs.
Heavy Equipment Freight Calculator (Updated: 2026)
Supply Route: Factory (PRC) -> Shanghai Port -> Ocean Freight -> Port of Durban -> Johannesburg (RSA).
CIF Durban Freight: Subject to current maritime rates.
Inland Haulage to Johannesburg: Calculated on lowbed trailer request.
Disclaimer: Final logistics pricing is confirmed post-specification of drilling tools. Delivery costs fluctuate based on USD/ZAR exchange rates, dimensions of auxiliary equipment (compressors), and seasonal maritime carrier surcharges.
Supply chain security is codified through strict international legal frameworks. We utilize verified financial instruments and tier-1 banking institutions to eliminate transaction risks associated with cross-border manufacturing orders. B2B buyers have absolute transparency from currency conversion to final Bill of Lading issuance. Our procurement infrastructure is immune to regional sanctions, establishing a compliant corridor for heavy machinery import.
Secure B2B / Global Procurement Framework
In 2026, transactional safety for the African and Western markets is guaranteed by integrating three core pillars: direct OEM contracts, secure SWIFT/LC settlements via verified international banking hubs, and rigorous compliance documentation (Commercial Invoice, Packing List, SABS compliance checks). Our specialized B2B infrastructure is tailored for large-scale mining and civil engineering firms, ensuring absolute legal purity, anti-money laundering (AML) compliance, and a zero-risk environment for capital deployment. Systematic audit trails allow procurement officers to navigate customs protocols rapidly without bureaucratic delays.
«A drilling rig featuring a 50 kN thrusting capacity and the proven YN27 engine is the benchmark of autonomy for remote African sites. The staggering 9,800 N·m torque effortlessly manages hard bedrock formations where lighter machines simply stall. For uninterrupted B2B operations, we strongly advocate purchasing the rig bundled directly with a BW-series mud pump and genuine NQ/HQ core tooling»
