Built Around the Proven CED 6x6 Platform


The CED SFM7600 is mounted on CED's purpose-built 6x6 vehicle platform, providing exceptional mobility across difficult terrain.


The platform delivers:


  • Outstanding off-road capability

  • High payload capacity

  • Superior traction

  • Excellent weight distribution

  • Reliable performance in remote environments

  • Rapid mobilisation between drill sites


This allows exploration teams to maintain efficient logistical support regardless of project location.


Supporting Every Stage of Exploration


The SFM7600 has been designed to carry the equipment that keeps drilling operations productive.


Depending on customer requirements, the vehicle can be configured to transport:


  • Water tanks

  • Diesel tanks

  • Air compressors

  • Drill rods

  • Drilling consumables

  • Toolboxes

  • Spare parts

  • Hydraulic equipment

  • Pumps

  • General exploration equipment


Every project is different, and the SFM7600 can be customised to suit individual operational requirements.

A Flexible Platform for Mining Operations


The CED SFM7600 is far more than a standard support vehicle.Its modular design allows mining companies and drilling contractors to configure the platform for multiple operational roles, including:


  • Drill support vehicle

  • Fuel service vehicle

  • Water supply vehicle

  • Compressor carrier

  • Maintenance vehicle

  • Consumables transport

  • Field service vehicle


This versatility reduces the number of specialised vehicles required on site while improving operational efficiency.


Built for Remote Mining Projects


Modern exploration programmes frequently operate in isolated regions where access to equipment and supplies can determine project success.


The CED SFM7600 has been developed to support operations across:


  • Gold exploration

  • Copper exploration

  • Lithium exploration

  • Critical minerals

  • Rare earth exploration

  • Base metal projects

  • Greenfield exploration

  • Mine development


Its exceptional mobility enables support crews to reach drilling locations quickly while carrying the equipment needed to keep drilling operations running.
