Underground Group American Augers products are manufactured at the company’s 241,000 square-foot facility in West Salem, Ohio. Since the founding of American Augers in 1970, there has never been a change in the company’s core value: having products developed by a can-do work force that focuses on mechanical, technological and customer-based design improvements. American Augers was the first HDD manufacturer to eliminate chain and utilize a rack and pinion carriage design which is now the industry standard. The rack and pinion drive provides smoother carriage movement, more precise operating control, long system life and no complicated parts. In 2010 American Augers re-introduced the DD-10. This Mid-size rig features 100,000 lbs. of thrust/ pullback – highest rotary torque in its class, and options like a Quick Disconnect Anchor Plate and a 15 ft. Pipe Loader. The first Rapid Setup machine was introduced in December 2010; Directional Drill 1100 Rapid Setup (DD-1100RS) with optional rod-loader. Rapid Setup of Maxi-Rigs is rather new to the directional drill market and engineered to solve the issue of positioning large equipment quickly and easily. The Rapid Setup procedure consists of very few steps: (1) positioning the front and rear foot (2) positioning the rig at the jobsite (3) lowering the arms to the rear foot, (4) moving the dolly (5) disconnecting the tractor (6) raising the rig, and finally (7) inserting pins at 2 different angles to complete the Rapid Setup. without the use of an excavator or crane.
