While many think of bucket trucks when they think of utility trucks; digger derricks play an important role in infrastructure and construction. A Digger derrick is a hydraulic powered auger which can create a hole up to 30 inches round and more 10 feet deep. Drill rigs can perform a variety of tasks including:
- digging holes for replacement telephone and cable poles
- lifting and setting new poles in place
- digging out stumps
- digging wells
- turning screw anchors
