The Sandvik DI650i is a diesel-powered crawler drill used for production drilling in open cut mining applications. The Leopard boasts 89-140mm drill rod options, a Caterpillar C15 engine and a 30bar working pressure compressor, while also being a relatively affordable piece of equipment.
Although the Sandvik Leopard DI650i and the Sandvik brand is growing to become one of Australia’s most popular drills, manufacturers of Sandvik spare parts seemingly aren’t.
While there’s a high demand for Sandvik parts and components, the manufacturing is struggling to meet growing OEM pressures which is where Rig Parts Australia comes in.

OEM Lead Times
At the time of publishing, it’s an 8 – 12 week wait time to order from Sandvik, with some parts experiencing extended delays beyond this.
Here’s one of many examples we are seeing across the mining industry…
A customer came to us recently after being advised that new tracks would be an 8 month wait via the manufacturer. Within 2 days our Rig Parts team had sourced tracks available in Perth, for an arrival onsite 48 hours after that.
A 4-day turnaround sure does beat waiting 8 months!
