This 1989 Gefco Speedstar 30K is a used vertical drill rig — sometimes referred to as a rotary drill rig — designed for drilling deep boreholes into the earth. Vertical drill rigs of this type are widely used in water well drilling operations, where a rotating drill string is driven into the ground to reach subsurface water sources. Gefco, through its Speedstar line, is a well-established manufacturer of truck-mounted drilling equipment serving the water well, geothermal, and environmental drilling industries.
The rig is configured as a hydraulic top drive unit and is mounted on a 1989 Ford L8000 tandem axle truck. That carrier is powered by a CAT 3406B diesel engine rated at 425 horsepower and paired with a Roadranger 8LL transmission. The truck is reported to show 126,038 miles, though the seller notes this figure is unverified. The vehicle rides on Dayton wheels, carries a GVWR of 66,000 pounds, and is identified by VIN 1FDZY90X4KVA46255.
The drill rig itself is driven by a CAT 3408 deck engine producing 475 horsepower on diesel fuel. The mast is rated for a 30,000-pound capacity, and the main winch is rated at 25,000 pounds. A jib arm with a dedicated 6,000-pound winch is also fitted, providing additional lifting capability around the rig. Four leveling jacks are included to stabilize the unit during drilling operations.
Air supply is provided by a Sullair 900/300 air compressor that has been recently rebuilt, offering buyers a key drivetrain component in refreshed condition. Fluid injection is handled by a 4-cylinder Bean injection pump. The rig's serial number is 101375.
The pipe basket is sized to accommodate approximately 400 feet of 4.5-inch by 20-foot drill pipe, giving a practical indication of the operational depth capacity this rig can support. The unit is finished in white and red and is described by the seller as being in fair condition. It is located in Moab, Utah, and is offered as a single unit at $175,000.
