Powerful rigs Boyles rigs are powerful and yet easy to operate. They have a feed system that further improves the high productivity that has become a key characteristic of the Boyles rigs.
Ergonomic and user-friendly
The work environment around the rig has been carefully considered during development. All major components are located to allow easy access during maintenance.
High-altitude capability
The rig maintains its strong power at high altitude, without the need for an additional high-altitude kit. The whole hydraulic system is optimized to reduce the effects of low air pressure in high altitude regions.
