According to the introduction, the R-series rotary drilling rigs delivered to the UAE this time are specially built for complex geology and high-intensity construction scenarios. A single machine integrates four construction methods: Kelly drilling, casing follow-up, casing follow-up with casing oscillator, and CFA continuous flight auger drilling. Locally, it can adapt to the high-intensity operations of housing construction pile sites and can also be applied to the demanding mobility requirements of power tower pile construction in the heart of the desert, highly matching the needs of customers in the Middle East.

The Zoomlion ZR255R rotary drilling rig has core advantages such as multi-method adaptability, high efficiency and energy saving, intelligent control, and stable reliability. It is equipped with a high-torque power head that easily penetrates hard rock layers, with a maximum drilling diameter of 2 meters and a depth of over 60 meters; it adopts a high-efficiency engine that meets local emission standards, with power upgraded to 264 kW; and it is equipped with an intelligent control system that monitors construction data in real time and features five major construction assistance functions—one-key hole sweeping, one-key soil discharge, one-key oil supply to the casing oscillator, one-key rock entry, and centralized lubrication—greatly improving operational precision and efficiency. To address the harsh environment of high temperatures and sandstorms in the Middle East, Zoomlion has also equipped the rotary drilling rig with multiple protection systems to ensure stable all-weather operation.

A well-established localized layout has also driven the rapid expansion of Zoomlion's rotary drilling rigs in the local market and won the trust of more customers. In the UAE, Zoomlion has multiple service outlets and spare parts warehouses in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, and other locations, providing customers with comprehensive after-sales service support, operator training, and fast spare parts supply. The outstanding advantages brought by localization are highly praised by local customers.

"In terms of R&D, manufacturing, and service capabilities, we are advancing toward the goal of becoming a global expert in integrated foundation construction solutions. In the future, we will continue to enhance product strength and better meet the needs of global customers with smarter and greener solutions!" said Qiu Chunsheng, General Manager of Zoomlion's Foundation Construction Overseas Marketing Company.
