Digger derricks are versatile pieces of equipment used primarily in utility and construction industries for drilling holes and setting poles. They come equipped with augers for digging and booms for lifting, making them essential for tasks like installing utility poles, streetlights, and signage.
Check the condition of the auger, boom, and hydraulic systems. Review maintenance records and inspect for any structural damage or excessive wear.
Use a transport service experienced in handling heavy machinery. Ensure the equipment is properly secured, and consider using protective covers during transit.
Regularly check hydraulic fluid levels, inspect the auger and boom for wear, and lubricate moving parts. Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for specific maintenance intervals and procedures.
