Auger Torque Drum Cutter Attachment

Auger Torque’s Drum Cutters are engineered to meet the highest industry standards, combining innovative design with rugged construction to deliver outstanding performance in even the toughest conditions. Designed for excavators ranging from 2 to 60 tonnes, these transverse drum cutters are ideal for challenging applications such as rock excavation, trenching, tunnelling, and underwater operations.

Built with a focus on durability and efficiency, each unit features a robust spur gear system that delivers exceptional torque amplification, ensuring maximum cutting force exactly where it is needed. The large drum and versatile pick assortment allow for quick and easy replacement of wear parts, minimising downtime and keeping operations running smoothly.

Operator comfort and machine longevity are prioritised through low noise and vibration levels, reducing fatigue while also limiting wear on excavator components. The adjustable hydraulic motor ensures seamless compatibility with varying excavator outputs, optimising performance and throughput for every job.

Engineered for reliability, the drum cutters incorporate heavy-duty sealing systems, large-scale drive shaft bearings, and a reinforced housing structure, enabling low-maintenance operation even under continuous heavy-duty use. Their fully waterproof design (rated to depths of up to 20 metres) makes them particularly effective for underwater trenching and hard-to-reach environments.

With multiple drum configurations available, Auger Torque’s Drum Cutters offer flexibility, high productivity, and long-term value, making them an essential attachment for contractors working in demanding terrain.
