Equipment for Unique Fence Installation Jobs
Little Beaver is known in fencing circles for fast and efficient posthole diggers, like our Mechanical and Hydraulic Earth Drills. But our equipment’s capabilities don’t stop there. We know that your projects can vary and expand beyond setting traditional fences — like installing a dog fence or shallow electrical lines that run along a fence. That’s why we offer multiple equipment options for fencing, landscaping and more.
Here’s how our equipment can help streamline your projects:
Underground Fencing
Some fencing projects, like pet fencing, involve digging underground lines around the perimeter of a yard. Digging by hand makes the project longer and harder to complete. But what other option do you have?
Well, there’s our Kwik-Trench mini trencher. We offer two options: the KT 200B and the KT 2400B. The KT 200B is built for lighter-duty jobs and smaller yards while the KT 2400B is for more demanding applications in tougher soils. Here are the overall benefits of both options:
- Minimal turf disturbance
- Trenching speed up to 30 feet per minute
- Trench depth range of 6-12 inches
- Compact with a practical cutter wheel design
- Maneuverable for tight spaces
The Kwik-Trench offers a safe, easy way to dig a uniform trench with consistent depth and size. For fencing contractors, a mini trencher saves hours of hand digging, significantly speeding up trenching tasks. It also creates the opportunity to support other projects, like installing electrical lines for landscape lighting.
Crossing Under Obstacles
Sometimes, underground fencing and electrical lines need to go underneath an obstacle, such as a sidewalk or a driveway. This task traditionally requires manual tunneling or cutting through the concrete to the ground below. Both of these options are time consuming, and breaking through the concrete diminishes the strength of the entire slab.
If you’re already using our Mechanical Earth Drill for fence installation, or if you’re considering adding one to your fleet, remember that it can be more than just a posthole digger. Our Horizontal Boring Kits pair with your Little Beaver Mechanical Earth Drill and bore cleanly underneath obstacles without disturbing the surface. There are two kits to choose from: a sidewalk boring kit and a driveway boring kit.
The sidewalk boring kit is a dry boring solution that’s perfect for smaller spans like those underneath sidewalks and includes a 5-foot auger with a 3-inch diameter bit and a 5-foot extension with a universal wiggle joint. The driveway boring kit is a wet boring solution and bores up to 50 feet underneath driveways or parking lots. The kit includes the option of a 2-, 3- or 4-inch drill bit as well as a swivel adapter, swivel assembly and horizontal boring key. To complete the kit, operators will need to use a garden hose, 3/4-inch Schedule 80 water pipe and 3/4-inch pipe collar. Both kits connect to our Mechanical Earth Drill.
Expand Your Capabilities
An earth drill isn’t the only piece of equipment from our line that can help optimize your projects. Once you’ve invested in an earth drill, you can expand outward with other solutions to boost your productivity and expand your capabilities.
