Dingo - The Preferred Technology

Dingo has a long association with the telecommunications, power, and other utility industries. Dingos are involved in the maintenance and installation of these utilities all over Australia. Dingos are particularly well suited for installing underground utilities (eg. new telephone lines) to houses in new estates.

Contractors use the Trencher in combination with the Under Road Borer for getting under footpaths and driveways. Once the cable is installed the blade is quickly attached and used to backfill the trench. The compact size of the Dingo allows it to perform this work in the confined situations presented in most new housing estates.

One power authority has also found a method for using the Dingo to install power poles.

They couldn’t use conventional equipment because many of the power poles that needed replacing were in confined areas where no large machinery could fit.

The solution was to use the Dingo to dig the post hole, and then also use the Dingo to erect specially modified 3 stage poles. These are but a few of the uses for Dingos in the utilities industries.

There are also dozens of Dingos used by contractors to inspect power poles. The Trencher is used to excavate around the base of the pole so the contractor can inspect it for rot. Dingos have established themselves as the preferred technology for this type of work.

If rot is found and a pole has to be stabilised the Dingo can help there too. The Post Driver is used to drive the supporting nails in beside the pole. Our Post Driver can be specially modified for this particular job of pole re-instatement.

Benefits for Underground Utility Installers:
• Versatility - One machine can trench, dig under footpaths and backfill.
