Safety rules and inspections

Dealers point to machine safety requirements and operator licensing as the main areas of regulation for drilling machinery, so ask the seller which documents come with the rig. In Western Australia, inspections of land-based drilling rigs exist to show the lease or licence holder that the rig is in good condition and has been regularly maintained, so ask for the service history in writing. Water bores have their own minimum construction requirements, which matters if the rig is for a bore.

Warranty: what to check

Standard manufacturer warranties for rotary and deep-hole rigs often run for 12 months, or for a set number of engine hours, such as 6,000 hours on some deep-hole models, whichever comes first. Warranties usually do not cover misuse, overloading, negligence or corrosion, so keep the maintenance records. Ask whether the remaining warranty transfers if you buy a used rig.

Season and timing

Spring has just started in October. The climate note for Australia gives summer as December to February and winter as June to August, so if you need a rig before summer, request offers now, since moving a heavy machine between cities takes planning.

What to write in your request

Say whether you want to buy or rent, the drilling purpose, and the depth in metres and hole diameter in millimetres, for example 150 m for a water bore or 600 m for a larger project. Add the condition you accept, the chassis (tracked, truck-mounted or wheeled), the year, the engine power in kW or hp, and your budget in A$. Name the city where the rig must be delivered, because heavy rigs travel by truck between Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. Ask whether delivery is included in the offer.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. You describe the rig in your own words in a chat and can add a photo. The service reads the request, asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Australia, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own price, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them.
