A contractor was going to do their first project with helical piles with a hand held machine. DANBRO was on site a week early to help train them on how to safely and effectively use this portable installation unit. The hand-held, portable set up consists of a footpedal, extendable resistance bar (to take the torque), and hydraulic hoses connected to a remote power source. This set-up allows Installers to deal with extremely limited access and eliminates mobilization obstacles. A great tool in the hands of a well trained talented Installer.
