Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Auger Drive – 8–12T Excavators
High-Torque Auger Drive | Excavator Applications
Industrial-Grade Auger Drive for Heavy Excavator Drilling Applications
The HFP 8000 Series Hydraulic Auger Drive is engineered for 8–12 tonne excavators, delivering increased torque capacity and controlled rotational performance for demanding drilling applications across civil, agricultural, and infrastructure projects.
Designed for large-scale fencing, piling preparation, foundation drilling, tree planting, landscaping, and utility installations, the HFP8000 provides powerful ground penetration while maintaining smooth 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 larger excavator platforms.
Functional Overview
Auger drives in this class must deliver substantial torque while maintaining hydraulic stability and consistent rotational speed under load. The HFP8000 Series achieves this through a high-capacity hydraulic motor paired with a heavy-duty epicyclic gearbox, delivering reliable torque multiplication and controlled drilling performance across varied soil and ground conditions.
Its wide auger diameter capability allows a single drive unit to support multiple applications without frequent equipment changes.
