Drilling rig

Used and new drilling rigs: selection, delivery, and sales

A drilling rig - is a long-term capital investment. Some projects require the selection of a specific machine for justified conditions and drilling depth, others - the withdrawal of used equipment from the fleet with maximum benefit.
ILIEV Solutions works in both directions: selects and supplies new and used drilling rigs, and also helps clients sell their own equipment through verified channels in Ukraine and Europe.

Bauer drilling systems

Bauer - is the technical standard for work in complex hydrogeological conditions.

The BG series rigs (BG 18, BG 28, BG 36) cover a torque range from 180 to 360 kNm, which allows drilling in dense loams, water-saturated sands, and rocky inclusions without changing the base machine.The Kelly-bar design provides a depth of up to 90 m when working with a drilling auger or grab.

ILIEV Solutions maintains direct contact with Bauer - technical documentation and serial numbers confirm the factory origin of each machine.

Liebherr and XCMG drilling systems

The Liebherr LB series (LB 16, LB 25, LB 44) are distinguished by the durability of their drive components and a flexible working equipment system - one base carrier requires an auger, tubular Kelly, or double rotary drive.

For projects with requirements for machine cost, the XCMG XR series (XR 150E, XR 280E) demonstrates a competitive service life with lower operating costs.

We will select both brands either brand new or in the used equipment segment with a run of 1,200 engine hours or more - after a technical check and preparation of documents for customs clearance.

Tecniwell: equipment for injection work

Tecniwell (Italy) specializes in equipment for Jet Grouting and micropile work - segments where standard drilling machines do not meet the technology requirements.

The TW-100 and TW-200 series rigs are designed to work with injection pressures up to 400 bar and provide precise control of jet grouting parameters.

This is critical for strengthening the foundations of existing buildings and working in dense urban areas.

Deliveries of Tecniwell from Italy take 4-8 weeks depending on the machine configuration and availability in the factory warehouse.

How a drilling rig is selected for a project

Analysis of justified conditions and drilling depth

The selection of a drilling rig does not start with a catalog, but with a technical specification based on justified grounds.

Key parameters: type of ground (loam, sand, rock mass, bypass horizon), project depth of the well or pile, casing diameter, tension on a single pile.

Based on these data, the required torque, the class of the base machine, and compatible working equipment are determined.

When working on sites with limited height, the transport configuration and the possibility of working with a shortened mast are taken into account.

New vs used rigs: technical inspection

The choice between a new and a used rig depends on the duration of the project, the capitalization budget, and the availability of a service base.

A new Bauer BG 36 - means a full engine life, factory documentation, and up-to-date control system software.

A used Liebherr LB 25 rig with 2,500 engine hours after major service in an authorized center - is a real alternative at half the capital cost.
Technical inspection of used equipment includes:
  • VIN and serial number: verification in the manufacturer's database, notification of encumbrance records
  • Perkins, Cummins, or Liebherr engine life: cylinder endoscopy, compression
  • Hydraulic system condition: pressure in the lines, wear of seals
  • Technical passport and service book: continuous documented maintenance history
  • Mast geometry and guide condition: deviation over 3 mm requires factory repair

Selling your drilling rig through ILIEV Solutions

Removing a used drilling rig from the fleet - is a task no less complex than selecting it.The market for heavy special equipment is narrower: a buyer with a real need and a correct assessment of the machine rarely cross paths without an intermediary with an industry network.ILIEV Solutions acts as such an intermediary, with access to buyers in Ukraine, Romania, Moldova, Poland, and the Czech Republic.

The process of selling client equipment through ILIEV Solutions:
01
Technical assessment of the machine: analysis of condition, engine hours, completeness, and documents; determination of the real market value at the current moment
02
Preparation of the technical description: photo documentation, VIN verification, formation of a document package for the buyer
03
Placement in a verified network: the offer goes to qualified buyers who are already looking for equipment of this class, without public platforms with irrelevant traffic
04
Transaction support: consultation on customs clearance, logistics, and transfer of the technical passport depending on the buyer's jurisdiction
This approach reduces the sale time and eliminates the period when machines remain idle due to an incorrectly formulated offer.

Delivery of drilling equipment from Europe and Asia

Used and new drilling rigs come from Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, and through Asian channels - for XCMG and certain Tecniwell configurations.An oversized cargo of this class (95-130 tons in transport position) requires a separate transportation permit, route coordination with road services, and a specialized multi-axle trailer.

Customs clearance and documents in Ukraine

The import of a drilling rig into Ukraine is provided with a full set of customs documentation: invoice, specification, certificate of conformity, technical passport, VIN confirmation.
For Romania and Moldova - a separate package in accordance with EU requirements and ANSA regulations.
ILIEV Solutions has practical experience in registering crane and drilling equipment in three jurisdictions: UA, RO, MD, which reduces the time for commissioning the equipment and eliminates errors in the classification of the UKTZED customs code.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to choose a used drilling rig from Europe?

Determine the project depth and ground type, then compare the machine's torque with the technology requirements. A used rig is checked by VIN, engine hours, and service book.

Bauer, Liebherr, and XCMG have a documented service network in Poland and Germany - this requires verification.

What is the difference between new and used drilling equipment?

A new rig - means full resource, factory documentation, up-to-date software. Used - means lower capital costs with a preserved resource after service.

For short-term projects, used equipment with a documented maintenance history is a justified choice.

How long does the delivery of a rig from Poland take?

Delivery of a used rig from Poland or the Czech Republic to the Ukrainian border takes 2-4 weeks: search, technical inspection, paperwork, logistics.

New equipment from Bauer or Liebherr according to Munich or Hamburg - from 6 weeks depending on the configuration.

Are there original Bauer and Liebherr spare parts?

Yes. ILIEV Solutions supplies OEM spare parts for Bauer, Liebherr, Tecniwell, as well as engine components for Perkins, Cummins, Caterpillar with confirmation of factory production and accompanying documentation.

Delivery is made for a specific machine serial number.
