McLaughlin is expanding and updating its auger boring portfolio with the introduction of new auger boring machine models developed to help contractors efficiently perform large diameter bores in a variety of conditions.
- Provides thrust and torque for installing casings ranging from 4 inches to 24 inches in diameter
- Equipped with a 24.6 horsepower (18.3 kW) Caterpillar 3-cylinder Tier 4 diesel engine for quiet and clean operation
- Features a Patented Operator Presence Control (OPC) hydraulic clutch to help reduce spinback and the risk of machine rollover
- Incorporate rectangular steel tubing, thick vertical rails and strategic placement of cross members to provide stability and a smooth surface
- Repositioned gauges, ignition switch and engine indicators so they are in a shielded and centralized area for easy access and operation.
- Capable of installing casings from 16 inches to 42 inches in diameter, the WH 175 auger boring machine offers smooth, clean and quiet operation
- Equipped with a remote control so operators can run the auger boring machine from anywhere on the jobsite.
- Comes with the McLaughlin Rabbit Travel feature that helps speed up cycle times when adding casing or augers.
- Developed specifically to perform long large diameter casing installations for power, communications, water/sewer and pipeline projects It’s powered by a 214 horsepower (159.6 kW) Volvo Tier 4 compliant diesel engine and is equipped with a 5-inch (12.7-cm) hex auger that drives 1.2 million pounds (544,310.8 kg) of thrust and 126,000 foot-pounds (170,833.1 joules) of torque for big bore applications ranging from 16 inches to 72 inches (40.6 cm to 182.9 cm) in diameter.
- Wireless remote control that allows the operator to be out of the pit while boring
- Designed to navigate through solid and severely fractured rock conditions. The SRS will operate in rock from 3,000 psi to 25,000 psi (206.8 bar to 1723.7 bar). It uses disc cutters to break up solid rock and rock picks to pull any remaining fractured rock from the bore path. The system is designed to work in conjunction with any auger boring machine and allows crews to bore in a single pass accurately — no pilot bore required.
- Four steering flaps can be actuated hydraulically to make adjustments and keep the SRS head on-grade.
- Built-in water level allows the operator to monitor grade throughout the bore
- Two LED lights in the control station that indicate head movement also helps with lateral adjustments.
