SIMCO® manufactures drill rigs for
customers all over
the world. These rigs
have a variety of
uses, including water
well, geothermal,
environmental, prob-
ing, pavement cor-
ing, and more. At
SIMCO®, their engi-
neers and field rep-
resentatives look at
all aspects of what it
takes to build, sell, and support a top-of-
the-line, dependable drill rig that does
what the customer bought it for.
SIMCO® began development of hy-
draulic drill rigs in 1969. The business was
quickly moved to a new facility in Osceola,
Iowa, as their first hydraulic auger rig, the
crawler-mounted 3000TR, began deliv-
eries. Soon, the model 2400SK, designed
to be mounted in a pickup or trailer, was
added to the product line. In the mid-70s
as hydrostatic pumps became available
to the market, the model 2800 HS was
added to SIMCO®’s line. The size and
power available to the rig gave added
capability in the form of mud rotary drilling.
The next development was the model
5000, a rig capable of drilling water wells
up to 1000 feet* deep.
The first ten years brought growth in
the size of the business and the range of
equipment offered, as well as advances in
available hydraulic components as
SIMCO® engineering continued to push
suppliers for more advances in technol-
ogy. Many of the early SIMCO® models
are still operating to this day.
SIMCO® was originally known as
Southern Iowa Manufacturing, Inc. In
1994, as the SIMCO® name became a
trademark, the company name was
changed to SIMCO® Drilling Equipment,
Inc. Their loyal customer base followed
them in their growth over the years, mak-
ing the company what it is today.
Today, SIMCO® has
a variety of designs
with advanced hy-
draulics available. The
SIMCO® 7000 & 2800
models are offered in
a high-torque geotech-
nical package or with
air/mud rotary options,
allowing for exception-
al versatility to the end
user. Each person at
SIMCO® takes great
pride in the quality of
their work, knowing that taking care of a
customer doesn’t stop after they buy the
drill. They realize everyone has different
needs, and they offer a list of services to
cater to almost any customer, whether it
be showing the new operator how to
utilize their drill or helping the veteran
with outstanding customer service.
SIMCO® employees are the strength
behind the brand and their workmanship
shows in the products they deliver.
