Orbit Drilling have chosen to mainly use their Toyota 6X6 Wheel Drive
Land cruisers with Diff Locks on all 3 axles. The use of these particular
Drilling Rigs has proven invaluable to the company because of their:
Low Environmental Impact
Able to drive
through all types of terrain, from Sand-dune landscapes
to Rocky Mountain sides through to Dense Forest
Floors with the minimum of Ground Clearing. The Six Wheel
drives offers Grater Stability to unstable grounds.
Compact and Versatile Drilling
Longer than
the normal Land cruiser Tray Backs, these vehicles
are able to carry mid-weight Drill Rigs complete with
100 metres of Drill Rods and other running equipment for
the differing types of drilling which Orbit Drilling undertakes.
Low Maintenance
Toyota Land
cruisers are widely used in the Mining Industry
and so replacements are easily accessible in all locations.
Orbit drilling has its own workshop and through the
company’s preventative maintenance regimes and inspections,
all vehicles and equipment are kept to optimal running
order.
