Many think of bucket trucks when they think of utility trucks. Did you know that digger derricks play an important role in infrastructure and construction too? 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 wide 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
No matter who manufactured your digger derrick or drill rig; you need a dependable source of replacement auger parts such as
- auger heads
- auger teeth
- auger bits
- auger shank plates
- auger hubs and adapters
With the correct parts your drill rig should last a long time and keep chewing through anything from regular soil to solid rock. We also carry a wide range of mission critical digger derrick accessories such as:
- Tiiger Pole Pullers and Accessories
- DICA Outrigger pads
- Manuals
- Nylaflow tubing
- Upper Control Valve Rebuild
- Truck Lighting
