Drilling & Exploration · Equipment Hire
High-pressure diesel compressors up to 35 bar, generators, lighting towers, and fuel solutions — for drilling and exploration operations across Australia.
Drilling and exploration operations demand the highest-performance compressed air available. Whether you’re running DTH drilling, top-hammer percussion, mud rotary, or geotechnical investigation, the compressor is the heart of the operation. PremiAir Hire operates Australia’s most extensive fleet of high-pressure diesel compressors — from standard 7 bar units through to 35+ bar specialist configurations — supported by generators, lighting, and fuel management for remote and demanding site conditions.
We supply the minerals exploration, water well drilling, geotechnical, oil and gas field, and civil drilling sectors with equipment maintained to the highest standards and delivered to sites across eastern and central Australia. Our transport fleet handles difficult access conditions, and our service team provides 24/7 support for drilling campaign continuity.
From a single compressor for a short exploration program to a fully equipped remote drilling site package including fuel management and accommodation power — PremiAir Hire provides the total drilling support solution.
Our fleet extends to 35+ bar — covering DTH, top-hammer, percussion, and specialist drilling applications that require outputs beyond standard hire company capabilities.
Heavy transport fleet including prime movers, B-doubles, crane trucks, and tilt trays for remote exploration and drilling site access across eastern Australia.
All compressors and generators in our drilling fleet are rated and maintained for continuous, high-duty-cycle operation — the demanding baseline of every drilling campaign.
Our PremiAir Fuels division provides bulk fuel delivery, portable fuel storage, and fuel trailers to eliminate the logistics complexity of remote drilling site refuelling.
Drilling campaigns can't afford downtime. Our mobile service team provides around-the-clock breakdown response, preventative maintenance, and spare unit deployment.
Project and campaign-based hire aligned to your drilling program schedule — with reserved fleet and dedicated account management for longer-term exploration contracts.
Up to 35 bar (500 psi) output for DTH drilling, top-hammer, rock bolting, and specialist downhole applications. The largest high-pressure fleet in Australia.
7 bar diesel compressors for mud rotary, sonic drilling, air-flush applications, and site pneumatic tools on exploration and geotechnical programs.
Trailer-mounted silenced generators for remote drill site power — powering ancillary equipment, site offices, accommodation, and lighting systems.
Towable LED and diesel lighting towers for extended drilling campaigns, night operations, and remote site illumination where grid power is unavailable.
Self-bunded bulk fuel storage tanks, portable fuel cells, and on-site diesel delivery to keep drilling operations running without interruption at remote locations.
General purpose and high-head pumps for drill water supply, site dewatering, mud sump management, and exploration site water transfer.
Our high-pressure compressor fleet includes units capable of 35 bar (500 psi) output, suitable for most DTH and top-hammer drilling applications. For ultra-high-pressure requirements, contact our team to discuss custom configurations.
