Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Auger Drive – 13–17T Excavators
Ultra High-Torque Auger Drive | Excavator Applications
Industrial-Grade Auger Drive for Large Excavator Drilling Applications
The HFP 12000 Series Hydraulic Auger Drive is engineered for 13–17 tonne excavators, delivering very high torque output and controlled rotational performance for demanding drilling applications across civil, infrastructure, and large-scale agricultural projects.
Designed for large-diameter footings, piling preparation, foundation drilling, bulk fencing, utilities, and infrastructure works, the HFP12000 provides exceptional ground penetration while maintaining stable hydraulic control and long service life.
Built for Australian conditions, this auger drive is ideally suited to contractors, hire fleets, councils, utilities, and OEM applications requiring a heavy-duty, serviceable auger solution for large excavator platforms.
Functional Overview
Auger drives in this class must deliver extreme torque while maintaining smooth rotation and hydraulic stability under continuous load. The HFP12000 Series achieves this through a high-capacity hydraulic motor paired with a heavy-duty epicyclic gearbox, providing reliable torque multiplication and controlled drilling performance across varied soil profiles and ground conditions.
Its ability to drive very large auger diameters allows a single drive unit to cover heavy civil and infrastructure applications without compromise.
