Solar Pole-Hole Drill
Pole and helical-pile drilling attachment for solar fields.
Excavator-mounted DTH attachment for solar-field anchor installation. Drills 6″–20″ pole-holes on a long-crawler Ground Hog base. Helical piles and micropiles work well under both compression (panel weight) and tension (wind and ground movement) - making the rig well-suited to solar-array foundations. Mast tilts on the Y-axis for vertical and angled piles.
