MORI has developed the new S9 drilling rig to carry out environmental explorations and surveys. The little sister of the S11, it boasts smaller dimensions and a lower weight making it ideal for small-scale geological exploration holes in restricted spaces. The 3–cylinder diesel engine with its 40HP   coupled with the latest hydraulic system make it a drilling rig with exceptional performance.

The S9 can be equipped with variable or fixed track crawler, water pump, core ejection pump, auger-rod storage, SPT instrumentation and rotary head with hammer in the head.
