Digga’s award winning excavator power head employs Eaton pumps and valves to help boost productivity

Digga’s award winning excavator power head employs Eaton pumps and valves to help boost productivity

A hydraulic power head that is attached to the boom of an excavator that is designed to perform such tasks as foundation drilling, screw anchoring and core barrelling typically has multiple hose connections and case drains. Such configurations make them difficult to attach and set-up in the field. They also require the operator to modulate the excavator's hydraulic output to keep it within the typical 250 l/pm capacity common in these power head units.
