A crawler-mounted, fully hydraulic auger drilling machine designed to install piles and foundations for solar power projects and other civil engineering applications.
Core components include the engine, motor and hydraulic pump, integrated into a fully hydraulic drive and control system.
The machine weight is 7,500 kg. Detailed transport and footprint dimensions are not listed here—contact the supplier for complete dimensional drawings and lifting points.
All main functions (rotation, crowd, boom, travel) are driven by hydraulic motors and valves. Benefits include smooth, controllable operation, high torque at low speeds, easier maintenance, and better performance under heavy loads.
The crawler undercarriage provides good mobility on uneven, soft or sloped ground typical of solar array sites, allowing access where wheeled machines might struggle. For extreme slopes or very soft ground consult the supplier for track options.
It uses auger drilling for pile installation — efficient for drilling holes for pile foundations commonly used in photovoltaic installations and utility poles.
Maximum diameters and depths depend on the chosen auger/drill string, soil conditions and machine configuration. The unit supports a wide range of auger sizes; contact the manufacturer with project soil reports for sizing guidance and performance estimates.
An engine is listed among the core components; fuel type and engine model vary by configuration. Diesel engines are commonly used — confirm exact engine model and fuel requirements with the supplier or in the technical datasheet.
The machine features user-friendly controls but requires a trained operator for safe, productive use. Suppliers typically offer operator training or manuals—ask about available training packages.
Routine maintenance includes daily checks (fluid levels, leaks, track condition), regular greasing of pins and bearings, hydraulic oil and filter changes per hours-of-use schedule, inspection and replacement of auger teeth, and periodic engine servicing. Follow the manufacturer maintenance manual for exact intervals.
Due to its 7,500 kg weight, transport is typically by flatbed truck; lifting points and securing requirements should be followed. The crawler allows self-positioning on site; initial setup time depends on site conditions and crew experience—ask the supplier for typical mobilization times.
Follow standard safety practices: use emergency stop controls, keep guards in place, conduct pre-start inspections, secure the machine on stable ground, wear appropriate PPE, ensure no personnel are in the swing/drill area, and operate only with trained staff. Refer to the machine’s safety manual for full requirements.
Yes. Consumables such as auger teeth, seals, hoses and hydraulic fittings are typically available. Custom options (different auger sizes, extensions, couplers, track types and hydraulic packages) are usually offered—discuss project requirements with the supplier.
Primary use is installing foundations for photovoltaic arrays. It is also suitable for renewable energy foundations, utility pole installation, wind turbine foundations (subject to size), and general piling/drilling in construction and civil engineering projects.
Warranty terms and after-sales support vary by manufacturer and dealer. Typical offerings include limited machine warranties and parts support; confirm warranty period, service network and spare-parts lead times with the seller before purchase.
