Everything you need to know about Hydraulic Auger 12" Flight (300mm) hire
Description
The Hydraulic Drive & Auger attachment is designed for use with 1.5-tonne mini excavators and compact diggers, providing a fast, efficient way to drill clean, accurately positioned holes in the ground.
Powered directly from the excavator's auxiliary hydraulic circuit, the auger uses a heavy-duty rotating flight to bore into the ground and remove spoil as it drills. It is ideal for fencing, tree planting, landscaping, foundations, groundworks, drainage and other applications requiring repeated post or earth holes.
Compared with manual post-hole digging, a hydraulic auger can significantly reduce labour and drilling time, making it particularly useful where a large number of holes are required.
Specification
| Specification | Typical figure |
|---|---|
| Suitable excavator | Approx. 1.5–3 tonne |
| Hydraulic flow | Approx. 27–65 L/min |
| Operating pressure | Approx. 70–240 bar |
| Speed | Approx. 36–87 rpm |
| Maximum torque | Up to approx. 2,847 Nm |
| Output shaft | 65 mm round |
| Drive unit width | Approx. 200 mm |
| Drive unit height | Approx. 585 mm |
| Drive unit weight | Approx. 48 kg |
| Typical auger diameters | 100–450 mm+ |
| Hydraulic connection | Excavator auxiliary hydraulics |
| Mounting | Excavator hitch / pin-mounted bracket |
For example, the Auger Torque X2500 system commonly specified for 1.5–2.8T excavators operates at 27–65 L/min, 70–240 bar, 36–87 rpm and up to 2,847 Nm torque. Other systems have different operating ranges, so the supplied attachment should always be matched to the excavator's actual auxiliary flow and pressure.
