Engineered for Remote Exploration


As mineral exploration continues to move into increasingly remote environments, drilling contractors require equipment capable of reaching locations where conventional drill rigs become difficult and expensive to mobilize.


The CED SFM7200 has been developed specifically for these environments.

Its compact footprint and integrated 6x6 platform allow operators to:


  • Access remote exploration sites

  • Reduce mobilisation costs

  • Increase drilling productivity

  • Operate efficiently in challenging terrain

  • Minimise logistical support requirements


The result is a drilling system designed to maximise operational efficiency without compromising drilling performance.


The Proven CED 6x6 Platform


Every CED SFM7200 is built around CED's purpose-engineered 6x6 vehicle platform.


The platform delivers:


  • Outstanding off-road capability

  • Excellent weight distribution

  • Increased payload capacity

  • Superior traction across difficult terrain

  • Reliable performance in harsh environments


This combination enables exploration companies to reach projects faster while reducing dependence on heavy support equipment.
