Trying to work out the smallest (rubber tracked) digger that can practically achieve a certain job.
I need to auger holes for gal UB or similar to retain (probably concrete) sleepers. The holes will need to be about 900 deep but at a reach of about 1500 and at the bottom of a 900 batter. Basically, the machine would be parked at the top of a small slope reaching out to drill holes at the bottom of the slope. Ground is mostly sandy soil on top of sandstone. “Smallest machine” aim is for not just least cost but access practicality, it will need to traverse existing pavers laid on a screeded bed and fit in a driveway with effective trafficable width about 2700. I’m just at the stage of trying to scope everything entailed, it’s a multi-stage project and nothing is going to happen quickly. Informed advice on the likely tonnage of a suitable machine, would be greatly welcome. Plus, if anyone has a contact or small excavation business in Sydney north of the harbour, I’m also interested to hear from you. |
