Xiongtai XT-1200 Drilling Rig: Field Operation at 4,500m Altitude in Tanggula, Qinghai

The Tanggula region of Qinghai sits at an altitude of 4,500 meters, a harsh highland environment featuring frigid temperatures, oxygen shortage, strong winds and tough complex rock formations — a true test for drilling equipment.
Our Xiongtai XT-1200 hybrid drilling rig has started drilling operations here, delivering reliable and powerful performance under extreme plateau working conditions.

Adopting an oil-electric hybrid power system, the XT-1200 combines the high adaptability of diesel power with the energy-saving benefits of electric drive. Even under low air pressure on the plateau, its power unit maintains stable output, perfectly suited for hard rock exploration in Tanggula. The tracked chassis provides excellent terrain mobility, enabling flexible movement on muddy and undulating highland ground and simplifying site relocation.

Xiongtai XT series drilling rigs have been deployed in multiple projects across China, including mountain sites in Xinjiang, mining areas in Gansu and construction sites in Chengde, Hebei. Complete machine units and spare parts packages are also exported to overseas markets such as Mauritania, Africa.

Specialized in the R&D and manufacturing of geological exploration drilling equipment, Xiongtai Machinery supplies rigs for plateau exploration, mountain drilling and mineral prospecting.

Customers from home and abroad are warmly welcome to visit our factory for inspection and business discussions.
