Modern mineral exploration demands more than high-performance drilling rigs. Success depends on having the right support equipment in the right place at the right time.


The CED SFMTS (Support Field Modular Trailer System) has been engineered to provide mining companies and drilling contractors with a highly adaptable support trailer capable of meeting the unique requirements of virtually any exploration programme.


Designed to work alongside the CED SFM Series or as a standalone support unit, the SFMTS delivers exceptional flexibility, helping drilling teams stay organised, productive, and operational in remote environments.


Designed Around Your Operation


No two exploration projects are the same.Some require additional drilling consumables, while others need mobile air compressors, fuel storage, water tanks, maintenance equipment, or specialised tooling.


The CED SFMTS has been developed with a modular design that allows every trailer to be configured around the customer's operational requirements.


Whether supporting a single drill rig or a large multi-rig campaign, the SFMTS can be customised to maximise efficiency.
