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.
