A truck-mounted crane usually features a knuckle-boom design, which breaks away from the conventional counterbalance-type design. … Unlike a counterbalanced crane, a truck-mounted knuckle boom crane is mounted at its base. From here, the necessary lifting force is generated to achieve lift.
Some drilling rigs are made to be mounted into the bed of a truck; this setup includes the mast, draw works, and mud pumps.
Truck-mounted drilling rigs are mobile units that are used in semi-level or uneven ground for drilling purposes that offer a quick set-up process. Heavy-duty truck-mounted drilling rigs can also be useful drilling in remote areas; the off-road capabilities often make the difference between making a site productive or dormant. They are utilized for extracting oil or natural gas by creating wells, but are also useful for geothermal drilling.
Many truck-mounted drilling rigs are capable of drilling up to 10,000 feet and can be equipped to operate in extreme climates like the Arctic or in desert conditions. They can also be equipped with hydraulic lifts to help stabilize the truck on uneven ground. At SA Mining Training and Operator we do offer this course with R5000 for 2 weeks.
