The 20000N is a powerful V+earth auger – a hydraulic spiral drilling attachment designed for 15–22 ton excavators. Unlike mechanical augers that require separate power sources, this unit taps directly into the excavator’s hydraulic system, delivering high torque and variable speed for efficient hole drilling in soil, clay, sand, and soft rock (hardness ≤10 MPa). With high efficiency drilling performance, the 20000N achieves a torque range of 16,500–20,500 N·m and adjustable speed from 23–55 rpm, enabling rapid penetration and fast cycle times. It serves as an excellent PV pile dedicated drilling unit for solar farm mounting piles, as well as for power transmission poles, foundation anchor holes, and geological exploration. The compact structure confined spaces design allows operation in tight locations – between existing solar panel rows, inside substations, or along narrow roads. Its hydraulic drive ensures low noise eco friendly operation, making it suitable for residential areas, wildlife‑sensitive sites, and night work. With a drilling diameter range of 300–1300 mm (using PA drill pipe) and optional depths up to 20 m, the 20000N is the go‑to solution for contractors across Southeast Asia, India, and Russia who need fast, clean, and cost‑effective hole drilling.
| Feature | Benefit for Drilling Projects |
|---|---|
| V+earth auger | Hydraulic‑powered spiral drill that mounts directly to 15–22 ton excavators. Uses the host machine’s hydraulic system – no external power pack. Easy to install and operate. Wide range of drill pipe sizes (S4, S5, S6, PA) and interchangeable drill bits for different soil types. |
| High efficiency drilling performance | Torque up to 20,500 N·m and speed range 23–55 rpm (adjustable). Drills through clay, sandy soil, and soft rock quickly. High flow capacity (60–170 L/min) ensures powerful rotation even in tough ground. Reduces drilling time by up to 40% compared to conventional augers. |
| PV pile dedicated drilling unit | Specifically suited for solar farm mounting piles. Drill diameters from 300 mm to 1300 mm (with PA drill pipe) – covers most PV pile requirements. Can also be equipped with auger extensions for deeper holes (up to 20 m). Ideal for utility‑scale solar projects. |
| Compact structure confined spaces | Overall dimensions: Φ460×1278 mm (auger head) plus drill pipe. Low profile allows work under low‑hanging obstacles, between existing piles, or inside substation yards. The excavator’s mobility combined with the auger’s compactness reaches spots that truck‑mounted drills cannot. |
| Low noise eco friendly operation | Hydraulic drive produces significantly less noise than diesel‑powered mechanical augers or pneumatic drills. Complies with urban noise regulations (often <80 dB at operator position). Reduces noise pollution in residential areas, hospitals, and wildlife corridors – a growing requirement for green building certifications. |

High efficiency drilling performance quickly penetrates the soft clay and sandy soils common in Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Fast cycle times allow a single excavator to drill hundreds of PV pile holes per day.
PV pile dedicated drilling unit aligns perfectly with the region’s booming solar energy sector – from floating solar in Vietnam to ground‑mount systems in the Philippines.
Low noise eco friendly operation is essential for projects near villages, resorts, or wildlife reserves (e.g., solar farms adjacent to ecotourism areas).
Compact structure confined spaces enables drilling on narrow terraces or between existing trees without clearing wide access roads.
V+earth auger reduces dependency on truck‑mounted drills, which often struggle with soft, waterlogged soil in solar parks (e.g., Bhadla, Pavagada). Excavator‑mounted augers can move easily between rows.
High efficiency drilling performance handles mixed ground – from loose alluvium in the north to laterite in the south. The 20,500 N·m torque overcomes shallow rock layers without stalling.
PV pile dedicated drilling unit supports the government’s target of 500 GW renewable capacity by 2030. Drilling for module mounting piles becomes faster and more uniform.
Low noise eco friendly operation helps contractors comply with state pollution control board norms, avoiding fines and work stoppages.
Compact structure confined spaces is critical when drilling near existing pipelines, railway embankments, or inside substations where space is limited.
High efficiency drilling performance with low‑temperature hydraulic fluid operates reliably down to -20°C (with optional cold‑weather package). The robust torque breaks through frozen active layers.
PV pile dedicated drilling unit supports the growing solar market in southern Russia and Siberia, where permafrost requires deep, straight holes for ground screws.
Low noise eco friendly operation benefits drilling near installations, residential areas, or nature reserves where noise restrictions are strict.
Power transmission pole holes (300–600 mm diameter)
Foundation anchor holes for telecom towers
Geological exploration and soil sampling
Tree planting holes for orchards or landscaping
Fence post holes on farms
