Surface drilling rigs are specialized machines used in the mining and
construction industries for extracting minerals and creating boreholes. They
operate on the earth's surface to drill into the ground and extract core
samples or install various types of wells. These rigs are equipped with
drilling equipment, including a drill bit, drill string, and hoisting system.
Surface drilling rigs can be categorized into different types based on their
mobility, such as truck-mounted, crawler-mounted, or trailer-mounted rigs. They
play a crucial role in resource exploration, geotechnical investigations, and
construction projects.
