Excavator Mounted Drill Rigs

Synergy Rigs India is among the excavator mounted drilling machine manufacturers based in Tiruchengode, Tamil Nadu, building excavator mounted drill rigs for piling, foundation, and compact borewell drilling on sites where a dedicated rig chassis isn’t practical.

What Is an Excavator Mounted Drill Rig?

An excavator mounted drill rig is a drilling or piling attachment fitted directly onto a standard excavator, such as a JCB, in place of the bucket. Rather than buying and maintaining a separate rig chassis, contractors who already run excavators can attach a drilling mast and power pack to equipment they already own and operate.

As an excavator mounted drilling machine manufacturer, Synergy Rigs India builds these attachments for piling, foundation drilling, and compact borewell work — see how this compares to a dedicated rig in our post on borewell drilling machines vs. piling machines.

Why Choose an Excavator Mounted Rig

Use Equipment You Already Own

No need to buy a dedicated rig chassis — the drilling attachment fits onto excavators already in your fleet.

Compact on Tight Sites

An excavator’s footprint and reach suit urban plots and confined construction sites better than a full-size rig.

Fast to Mobilize

Attach or remove the drilling mast without the transport and setup time a separate rig requires.

Suited to Piling & Shallow Borewells

Well matched to foundation piling and medium-depth borewell work rather than deep hard-rock drilling.

Where Excavator Mounted Drill Rigs Are Used

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an excavator mounted drill rig?

It’s a drilling or piling attachment mounted directly onto a standard excavator in place of the bucket, letting contractors drill or pile using equipment they already own.

Can any excavator be fitted with a drilling attachment?

Most mid-to-heavy excavators (including JCB-class machines) can be fitted, but the right attachment depends on the excavator’s weight class and hydraulic capacity — contact us with your machine’s specifications.

What is an excavator mounted rig used for?

Mainly foundation piling, drilling on tight or urban sites, and medium-depth borewell drilling where mobilizing a full-size rig isn’t practical.

How does it compare to a dedicated piling machine?

A dedicated piling rig offers more power and depth capacity; an excavator-mounted rig trades some of that for lower cost and faster mobilization on smaller jobs. See our full comparison in Borewell Drilling Machine vs. Piling Machine.

Do you manufacture custom excavator drilling attachments?

Yes. As an excavator mounted drilling machine manufacturer, we build attachments to match your excavator model and the drilling depth your project needs.
