Excavator Auger Drill
Overview
The excavator auger converts an excavator into dedicated drilling equipment. A hydraulic motor drives the auger for soil drilling, widely used for foundation pile holes, afforestation, fence-post installation and geological sampling. Drilling diameter and depth ranges are wide to suit different ground conditions.
Features
- Cycloid hydraulic motor plus planetary reducer for high torque and stable speed
- Interchangeable augers and bits for 150-1200 mm hole diameters
- Optional auger extension for a maximum drilling depth of 10 m
- Soil-pressure sensing that alerts the operator in hard strata
Applications
Foundation pile hole drilling, power/telecom pole foundation drilling, large-hole afforestation, fence-post installation and shallow geological sampling.
Key Advantages
No dedicated drilling rig needed, reducing equipment investment; high drilling efficiency of 1-2 m per minute in soil; mobile and easy to relocate.
