Drilling rigs from China: HDD prices and specification gaps

For horizontal directional drilling, compare pullback force, bore length and rotary torque separately before comparing prices. Below are exact HDD catalogue models, followed by the broader drilling-rig list. Prices are for the listed machine, with freight and the project package to be quoted separately.

HDD price: 450 kN, 680 kN or a 500 m listing?

kN describes force; metres describe a distance. A 500 m bore entry does not establish pullback force or guarantee a 500 m crossing on your site. These three listings are not a like-for-like performance ranking.

The catalogue does not establish a complete project package. Confirm rods, reamers, locating equipment, drilling-fluid equipment, tooling, ground conditions, pipe diameter, commissioning and transport in a written itemised offer. A price shared by two models does not make them interchangeable. The broader list below also includes rigs for other drilling processes.

  1. State the required crossing length, pipe outside diameter, geology and site constraints.
  2. Confirm pullback, thrust, rotary torque, rod capacity and the proposed bore plan for this exact model.
  3. Itemise rods, reamers, locator, mud system, tooling, commissioning and freight; state exclusions and the named FOB port.

Questions buyers ask

Does 500 m in an HDD listing establish its pullback force?

No. Bore length is a distance and pullback is a force. A stated bore length cannot supply a missing kN rating, rotary torque or a project-specific crossing guarantee.

Is the HDD price a complete drilling project budget?

No. The listed machine price does not establish which rods, tooling, locator, mud system, commissioning or transport are included. Request an itemised scope for the exact model and bore plan.
