Handheld Torque Head

The 400H handheld hydraulic anchor driver is designed for efficient installation in confined and restricted environments. Operating via a separate powerpack, it features a telescopic torque arm and a compact, lightweight design—making it ideal for sites with limited access or installations close to existing structures.

The hydraulic system allows for continuous operation with a reversible motor, while a calibrated gauge provides instant torque readouts for accurate installation. With a maximum capacity of 180kN, it delivers reliable performance across a wide range of applications.

The remote powerpack ensures quieter operation, making it well-suited for noise-sensitive environments. Additionally, the system produces no hand-arm vibration during use, improving operator safety and comfort.

Handheld Percussion Driving / Loading Equipment

We offer a comprehensive range of handheld percussion driving and loading equipment for the installation of Vulcan Earth Anchors (AS-01 [1kN] to AS-90 [90kN]) and Anchor Posts.

Each unit is engineered to be as lightweight as possible without compromising performance, ensuring ease of handling and efficient installation across a variety of site conditions. This approach allows operators to install anchoring systems quickly, even in challenging or remote environments.

Our equipment is designed to perform reliably across a wide range of ground conditions, from soft soils to more compacted materials. Its versatility allows installers to adapt quickly on site without the need for multiple systems or complex setup changes—improving installation speed and reducing downtime where access, time, and efficiency are critical.

Trundle Pack

To maximise efficiency on site, we have developed the Trundle Pack—an all-in-one installation solution that brings together essential equipment on a single, easy-to-manoeuvre trolley.

Designed for rough terrain and sites with poor access, the Trundle Pack reduces the need for multiple trips to and from vehicles, improving productivity and reducing manual handling.

Key Features:

  • All-in-one installation system

  • Easy-start powerpack

  • Integrated lift points for safe handling in and out of vehicles

  • Powerful yet lightweight design

  • Compact footprint for restricted areas

  • Uses unleaded fuel (no need for 2-stroke mixing)

  • Reliable and robust for demanding environments

  • Anti-vibration breaker for improved operator comfort

  • Suitable for installing AS-05 to AS-90 anchors

Machine Mounted

For installations above 90kN, machine-mounted equipment is required to ensure safe and effective installation. Our heavy-duty anchoring systems (90kN to 450kN capacity) are typically installed using excavators up to 15 tonnes, fitted with the appropriate attachments.

We supply a range of compatible equipment, including adaptor pots (up to 110mm breaker points), drive adaptors, and drive extensions. Machine-mounted installation is also recommended for high-volume projects, regardless of anchor size, where speed and efficiency are critical.
