Digga Anti Kickback Valve – ECV
Screw anchors are installed to an engineering torque specification. By the time installation torque is reached and the operator stops the machine, the pile has built up rotational energy (somewhat like a rubber band on a wind up model aeroplane). This causes the pile to momentarily ‘kick back’,
forcing the energy back up the pile through to the drive shaft, the gearbox, and the hydraulic motor.
This action effectively turns the motor into a high speed pump, generating cavitation of the motor, which causes motor failure and expensive replacement costs. Digga’s revolutionary flow reversal bypass valve (ECV) can be fitted to the drive manifold to control the release of this energy.
- Protects motor from rapid oil decompression
- Easily convert your auger drive into a screw anchor drive
- Digga’s Energy Control Valve also known as Swoosh Valve can be fitted to all PD drive units for screw anchoring applications. ECV comes standard on all Digga anchor drives

Digga 2 Speed High Flow 15-22T Auger Drives
Read more
Read moreDigga’s 2 speed drilling auger drives for High flow machines have been designed for a wider range of applications. Offering a high speed, low torque setting for the smaller auger jobs when you need that extra RPM, and low speed, high torque for when you really need to grind out that larger diameter hole. It’s like having 2 drive units in 1.
Two speed drives suit excavators & skid steer loaders, truck cranes, front end loaders, wheeled loaders, and backhoes.
- Improved motor design & performance with 2 Speed options:
- Low speed – High torque for large holes
- High speed – Low torque for smaller holes
- Suitable for a wide range of ground conditions:
- Soft loose soils, hard soils, and rocky conditions
- Integrated PRV (Pressure Relief Valve)
- Simple electrical connection:
- 12 or 24 volt coil, just requiring connection
- Optional joystick switches, floor mounted switches & cigarette plugs available pre-wired to suit
- Low maintenance with 5yr gear box and 3yr motor warranty

Digga High powered auger drive
Read more
Read moreOur single speed high powered range of auger drives have been designed to handle higher machine hydraulic pressures to deliver more power at higher RPM to suit drilling applications on 15 to 30 tonne machines. Fitted with a high efficiency radial piston motor and integrated input housing, these drives will help you increase productivity and reduce downtime to optimise your returns.
Compact & powerful
Digga have been designing and manufacturing drilling gearboxes for over 30 years. Unlike others who have to adapt to off-the-shelf componentry for their gearboxes, we design every component for its intended purpose, resulting in a much more compact and powerful drive.
Efficient & reliable
A highly reliable motor high in power yet low in maintenance, delivering faster drilling speeds at high torque. No need to sacrifice speed for torque or torque for speed.
2-Piece shaft design
A two-piece shaft design isolates the planetary gears from excessive side load. Oversized thrust washer and lock nuts secure the shaft. This promotes easy seal changes and servicing. Our shaft design prevents the shaft from falling out, even under continuous use.
