121 DRILLING SOLUTIONS - GAUTENG
We aim to provide both the public and specialized mining and agriculture industries with all-in-one drilling solutions.
OUR DRILLING MACHINES
Track Rig (Sammy)
The baby of the bunch. Tiny, tough, and always being shoved into the worst spots. If there’s a narrow alley or some ridiculous corner no one else wants to deal with, Sammy gets volunteered. If you ask nicely, it runs on a 21-bar compressor and can push to 200m.
– Size: 2.2m high | 1.85m wide | 5m long
– Weight: 6 tons of stubborn
Renault (Hettie)
The monster. When all hell breaks loose and the rest of the fleet calls in sick, Hettie rolls in. Double axels front and back—because overkill is the only kill that counts. And drills up to 350m without blinking. If you see this pulling up, you’re not messing around.
– Size: 4.5m high | 2.9m wide | 9.5m long
– Weight: A casual 28 tons
FAW (Marthinus)
The middle child with a chip on its shoulder. Marthinus can sneak into tight places but still wants to be taken seriously. Good on long driveways, better in the bush, and turns sharper than your last relationship. It runs with a 21-bar compressor and gets you 200m deep without throwing a tantrum.
– Size: 3.4m high | 2.75m wide | 7.5m long
– Weight: 12 tons of reliable attitude
Izuzu (Nova)
The mountain goat of the fleet. Nova doesn’t care if the road’s washed out, nonexistent, or pretending to be a river. Built on a 4×4 Isuzu and always accompanied by a 4×4 Samil with the compressor, this rig is what you send when Google Maps says “no access”. Wet, steep, or stupid terrain? Nova’s already halfway up it.
– Size: 3.5m high | 2.75m wide | 7m long
– Weight: 12 tons of pure stubborn grit
Powerstar (Sasha)
The heavy lifter with battlefield scars. Sasha’s seen things. This rig lives on the mines, tackles the big stuff, and doesn’t flinch. Always ready with medicals, safety files, and a “let’s get this over with” attitude. When you need serious depth and no drama, Sasha shows up. Drills to 350m without crying.
– Size: 4.3m high | 2.85m wide | 9m long
– Weight: 24 tons of get-it-done
