Why choose ground screw driver？

At present, a small number of small projects still use manual installation of ground screws. However, for large-scale projects such as photovoltaic installations, fences, and courtyard infrastructure construction, professional ground screw drivers are mostly used instead. Compared with the traditional manual ground screw driving operation, the advantages of mechanical equipment are comprehensive and they have become the mainstream choice for current construction.

High Efficiency

Manually, by using crowbars and levers to drive in the piles, a great deal of physical effort is required. This results in a limited number of installations per day and delays in large-scale projects. In contrast, the ground screw driver relies on hydraulic power to output high torque and can drive the piles into the ground quickly. It can complete the construction of hundreds of ground screw foundations per day, significantly shortening the project period and ensuring the project is delivered on schedule.

Stable Quality

Manual construction is influenced by the strength of workers and their practical experience, which often leads to problems such as uneven inclination of the ground screws and inconsistent depth of insertion into the ground. This results in uneven force distribution on the foundation in the later stage, making it prone to sinking and requiring rework. With the uniform and stable downward pressure and rotation of the machine, strict control over the verticality and pre-buried depth is ensured. Each ground screw is installed according to a unified standard, and the foundation’s bearing capacity meets the requirements. This can effectively avoid potential engineering hazards from the very beginning.

Save Labor Force

When constructing in hard soil layers, it is often necessary for three or four people to work together manually. The labor cost remains high. However, a ground screw driver only requires 1 to 2 operators for normal construction, which can reduce the number of workers on site. By continuously undertaking projects, it can consistently save a significant amount of labor expenses.

General Soil Type

Soft sandy soil can be used for manual construction, but for hard clay, frozen soil, and areas with gravel mixtures, the manual torque is insufficient, making it difficult to drive the ground screws to the standard depth. However, ground screw drivers have sufficient power and can smoothly carry out construction in various complex geological conditions, thereby expanding the applicable scope of construction.

Construction Safety

Because manual lever operations rely on brute force, prolonged work can easily cause sprains or strains in the waist and joints, and there is also a risk of injury from slipping or bumping with the tools. Mechanized operations, which replace manual effort, have standardized operation procedures and are controllable, which can effectively reduce the probability of work-related injuries on construction sites.
