Hydraulic Auger for 1.5T Excavator hire

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.

Typical Applications

• Fence and gate post holes
• Tree and hedge planting
• Landscaping and groundworks
• Foundation and footing preparation
• Sign and bollard installation
• Drainage and utility work
• Agricultural and estate work
• General earth boring
• Repetitive post-hole drilling

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.
