Little Beaver anchoring equipment
Little Beaver’s anchoring equipment allows installers to quickly secure utility towers to solid ground, which prevents towers from shifting or moving off footings during a storm or strong winds.
The equipment package includes an 11-horsepower hydraulic drill, a high-torque handle and an anchoring adapter and it can install each anchor in about a minute.
The drill’s compact body and portable hydraulic power pack make it easy to anchor in remote locations and cramped worksites. For instance, an all-terrain vehicle can transport the hydraulic drill and attachments. Other drills require using a carrier, such as a backhoe or skidsteer, to hold and power the drill, making it difficult to maneuver the carrier through narrow worksites. Rather than transporting a bulky air compressor or generator, Little Beaver’s unit is powered by a hydraulic power pack on a three-wheeled steel carriage. A Honda gas engine or Kohler diesel engine powers the pack’s hydraulic pump, providing the drill, or any other hydraulic hand tool, with a 6-gallon-per-minute hydraulic flow rate. Since the power pack is self-contained, there’s minimal risk of fuel and hydraulic oil leaks.
The drill maximizes productivity with its easy-to-use controls; simply move the positioning lever between forward, neutral or reverse. The reverse position makes removing anchors as easy as installing them.
