American Augers 24-100

Dependability For Boring Contractors

The model 24-100 is a light, easy to handle unit with rugged construction and dependable performance. It meets the challenge of most any bore in the small to medium range, 4 to 24 inch diameter, and develops 100,000 pounds of forward thrust. Powered by the 26 HP Lombardini 2-cylinder air-cooled diesel, the model 24-100 uses a rugged unitized box frame construction for lasting alignment of the transmission and gearbox. We have never had a frame failure in over 25 years of boring machine production. The low center-line and wide stance ensure low machine profile and stability. Slide rails guide the 24-100 on sturdy reinforced tracks. The rails pivot, releasing the boring machine from the tracks for a balanced lift of 2,300 pounds. Spring loaded track dogs automatically reposition the push bar for the next drive. Machine controls and gauges are clustered for easy operation. The machine has electric start and emergency switch for total machine shutdown. The clutch and transmission shift levers move easily without strain.

American Augers 42-600G2

The G2 boring machines include a hydraulic/electric clutch system that allows the operator to shift with ease and maintain his presence while the auger is in motion. The machine automatically engages the tracks when set into place so there are no hook rollers to be fastened down. New hydraulic controls are placed together for ease of operation and the machine thrust lever features a greatly reduced force of operation while increasing the amount of proportionality. New hydraulic pressure controls allow the operator to maintain a constant face pressure on the cutting head.
The 42-600G2 is available with the standard winch or the highly productive Quik Trac system. The new Quik Trac system is a rack and pinion drive that not only allows the machine to move at a rate of 77ft/min but also develops 10,000 pounds of thrust and pull force. Using the new Quik Trac will increase the overall productivity of your machine by allowing you to pull auger, add new sections of auger, and push product into casing without the lost time associated with dogging and connecting the winch.
