Little Beaver to feature Mechanical Earth Drill During FENCETECH 2023

Little Beaver will feature their mechanical earth drill March 1 – 3, 2023 at booth 932 during FENCETECH in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Little Beaver Mechanical Drills feature a steel torque tube that allows operators to use large diameter augers without fear of dangerous kickback.

The mechanical earth drill is available with either a 5.5 or 8-horsepower engine and is mounted on 8- or 10-inch semi-pneumatic tires, respectively. Both versions offer a small footprint for easy access in any area and can be used on lawns, golf course greens, and other delicate surfaces without causing damage.

“Our mechanical earth drills are a favorite of fencing contractors because they offer true one-man operation,” explains Joe Haynes, president of Little Beaver. “These drills are safe, fast, and powerful with auger rotation speeds up to 360 rpm.”

Built to be reliable, powerful, and lightweight, the mechanical drills are ideal for a variety of industries, including rental centers, fence and sign installers, landscape and building contractors, and parks and recreation departments.

The mechanical drills feature a steel torque tube that allows operators to use large diameter augers without fear of dangerous kickback. In addition to increasing operator safety, the torque tube provides easier drilling, reducing operator effort and fatigue. To enhance operator safety further, all models feature a centrifugal clutch. If the drill encounters a buried object or the auger is overloaded, the clutch automatically slips to protect the operator from serious injury and the drive cable and transmission gears from damage. “We offer two kits to allow users to easily convert our mechanical drills into horizontal boring machines,” says Haynes. “The sidewalk auger kit includes a 5-foot extension with a universal joint and a 5-foot auger to make it ideal for drilling as much as four feet under sidewalks. The driveway kit is for applications like plumbing, electrical and water lines. It includes a water swivel and achieves horizontal drilling distances up to 40 feet.” Each mechanical drill is backed by a one-year warranty, with the engine covered by a two-year manufacturer’s warranty. “We’re excited to showcase our mechanical drills along with other products at FENCETECH. We always enjoy connecting with our customers at the show and learning about how we help them maximize productivity for their fencing business,” Haynes says.
