Everything a Drilling Programme Needs, in One Place

01

SFM Series

One Platform. Six Ways to Get the Job Done.

The CED SFM Series is a modular drilling and exploration support system built on the CED 6x6 Land Cruiser platform, engineered and manufactured in South Africa. Six configurations, SFM7200 through SFMTS, cover surface core drilling, RC, air core, auger, water well, underground drilling, and field logistics, all sharing one platform your crew can actually learn to maintain.

The Drilling We Do

Not Just the Rig. The Whole Job.

Surface Core · Underground Core · RC · Air Core · Auger · Water Well

Every drilling type page follows the same path: what CED can do, the rig built for it, the consumables that keep it running, and the people behind it.

03

Contract Drilling

More Than Equipment

A rig doesn't run itself. CED can supply the crews, supervisors, and operational management to run your drilling programme, on CED equipment or on equipment you already own.

04

Equipment & Consumables

Everything That Keeps a Rig Running

Drill rods, bits, reaming shells, RC and air core consumables, drilling fluids, compressors, tooling, spare parts. Every product is warrantied, backed by 24/7 after-sales support, and shipped by air or sea depending on how fast you need it on site.

Exploration Drilling. Equipment. People. Support.

CED designs and supplies drilling equipment, keeps it running with the right consumables and spares, and puts experienced crews and technical support behind it, so your drilling programme doesn't stop the moment something breaks 400km from the nearest town.
