Overview

FR45 Compact Rotary Drilling Rig

The FR45 Small Kelly Rig is a compact and highly capable drilling solution designed for foundation and piling applications where transport efficiency, restricted access, and fast mobilisation are critical. Engineered with a lightweight and compact structure, the FR45 is ideal for low-headroom environments, confined job sites, and projects requiring rapid setup with minimal site preparation. Delivered fully assembled and ready for immediate operation, the rig helps reduce downtime while improving on-site productivity.

The FR45 offers reliable performance, operational stability, and multiple integrated safety protection systems for demanding construction environments. Manufactured in Asia for cost and delivery efficiency to Australia, the machine is supplied fully assembled and backed by a 12-month / 2,000-hour warranty.
