What is RAY hydraulic earth auger? And how do they work?

In the construction industry, it is important to keep up with the latest equipment and technology. Hydraulic construction equipment is a great example, allowing contractors to work more efficiently than ever before.

As a result, more and more contracting companies see the value in adding hydraulic excavation tools to their existing arsenal, but what exactly does that tool require? In this article, we will explain how a hydraulic auger works and how it can be a useful resource.

What is a Hydraulic Auger?

A hydraulic auger is a motorized drilling rig that uses fluid pressure to work. Hydraulic augers serve the same purpose as drilling machines, but with much more power and speed.

Some models can spin up to 19 rpm! Hydraulic augers are widely used in construction and excavation applications such as excavation, shafts and road works.

How does a hydraulic auger work?

Hydraulic drill bits work by converting hydraulic pressure into kinetic energy through the drill string. At each end of the hole, the rod is a piston connected to the inner piston rod. They are connected to hydraulic cylinders on the top and winches on the bottom.

The cylinder is filled with fluid that has been pressurized by a pump using a diesel or gasoline engine, LPG engine, electric motor, or any other power source. Hydraulic oil transmits power through the HPU (Hydraulic Power Unit) connected to the winch.

What the Advantages?

1).Motor Brand . We use Eaton motor from the USA, and the quality of it is relatively stable. Well, the current motor accuracy rate is up to 99.98%.

2). Gear Box.The gear box is made by ourselves with high precision, low noise, less worn out so have a long service life. And also, we will mark the serial number with every spare parts. When you meet some questions with spare parts in the future, we just need to know the serial number then we courier which you need as soon as possible.

3). Technology.Using shot blasting technology: smooth the surface of the product, It is more beautiful after painting. The most important thing is to remove internal stress and increase strength.

4).OEM Service.Well painting to meet clients’ requirements and enlarge the market quickly. Except normal oem service, we provide customized service. As long as you have any customized requirements, we can carefully record them according to your requirements, and our technical department will check the requirements with you and modify them repeatedly until your satisfactory requirements are met.Eg: To add welding wire, advertising pictures and so on.

5).Our auger drill uses shot blasting craft. This process not only ensures surface finish, but also prevents rust and prolongs life.Using shot blasting technology: smooth the surface of the product.It is more beautiful after painting. The most important thing is to remove internal stress and increase strength.

6).Package.We will carefully check the integrity of the goods before shipment. Each product will go through layers of packaging. Finally, it will be protected by a wooden box outsideThere is good packing to protect machine well when it arrive at customers’ warehouse. Hence, it can lead to less after-sales problems.

7).Supply System.We have excellent supply system.All raw material are from local famous steel mill.From selection, ordering to production. We have a strict management and supervision system for each layer. We are always committed to customer satisfaction.

The less impurity and stable element content can ensure the mechanical property. 

Test the raw material by the third party to ensure element content and mechanical tester, rockwell hardness tester to ensure the properties by ourselves.

What is the application？

Hydraulic augers are suitable for a variety of projects around the house, building, farm, ranch or garden:

Fences – Drilling through fences to create new gates is easy with the help of a hydraulic auger. With this tool, you can quickly and efficiently drill into the ground for fence posts or utility poles.

Foundation: When building a house, you must first lay the foundation. A hydraulic auger is a useful tool for this job as it helps create deep holes that are easy to fill with concrete or building materials.

Drainage – You can also use them to install drainage systems on driveways or sidewalks, gutters around homes and businesses, and custom septic tanks. Another popular use for hydraulic augers is drilling wells.

Gardening: Hydraulic augers can also make holes for trees and other plants in the garden. Not only does it work quickly, but its power helps make gardening a breeze.

Install Power Poles: Hydraulic augers can easily drill holes for power poles or signs that you need to install at heights, such as utility poles or street signs.
