More great photos sent in last week from WA. A brand new Drillcorp Western Deephole Diamond Drill rig was being delivered to a Rio Tinto exploration site in the Pilbara.
From the description:
Apparently the driver stalled it on the hill....tried to do a hill-start....cocked it up and shunted the truck so hard it broke the chains holding the rig to the flatbed.....then the drill slid backward before falling off to the side !!! Brand Spankers !!!

I'm surprised the Tartra made it that far up there :)
It's not Drill Corp Western Deep anymore they got bought out by longyear a while back old pic or forgot to order their new stickers diamond drilling 4 life!
Looks a lot like a foraco logo on the truck
Is that Jeffo in photo 2
PJ loves these photo's they will never disappear....
haha. Foraco. I used to stall the Tatras a lot - they are a pig of a truck to drive.
Why does journalist muppet say it was a drillcorp rig? Clearly says foraco on drivers door
This was Faraco remember it well
