No horizontal drilling rigs are listed for rent in India today. The India site has only just re-opened, so stock is still to come. Suppliers can list a rig for free, and contractors can post a request to be contacted.
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) installs pipes and cables under roads, railways, canals and rivers without opening the surface. The usual hirers are telecom and fibre contractors, gas and water utilities and pipeline firms. On EquipmentsFinder, suppliers list their own rigs and renters deal with them directly by phone or WhatsApp. Renters pay the platform nothing and no commission is taken.
Pullback force has to exceed the drag of the pipe being pulled in, and that depends on diameter, length and ground. A rig that is too small can stall mid-bore, which is costly to recover. Share the pipe material, diameter and bore length with the supplier and ask what the rig is rated for. Soil type matters too: clay, sand and rock each call for different tooling and drilling fluid.
A utility crossing is short and often in a congested street, so a compact rig and a small crew are the priority. A pipeline installation can mean many bores in sequence over weeks, where fluid recycling and a dependable support crew count as much as the rig. State which one you have.
No rates are shown, since no rigs are listed. Suppliers price in INR, and a quote usually depends on the rig size, crew, drilling fluid and transport. Ask whether GST is added.
Rigs are carried on trailers, so a supplier need not be in your city. Listings will be reachable from the pages for Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad. Buyers can see horizontal drilling rigs for sale.
Send a request with the location, pipe diameter, bore length, ground conditions and dates. Open requests are on the inquiry board, and other categories on the rent hub.
No rigs are listed yet, so no rate can be quoted. Suppliers set INR rates by rig size, crew, fluid and transport. Post a request to compare quotes.
Work from the pipe: material, diameter and length of the bore. Pullback force and torque must exceed the load, and the tooling must suit the soil. Give those details and the supplier can recommend a size.
This varies by supplier. Many rigs go out with a crew, but it is stated on the listing or confirmed when you contact the supplier. Operators need a valid licence for the machine class.
A single day is unlikely to be practical, since moving and setting up the rig takes time. Ask the supplier for a minimum period and what it covers.
There is no fixed radius. Each supplier decides how far it will move a rig and charges accordingly. This is stated on the listing or when you enquire.
Use the Post an Ad page. Listing is free, and renters contact you through the phone and WhatsApp details on the listing.
