Terex Utilities introduced a new Spin Bottom Drill Bucket for use with digger derricks. It is designed to improve productivity when drilling in unstable ground conditions, such as wet or sandy environments.
As the tool drills into the ground, barrel teeth cut through the material while the bucket captures it, allowing the operator to dump the material outside the hole. The spin bottom is simple to control with forward and reverse motions to open and close the tool. While Terex Utilities has offered similar tools for auger drills, this is the first time this type of tool has been available for digger derricks.
