YOUR PROJECT, READY TO DISCUSS
Download your details to share when arranging hire. Equipment suitability, rates and availability still need confirmation.
Selection depends on pile diameter and shape, reinforcement and debonding, concrete condition, and your excavator. Include these details in your hire brief so suitability can be checked.
Excavator weight alone does not confirm compatibility. Hydraulic flow, pressure, lifting arrangement and carrier capacity must also match the selected cropper.
