This Franks 6J3 is a used vertical drill, a type of drilling rig used for boring into the ground across applications such as oil and gas well development and workover operations. Vertical drills of this kind are also commonly referred to as drilling rigs or well drills.
This particular unit has been converted from its original drilling configuration to swabbing duty, a common field conversion that repurposes the rig's mast, drawworks, and power system for well dewatering and production operations rather than new-hole drilling. Buyers sourcing equipment specifically for swabbing work will find the rig already adapted for that purpose.
Power is provided by a Detroit Diesel V8 engine. Detroit Diesel is a well-established manufacturer of heavy-duty diesel engines with a long history of use in oilfield equipment, marine applications, and large commercial vehicles, and their V8 units have been widely used in drilling and workover rigs of this class.
The rig features a 55-foot mast, which governs the maximum stand or pipe length that can be handled during swabbing runs. The unit measures 8 by 4 by 4, reflecting the overall footprint or transport dimensions of the assembled rig.
This used vertical drill is located in California, USA, and is offered at $10,000.
