Watertown, S.D. – (November 8, 2022) – Terex Utilities recently released a video that demonstrates how distribution crews can easily install screw anchors. By using the Terex Utilities Hollow Kelly Bar instead of a traditional locking dog and square bars, digger derrick operators can shave minutes off the process for every screw anchor that needs to be installed.  

In addition, the Hollow Kelly Bar with spring-loaded cam action continues to be used as the auger extension shaft, making it just as easy to switch from digging a hole at increased depth, then setting screw anchors before moving to the next pole. “In situations where multiple utility poles are being installed, productivity is dramatically improved,” said Adler. Equally important, is how much less manual handling is needed. “The square bar can weigh as much as 58 lbs and the locking dog can weigh as much as 36 lbs in a traditional setup. By eliminating that you are reducing risk of musculoskeletal injuries,” he said.
