INTRODUCTION
The PORTADRILLMINI drill is a rugged, highly portable air/water/mud
injection rotary drill, which has been designed to drill water wells (200 ft.) faster than any
other mini drill. The PORTADRILLMINI drill is the result of 10 years of practical
experience in confined and remote location water well drilling.
PORTADRILLMINI drill is a refined evolution of traditionally available
small scale drilling systems. The PORTADRILLMINI drill combines all of the
features necessary for rapid, cost effective well and borehole drilling under even the most
challenging conditions.
VERSATILITY
No two drilling projects are the same and you need the type of rig that will give
you the flexibility to customize your equipment to suit the specific needs of each drilling
operation. The PORTADRILLMINI drill comes with a host of features that make it
easy for you to get it right the first time every time.
Our three way air/water/mud injection system with independent control valves allows
you to pump various combinations of air, water or slurry into the well shaft to keep
drilling smoothly regardless of the type of earth you are drilling through.
Our patented pull down system allows the operator to adjust pull down pressure on
the fly for optimal drilling efficiency and bit life. This combination of weights,
springs, cables and pulleys is the most versatile and responsive pull down system
available on a portable rig.
Our selection of 6 and 7 HP engines lets you choose the right combination of power
and affordability to suit your specific drilling needs with a Hatz diesel unit as our
2004 model.

PORTABILITY
The compact rugged design of the PORTADRILLMINI drill makes it your ideal
choice for well drilling projects in areas that are currently inaccessible to conventional
drilling equipment.
The PORTADRILLMINI drill is capable of operating in any 3’x 4 ’ area with
9’ 2” feet of overhead clearance. For residential customers, this means that fences, roof
lines, trees and other obstacles will no longer be a limiting factor when choosing the ideal
location for their wells.For commercial customers, this means that wells can be placed
exactly where they are needed most, even if that location happens to be right in the
middle of a factory floor!
With the PORTADRILLMINI drill wells can be drilled close to the power
supplies and plumbing systems of the structures they are intended to serve, thereby
reducing overall project costs and giving engineers the freedom to place wells where they
are needed most rather than where they “fit the best”.
For remote drilling projects, the PORTADRILLMINI drill can be easily
disassembled and transported by truck, foot, helicopter, donkey, llama or whatever else
you have available and reassembled on location with a minimal set of hand tools. The
very small footprint of the PORTADRILLMINI drill makes it ideal for mountainous
terrain since you only need a 3’x 4’ level area to set up your rig and start.
SIMPLICITY
The PORTADRILLMINI drill is designed to be the simplest small rig on the
market to operate and maintain. The rig can be easily positioned and operated by a single
user under most conditions.
Moving the machine is as easy as tilting back the main mast and rolling it into
place on its heavy duty wheel system which is designed to move smoothly in most
operating conditions.
All of the controls on the PORTADRILLMINI drill are placed so that a single
user can effectively drill a well without assistance. Anyone in good physical condition
with a basic knowledge of drilling principles can operate this machine with minimal
training.
SERVICEABILITY
Years of practical experience have taught us that despite our best efforts,
sometimes things break. As a result, the PORTADRILLMINI drill has been designed
so that all critical components can be removed for service without having to move the rig
from its drilling site. We have also made every effort to ensure that critical components
are simple enough that they can be repaired or replaced with locally available parts in
most areas. Anybody who has every tried to do ANYTHING more than 50 miles from a
major city can easily appreciate that!

The engine and transmission of the PORTADRILLMINI Drill can be easily
removed for service or replacement without moving the drilling rig itself. This critical
feature has saved us countless hours of frustration in the field and it will help you to keep
your projects running smoothly even when your engine isn’t.
The pull down weight bar is designed to accommodate up to 250 lbs. of standard
size barbell weights that can be easily found in most parts of the world.
SPECIFICATIONS
The PORTADRILLMINI Drill unit is available with your choice of the HATZ
DIESEL 7 H.P. engine or a 6hp HONDA GASOLINE powered Units. Either way, your
new PORTADRILLMINI Drill will come equipped with the following features:
Heavy Duty Wheeled Base Platform:
The PORTADRILLMINI Drill is mounted on a heavy weight steel base
platform for enhanced drilling stability, greater operator comfort and increased mobility.
The heavy base lowers the machine’s overall center of gravity to help keep it stable
during drilling operations and drill pipe change-out. The added weight also keeps the
unit firmly planted when operating under heavy pull down pressure. The added height of
the base gives the drill operator a dry platform to stand on while drilling, keeping his feet
out of the way of drilling debris and water. The base unit also features a heavy duty
wheel system which is incorporated into the rear stabilizer rail for easy portability and
positioning of the unit.
Dual Water Deflector Shields:
The PORTADRILLMINI Drill is equipped with a set of stacked water deflector
shields, which keep drilling debris and water out of critical mechanical components and
off of the drill operator. This convenient feature dramatically extends the life of your
machine while providing superior operator comfort. The upper shield (which
incorporates the drill steel guide table) is easily replaceable should the need arise.

Three Way Air/Water/Mud Injection System:
The PORTADRILLMINI Drill features a three-way input valve, which allows
you to pump any combination of air, water or slurry down the drilling shaft with
adjustable flow rates. This ability to change your input mixture as you drill is critical to
extending the life of your drill and speeding up drilling operations. This particular valve
also gives you the ability to drill using foam injection methods.
Adjustable Mechanical Pull Down System
Weight Bar Pull Down Assist Mechanism:
The PORTADRILLMINI Drill is equipped with an engine cradle mounted
weight bar assembly. This particular feature allows you to add up to 250 lbs. of
additional weight to the engine cradle thus increasing constant pull down pressure and
significantly reducing drilling time. The amount of weight hanging from the bar can be
easily adjusted according to the needs of a particular job. Quick release bar locks keep
weights secure while allowing for easy change out when necessary. PORTADRILLMINI ® PATENT # 6,315,059
One of the most impressive features of the
PORTADRILLMINI Drill is its patented pull-down system.
The system integrates a series of cables, pulleys, springs and a
hand crank winch to provide smooth variable downward
pressure when drilling. The cables feature in-line turnbuckle
adjusters to equalize pressure on both sides of the unit and
eliminate slack in the system. The winch mechanism can be
locked in place once the desired down pressure is achieved,
allowing the spring to continue pulling even after cranking
stops. The winch also acts as a hoisting mechanism for easy
lifting of the engine and transmission assembly.
