Exceptional Versatility for Your Excavating & Drilling Needs

Solaris Attachments understands the diverse requirements of excavating professionals. Whether you’re involved in construction, landscaping, or any application that demands efficient digging and drilling, our Auger Torque Drives offer the versatility you need. Here’s what makes them stand out:

1. Wide Excavator Range: The 11000-40, 11000-45, 15000-45, and 18500-45 models are specifically designed to accommodate excavators with a weight range from 8 metric tons to 22 MT (17,500 – 50,000 lbs.). This flexibility ensures that you can find the perfect fit for your machinery.

2. Built to Last: Our Auger Drives are extra-engineered, meaning they are designed with durability in mind. You can trust that these products are built to withstand the rigors of demanding excavation work, providing long-lasting performance.

3. Optional 2-Way Valve: For added functionality, consider the optional 2-Way Valve, available for this series of Auger Drives. This feature allows you to convert a single-acting hammer circuit into a 2-way auxiliary flow, expanding the capabilities of your excavator.

4. Pressure Relief Valve (For 15000-45 and 18500-45): To safeguard your investment further, Auger Drives 15000-45 and 18500-45 offer an optional Pressure Relief Valve. This valve protects the hydraulic motor from back pressure and hydraulic pressure spikes, prolonging the lifespan of your equipment.

5. High-Quality Hoses and Couplers: We understand the importance of reliable hydraulic connections. That’s why our Auger Drives come standard with high-quality couplers. (Please note that the 15000-45 and 18500-45 models do not include couplers, and the type and size must be specified at the time of purchase.)

Solaris-Auger Torque’s Auger Drives are built to the most exacting standards using only high-quality materials and the latest manufacturing techniques available.

FORGED HOOD EARS

Standard with all auger drives in areas that we know will take a lot of strain. All hood pins are locked for extra safety making it impossible for the hood to detach from your hitch.

EPICYCLIC GEARBOX

Torque is amplified by using the unique Solaris-Auger Torque planetary gearbox. This system allows the motor’s output torque to be multiplied with extreme efficiency as well as ensuring the durability and reliability you need.

NON-DISLODGEMENT SHAFT

Unique to Solaris-Auger Torque, the Non-Dislodgement Shaft is a single-piece drive shaft assembled top down and locked into the auger drives housing. This design guarantees that the shaft will never fall out, making for a safer work environment, not only for the operator but also any surrounding workers, a MUST-HAVE FEATURE for any safety-conscious company.

HIGH-QUALITY HYDRAULIC MOTORS

Solaris-Auger Torque’s huge buying power means we work closely with high-quality suppliers to develop the most reliable attachments available on the market today.

HOSES AND ADAPTORS

All auger drives come standard with high-quality hoses and adaptors (excludes larger units. QRC’s not included).

An Auger Drive is a heavy-duty attachment designed to be used with excavators for efficient digging and drilling operations. It provides the necessary power and precision to bore holes or excavate soil and other materials.

12. Is an Auger Better than a Post Hole Digger?

While both Augers and Post Hole Diggers serve similar purposes, Augers are often preferred for their versatility and ability to handle a wider range of digging and drilling tasks. Augers are suitable for various ground conditions and can be used for tasks beyond just digging post holes.

13. Is an Auger Worth it?

The worthiness of an Auger depends on your specific excavation needs. If you require efficient and precise digging or drilling operations, especially for larger projects or in challenging terrains, investing in a high-quality Auger can significantly improve productivity and save time, making it a worthwhile investment.

14. What is the difference between a Post Digger and an Auger?

The primary difference between a Post Hole Digger and an Auger is their versatility and range of applications. A Post Hole Digger is typically designed for digging holes for fence posts and is limited in its use. In contrast, an Auger is a more versatile attachment that can handle various tasks, including drilling holes for various purposes, such as planting trees, installing utility poles, or creating foundation holes. Augers are also suitable for different soil types and terrains, making them a more versatile choice for excavation needs.
