Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Auger Drive – 2.5–4.5T Excavators
High-Torque Auger Drive | Excavator Applications
Industrial-Grade Auger Drive for Mid-Size Excavators
The HFP 3500 Series Hydraulic Auger Drive is engineered for 2.5–4.5 tonne excavators, delivering substantially higher torque capacity for demanding drilling applications while maintaining smooth, controlled rotation and excellent hydraulic efficiency.
Designed for fencing, footings, tree planting, civil works, foundation drilling, and utility installations, the HFP3500 is ideal for operators who require greater auger diameter capability and consistent performance in tougher ground conditions.
Built for Australian conditions, this auger drive is well suited to contractors, hire fleets, councils, utilities, and OEM applications requiring a durable, serviceable auger solution for mid-size excavator platforms.
Functional Overview
Auger drives in this class must deliver higher torque without compromising control or hydraulic stability. The HFP3500 Series achieves this through a high-capacity hydraulic motor paired with an epicyclic gearbox, delivering reliable torque multiplication and stable drilling speeds across varied soil and ground conditions.
Its expanded auger diameter range allows a single drive unit to support a wide variety of applications without the need to change equipment.
