Schramm introduces new high-tech “FURY” drilling rig series

WEST CHESTER, PA, SEPTEMBER 26, 2016 – Schramm Inc., a world-class manufacturer of landbased hydraulic drilling rigs, is proud to announce the newest addition to its technologically advanced drilling rig family of products.  The new FURY series leverages the Schramm heritage of high mobility, rugged durability and power density to deliver a cutting-edge, configurable fit-for-purpose machine.

“This new rig series, including its name, was designed and developed with direct customer feedback to meet their ever-evolving needs today and as the industry ramps up activity in a continued low-price environment,” said Michael Dynan, Schramm’s Vice President of Portfolio and Strategy.

“From concept to iron, this rig series leverages our 116-year experience in design and innovation to showcase the very best Schramm has to offer. We look forward to putting the first FURY 130 machine to work with Thomas Drilling Inc, in the very near future.”

Feature highlights of this next-generation machine include electronic controls providing real-time hydraulic response, remote monitoring functionality, US EPA Tier 4 Final compliance, tight turning radius for improved mobility, and a tilting top drive to facilitate hands-free pipe handling. Additionally, the air and hydraulic power systems are decoupled, which provide significant fuel savings.   Customers working in mining applications that include large-diameter water management and exploration now have a new tool to drive value for their stakeholders.

“We sought to build a drilling rig to meet our needs for a safer, faster and more cost-competitive machine than what’s on the market today,” said Tyson Thomas, President of Thomas Drilling. “Schramm is a recognized leader in innovation, and with their advanced manufacturing, assembly and testing facility located in Pennsylvania, Schramm has been the ideal partner to ensure optimal quality control and on-time delivery.  We are extremely pleased with Fury and know our customers will be as well.

The FURY 130 will be on display at MINExpo2016 in Las Vegas September 26-28, in Silver Lot, booth #17100.
