LYXY-3 Wheel Mechanical Gearbox Water Well Drilling Rig
The LYXY-3 is a mature wheel-mounted water well drilling rig for 300m to 530m borehole projects. It has been produced for more than ten years and has performed well in African water well drilling. Rotation is driven by a mechanical gearbox, not a hydraulic motor, while the hydraulic chuck and hydraulic assistance make operation practical for field contractors.
Mechanical Rotation, Not Hydraulic Motor Rotation
The LYXY-3 belongs in the 200m-600m water well rig category because it is a larger deep-well machine, but its rotation is mechanical gearbox driven. This is important for buyers comparing it with full hydraulic rotary rigs.
The advantage is a mature, field-serviceable structure that many African contractors already understand.
Proven Old Model for Water Well Contractors
This model has been in production for more than ten years and is still used in African farm irrigation, village water supply and borehole contractor projects. It is practical when road transfer and mechanical maintenance are more important than a modern hydraulic motor rotary system.

Best-Fit Water Well Projects
African Rural Water Wells
Suitable for contractors drilling farm irrigation wells and village water supply boreholes where simple service is important.
Road-to-Site Transfer
The wheel-mounted layout is practical when jobsites are connected by passable rural roads and transport cost matters.
Deep Mud Drilling
With the optional BW-250 mud pump, the rig can support deeper mud drilling work under suitable formations.

LYXY-3 FAQ
Is LYXY-3 a full hydraulic drilling rig?
No. LYXY-3 uses mechanical rotary gearbox rotation. It has hydraulic chuck and hydraulic assistance, but it is not a hydraulic motor rotary rig.
Why is this old model still useful?
Because the structure is mature, practical and easier for many field teams to understand. It has been used in Africa for many years and remains suitable for water well contractors.
What is the drilling depth?
The rated drilling depth is 530m. Actual performance depends on borehole diameter, formation, mud pump, drill pipe and operator setup.
Who should choose this model?
Choose LYXY-3 when you need a wheel-mounted deep water well rig, mechanical gearbox rotation and practical maintenance for rural or contractor projects.
