Drilling rigs for CAT construction equipment - don't waste time with half-measures

There's no point fitting attachments 'by eye', especially when it comes to working with Caterpillar machines. If you use an excavator, loader or mini-excavator from this brand, you are well aware that the hydraulics on these machines are specific. That's why you need a hydraulic earth auger that not only fits the machine in terms of weight , but above all works with its pressure, flow and torque.

Techna Poland's range includes models from TEHB2000 to TEHB20000, which are capable of handling both light mini-loaders and large crawler excavators. The torque range on these units is from 2000 to 20000 Nm, with drilling diameters up to 1200 mm. Each unit has a planetary gear drive as standard, which ensures high durability and a smooth translation of power to the auger.

If you want to avoid costly fixes, downtime and inefficient work, simply go for an attachment that realistically fits your machine. It doesn't have to be the most expensive, but it does have to be the right fit. And that's what you'll find with us.

Drilling rig for Caterpillar - not every rig will work as you expect

Matching attachments to your machine is not just a question of dimensions. When it comes to drilling rigs and Caterpillar machines, you have to look more broadly: operating pressure, oil flow, maximum rotational speed and connection diameter are all data that cannot be ignored. And yet there are still many companies opting for 'universal' drill rigs. The result? Lost time, machine overload, or worse, failure.

For Caterpillar machines weighing 4-8 tonnes, the TEHB6000 or TEHB7000 models are worth a look. These offer 6,000 and 7,000 Nm of torque respectively, with a drilling diameter range of up to 600 mm. For heavier units - over 10 tonnes, for example - the TEHB15000 and TEHB20000 are ideal, providing huge torque (up to 20000 Nm) and drilling diameters of up to 1200 mm.

Each model can be equipped with the appropriate augers, adaptors and fasteners. Importantly, at Techna Poland you select the entire set at once, without having to order parts from three different places. You have one order - you pick up a set and go to work.

Drilling rig for a CAT excavator - how to choose equipment that doesn't mess with your machine

In theory, a drill rig for mini excavator is just another attachment. In practice, it's a piece of equipment that can put a lot of strain on an excavator's hydraulics, especially if it's not selected properly. If you have a Caterpillar excavator and are planning to drill for micropiles, foundations or utilities - it is worth stopping and checking that the parameters of the machine and the drill rig are in tune with each other.

For machines weighing 6-9 tonnes, for example, the TEHB7000 and TEHB8000 are recommended. These have a torque of 7000 to 9000 Nm, require a flow rate of 50-90 l/min and operate at speeds of up to 55 rpm. These are optimum values that not only do not 'kill' the pump, but allow precise drilling in a variety of soils.

If you use the attachment frequently, you will also appreciate the durability of the design: all our models have planetary gears, industrial seals and overload protection. The machine runs stably, without overloading, and you can concentrate on the job in peace.

CAT hydraulic earth auger for backhoe loaders - the power that really counts

Backhoe loaders are a special kind of equipment. On the one hand versatile, on the other very demanding when it comes to the choice of attachments. The drilling rig for a CAT backhoe loader must be strong enough to break through dense soil, but light enough not to overload the rear arm and hydraulics. There is no room for chance here.

The TEHB6000, TEHB7000 and TEHB8000 are the best performers. Their working torques range from 6,000 to 9,000 Nm and their drilling diameter range is 100-600 mm. Importantly, the operating pressure and flow are within the standard of CAT machines in this weight range, so there is no risk of overloading the pump or valves.

All models in this group have heavy-duty housings, impact protection and quick installation, which is of paramount importance when working on time. You know that everything is working as it should. No nerves.

CAT forging drill - more than just drilling

Not every project involves drilling smooth boreholes into uniform soil. Sometimes you need to break through old concrete, rocky terrain or heavily compacted clay. In such cases, it's worth considering a drill rig that allows you to not only drill, but can handle breaking up the structure of the ground. This is precisely the application you will find in the more powerful Techna Poland models.

The TEHB8000_1, TEHB15000 and TEHB20000 are particularly suitable for tasks requiring "forging". They offer torques from 9,000 to as much as 20,000 Nm, a diameter range of up to 1,200 mm and an impact- and shock-resistant design. They operate at pressures of up to 250 bar and flow rates of up to 150 l/min, allowing them to work aggressively in very hard material.

If your task involves breaking up the structure of the base layer in addition to drilling, it is not worth investing in two pieces of equipment. It is better to reach for a piece of equipment that will do everything at once, and with ease.

CAT mini loader drill rig - small machine, big possibilities

Caterpillar mini-loaders are increasingly used in urban projects, gardening or light infrastructure installations. But if you plan to drill with them, you need to bear in mind that not every drill rig will "pull" on such a hydraulic system. That's why it makes sense to go for a compact model that can do the job.

For CAT mini-loaders, the TEHB2000 or TEHB3000 would be the best choice. These are units weighing less than 65 kg, with a drilling diameter range of 50 to 400 mm, a torque of up to 3000 Nm and a speed of 75-82 rpm. They operate at low pressure and flow rates from 20 l/min, which fits perfectly with the characteristics of mini loaders.

If you have fencing work to do, drilling for point foundations or light drainage - these models are sufficient, while not overloading the machine and allowing quick installation without alterations.

CAT mini-excavator drilling rig - you will be surprised by its capabilities

Mini excavators are machines that are often underestimated in the context of drilling work. And that's a mistake. In the right conditions, with the right attachments, they can do more than many expect. The key is to select equipment that matches the pressure, flow and weight of the machine.

In this category, Techna Poland recommends the TEHB3000 and TEHB3500, specifically developed for mini excavators 2-5 t. They have a torque of 3,000 and 3,500 Nm respectively, while remaining compact and resistant to harsh working conditions. Importantly, they are variable speed and work with a variety of auger types, making them highly versatile.

If you want to exploit the full potential of a Caterpillar mini excavator, there is no need to invest in equipment that is too big, too expensive or too advanced. All you need is a well-chosen drill rig - and you can work faster, cheaper and more efficiently.

A modern CAT excavator drill rig is the solution for companies that focus on power, efficiency and safety. The brand's equipment performs well in tough ground conditions while maintaining high drilling precision. In the same segment, excellent results are offered by the JCB hydraulic earth auger for excavators, the reliable Kubota hydraulic earth auger for mini excavators and the Bobcat universal drilling rig for construction machinery, appreciated for its ease of installation.

Frequently asked questions by our customers

Question Answer
Can I fit a drill rig to a CAT excavator without modifying the machine? Yes - provided you choose a model that matches the hydraulic parameters of your machine. At Techna Poland, you will select a drill rig that is compatible with the flow, pressure and connections - and if you need an adapter, you will get one included. You don't have to redesign or guess anything.
Which drill rig will be suitable for a CAT 2-3 t mini excavator? For machines in this class, the TEHB3000 or TEHB3500, which offer a torque of 3,000 to 3,500 Nm, will work well. They work stably with low oil flow and are light and compact. You can use them to drill holes up to 400 mm in diameter, which is more than enough for spot foundations, fences or installation work.
Does one drill rig fit with several CAT machines of different weights? In some cases, yes - especially if you have machines with similar hydraulic characteristics. However, it's worth remembering that each drill rig has its own optimum working range. If you want to use one unit on several machines, this can be planned - provided you choose the right auger and torque settings. Let us know which machines you work with - we will advise specifically
