Hotshot Transport for Drilling & Exploration
A drill rig that stops for a missing rod, bit or spare is burning money by the hour, often in country a long way from the nearest supply. Exploration especially runs in remote places where nothing is close.
We keep rigs turning - running drill rods, bits, consumables and rig spares direct to the pad from Perth, day or night.

Keeping the rig turning
Drilling programs run to metres per shift, and a stopped rig doesn't just lose time - it can lose its place in a tight schedule. We move consumables and spares before the shortfall stops the job.
For remote exploration pads we plan the run around the access track and any station or lease conditions, delivering to the pad rather than the nearest town.
What we carry for drilling
- Drill rods and casing
- Bits, hammers and consumables
- Core trays and sample freight
- Rig spares and hydraulic components
- Fuel cells, tooling and camp freight
Remote pad access
Working off a station track or an unmarked lease? Give us the coordinates or a clear location and any access conditions, and we plan the run to reach the pad.
When site is down, time costs money.
Call our 24/7 dispatch and we'll have the right vehicle moving toward your site.
Backloading core and samples
We can plan the return leg too - bringing core trays and samples back to Perth or a lab so the trip works in both directions rather than running empty one way.

Drilling & Exploration freight FAQs
Yes. Give us the coordinates or a clear location plus any station, lease or track access conditions, and we plan the run to reach the actual pad rather than dropping freight at the nearest town.
We move the moment you call, and for long-haul remote sites we use 2UP to keep the vehicle running non-stop within fatigue rules. Dispatch gives you a realistic arrival window so you can plan around it rather than guessing.

Yes, dispatch is staffed 24/7. Rigs run around the clock, so if a spare or consumable frees up late we can load in Perth and start the run straight away.
We run from Perth across the Pilbara, Goldfields, Mid West and Murchison, including remote exploration country well off the highway. Give us the site and we plan the access.
Runs are quoted on distance, the vehicle the load needs and how urgent it is. Call dispatch with your pickup, the pad location and what you're moving for a fast quote.
