Description
Professional JDL-280 Multipurpose Top Drive Drill Rig (280m)
The JDL-280 crawler-mounted drilling rig is a professional top-drive engineering solution specifically designed for deep water well drilling (up to 280m), core exploration, and geotechnical investigations. Targeted strictly at the B2B sector, this rig is highly demanded in the mining and infrastructure projects across the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The kinematic architecture delivers a phenomenal maximum torque of 9800 N·m and a hydraulic thrust capacity of 50 kN. This machine acts as a highly efficient and mobile alternative to heavy earthmoving equipment when operating in confined spaces or complex African topographies.
The core of the rig is powered by the proven industrial-grade YN27 (Yunnei) diesel engine, delivering 42 kW of reliable power. The multi-stage gearbox (10 forward speeds from 33 to 1120 rpm) ensures precision tuning for various geological formations, significantly reducing tool wear in hard rock. The platform is fully compatible with international NQ / HQ / PQ core pipe standards. For our corporate clients and international distributors, we provide direct access to manufacturing lines, ensuring full supply chain transparency. Every unit undergoes strict Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Positive Material Identification (PMI) prior to global dispatch, reinforcing our top-tier special machinery procurement standards.

Technical Documentation & Engineering Specs
All technical data is verified by FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) protocols. Each unit undergoes structural integrity validation to ensure full compliance with international heavy machinery standards prior to export.
Featuring exceptional maneuverability due to its crawler chassis (speeds up to 2 km/h, up to 30° gradeability), the JDL-280 is highly efficient in remote off-grid locations like the Katanga mining region. The capability to seamlessly integrate with high-capacity air compressors (16-35 m³/min) allows DTH (Down-The-Hole) hammer drilling operations in hard rock formations. Low CAPEX and high operational autonomy make it an investment-grade asset for large-scale contractors.
Executive Summary (JDL-280):
JDL-280 is a professional top-drive crawler drilling rig. Engine: YN27 (Yunnei, 42 kW). Thrust capacity: 50 kN, Max torque: 9800 N·m. Spindle rotation: 10 forward gears (33-1120 rpm). Winch capacity: 4.5 tons. Drill pipe compatibility: Ø50-89 mm, Coring standards: NQ / HQ / PQ. Mud pump integration: BW160, BW200, BW250. Operating weight: 4500 kg. Designed for deep water wells (up to 280m) and exploration.
To maintain consistent penetration rates and eliminate project delays, the timely replenishment of consumables is vital. We facilitate the global procurement of certified spare parts and components for heavy drilling machinery. All metallurgy-critical elements (drill bits, core barrels) pass mandatory PMI (Positive Material Identification) chemical composition checks prior to shipping, protecting our B2B clients from counterfeit materials.
B2B Supply Chain & Procurement Protocol
1. RFQ & Tech Specs
Finalizing specifications (BW pump selection, NQ/HQ drill pipes). Drafting a tailored configuration for your DRC project.
2. Contracting
Signing the international supply contract. Flexible B2B payment terms via SWIFT, Letter of Credit, or Escrow available.
3. Factory Audit
Conducting FAT in China. Verifying 9800 N·m torque output and testing 50 kN hydraulic lines under maximum load.
4. Global Logistics
Securing the rig for sea freight (4.6m transport length). Lashing on flat racks and issuing full-value maritime insurance.
5. African Delivery
CIF delivery to the Port of Matadi (DRC) or inland transport to Kinshasa/Lubumbashi. Full customs clearance support.
6. Commissioning
Handover at your facility. Verification of spare parts and operational guidelines for the YN27 engine and hydraulics.
With an operating weight of 4.5 tons, calculating accurate maritime and inland logistics is essential to prevent CAPEX overruns. Below is an estimated logistics breakdown for importing the JDL-280 rig into the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Logistics & CAPEX Calculator (JDL-280)
Supply Route: Factory (China) -> Port of Shanghai / Guangzhou -> Port of Matadi (DRC) -> Lubumbashi.
Sea Freight (CIF): Calculated individually based on current maritime rates.
Customs & Inland: Handled by local brokers; compliance documentation provided.
Note: Final CAPEX depends strictly on optional add-ons (e.g., NQ/HQ rods, DTH compressors, BW mud pumps) and real-time exchange rates. Prices are locked upon signing the international B2B contract.
Protecting our clients' capital is paramount in international procurement. We enforce strict compliance and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) standards, ensuring all financial transactions align strictly with our privacy policy and compliance protocols. This guarantees safe, transparent, and legally binding operations directly with Chinese manufacturing facilities.
Global Financial Compliance & Procurement
International payments are executed via secure SWIFT channels in USD or EUR through top-tier corresponding banks, effectively neutralizing cross-border financial risks. Full documentary compliance (Commercial Invoice, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin) allows your enterprise to legally register the JDL-280 rig as a corporate asset. Our technical compliance and direct factory auditing infrastructure in China shield international buyers from defective equipment and unreliable intermediary brokers.
«The JDL-280 engineering framework offers uncompromising power for African mining operations. The 9800 N·m torque, combined with a 33 rpm low gear, crushes through solid rock layers where lighter rigs fail. Crucial advice for procurement managers: Invest in high-grade HQ/PQ rods and do not compromise on the BW-series mud pump capacity. Only proper flushing will unlock 100% of this machine's potential in the DRC.»

Q&A: Operations & Procurement of JDL-280
Is the rig suitable for core drilling?
Yes, the installation fully supports international NQ, HQ, and PQ wireline core barrel standards, making it ideal for deep geological exploration in mining sectors.
How many spindle speeds does it have?
The multi-stage transmission provides 10 forward rotation gears (ranging from 33 to 1120 rpm) and 2 reverse speeds (37/180 rpm).
Which BW series mud pump is recommended?
Selection depends on well depth and diameter. The rig natively integrates with BW160, BW200, and the high-capacity BW250 mud pumps.
How does it perform off-road in Africa?
Equipped with heavy-duty steel crawlers, the JDL-280 has a maximum travel speed of 2 km/h and can negotiate rugged inclines up to 30 degrees.
Is the YN27 engine reliable?
The Yunnei YN27 (42 kW) is a globally recognized industrial diesel engine known for its mechanical simplicity, fuel tolerance, and ease of field maintenance.
What are the DTH air compressor requirements?
