To which machine can the D50 be connected?

The D50 can be connected to any machine with a hydraulic system of suitable parameters: Minimum hydraulic pressure: 200 bar Minimum hydraulic flow: 70 l/min Standard hydraulic quick couplers It is most commonly used with: Mini excavators — CAT, Kubota, etc. Wheel loaders — CATERPILLAR, VOLVO, KOMATSU, etc. Track loaders — various types Tractors — various types Please verify compatibility with your machine before purchasing.

What are the hydraulic requirements of the carrier machine?

Machine requires: Hydraulic pressure: minimum 200 bar Hydraulic flow: minimum 70 l/min Standard hydraulic quick-disconnect couplings No impurities in the oil — 10-micron filtration recommended If your machine has higher pressure or flow, it is not a problem — the D50 operates safely up to 280 bar.

Can the D50 handle the same job as the A70 or B80?

The D50 has a slightly lower torque (5,000 Nm vs. 7,000–8,000 Nm), but is still sufficient for drilling up to 2.5 m in normal conditions. Advantages of the D50: Lower price Lower weight No own engine — lower maintenance Easy operation, manual Disadvantages of the D50: Requires a carrier machine (cannot be operated independently) Lower downforce — not suitable for extra hard soils Choose the D50 if you have an excavator or loader and work with depths up to 2.5 m. Choose the A70 or B80 if you need a standalone machine.

Areas of Application

Installation of screws in existing structures

Since you already have an excavator or loader on site and need to install ground screws, the D50 easily connects without renting another machine.

Use of construction equipment on site

On construction sites where an excavator or loader is already available for excavation or material handling, the D50 becomes its drilling attachment. An economical solution.

Cost-effective solution for smaller suppliers

Small and medium-sized construction companies that do not have the capital to purchase a separate drilling machine can rent the D50 and attach it to their own machinery.

Confined space entry

The 480 kg weight allows installation on smaller construction equipment (skid-steer loader) that can fit into narrow alleys or gardens.

Equipment rental and sharing

Machinery rental companies can buy the D50 and rent it out together with the rental of the carrier machine.

Special applications and assemblies

Installation of ground screws into an existing construction plan without the need to order heavy machinery.
