Larger surface area for higher potential loads.
Shorter rotation distances resulting in quicker anchor locking times and less drive time.
Fewer drive rods.

KEY BENEFITS

Quick and easy to install using readily available gear.
Can be used immediately after installation
Every anchor is proof tested as part of the installation process.
No excavation necessary.
No concrete required.
Environmentally friendly.
High quality technical support.

HOW EARTH ANCHORS WORK

1) Drive the Earth Anchor.

Using readily available conventional tools and equipment, drive the Earth Anchor into the ground with a reusable HULK Smasher Rod.

2) Remove the Smasher Rod.

Once the Earth Anchor is driven to the required depth remove the HULK Smasher Rod.

3) Proof Test.

Lock the Anchor while simultaneously proof testing to the required capacity.

HULK INSTALLATION METHODS

Light

Medium

Heavy

Hulk Earth Anchors can be installed with a variety of light, medium and heavy installation equipment. Anchor size, installation depth and project specifics will determine the size of installation equipment required. All applicable power sources and plant are readily available from most plant hire companies.

HULK SMASHER RODS

HULK Smasher Rods are manufactured from high quality impact resistant steels. They are available in a variety of combinations including Hand Smasher Rods, fixed length and extendable Power Smasher Rods. Shank options are available for most types of powered installation equipment. HULK Smasher Rods are available in a variety of lengths from 0.9m up to 3m and various diameters to attain desired installation depths.

A complete list of Smasher Rods and specifications are available on request.

ANCHOR LOCKING AND PROOF TESTING

Anchor Hook

Anchor Jack

PT-45

PT-150

Once the Earth Anchor has been driven into the ground, it needs to be set into its “Locked” position. This is achieved by pulling on the anchor tendon with HULK Anchor Locking equipment. The light duty anchor hook and medium duty anchor jack are quick and simple methods for Locking small to medium Anchors.

The PT-45 and PT-150 HULK Anchor Lockers are essential when installing Earth Anchors to a specified load requirement. Both are designed to Lock and Proof Test simultaneously and can accommodate anchors installed vertically or at an angle. The anchor holding capacity is then easily read on the calibrated gauge. Various connections and fittings are available which allow easy attachment to different Earth Anchor tendons.
