Casing Rotators

Casing rotators are used for installing large diameter casing in deep drilled shafts. With the ability to rotate a full 360 degrees, using a rotator in combination with down-hole hammers, augers and grabs is a sure method of installing casing in any soil or rock condition.

Similar to an oscillator, a rotator can be used when ground conditions are so unstable that drilled holes cannot safely be stabilized with drilling slurry or when loose ground must be controlled. However, there are additional applications and benefits of a utilizing a rotator including:  removing existing concrete piles, cutting through concrete in secant piling, and penetrating inclined rock layers or large boulders. Rotators have a self-traveling capability with optional crawler tracks and power pack deck.

We offer six rotator models with varying diameters to work on drilling projects from 800-4,000mm.
