About this product

The MCL 225 auger boring system from McLaughlin was designed for long large diameter casing installations for power, communications, water/sewer and pipeline projects.  The new MCL 225 is powered by a 214 HP Volvo tier 4 compliant diesel engine, and is equipped with 5” hex Auger driving 1,200,000 ft lbs of thrust and 126,000 ft.lbs of torque for big bore applications.  New industry leading features in the area of remote operation and safety features, new robust “quick set” track design, and “Rabbit Drives” set this new machine apart from the rest.

2 x 4 CYLINDER SPEED

Thrust cylinders are optimized to provide quick, low thrust movement of the machine, when you need it but to transition into high thrust mode when the hardest pushes are encountered. All cylinder retractions are done in the high speed 2 cylinder mode.

POWERTRAIN

Powerful 218 hp, tier 4 final, diesel engine with a constant torque level through most of the engine rpm range. Quiet, completely enclosed and low profile power unit makes a compact unit to fit inside shoring and trench boxes. A hydraulic clutch, 6 speed transmission and a dual reduction gearbox provide torque for increased bore length.

RABBIT TRAVEL

Provides quick movement of the boring machine. Utilizing 40,000 lbs of push / pull power to pull augers and reduce machine set up time.

5″ HEX

Chuck, augers and heads are all available to work with 5” hex. Also adapter provide available to match up to existing stock augers from other size machines.
