Digger Product Specifications

Our diggers (planetary auger drives) are used heavily in the utility industry and are gaining popularity for their versatility in the construction industry. Construction users can attach our diggers to their excavators, backhoes and skid steers to quickly and easily dig a hole. This prevents contracting the job out or purchasing additional equipment.

If you don't see a product that meets your application specifications, please contact a member of our Technical Sales team.
