Techno Metal Post has not only created the premier helical post solution with its screw pilings, its engineering division designed and developed three lines of specialized installation equipment, the R2D-Post, ET-1 and EM-1 machines. Each different machine is geared to handling a specific sized job, and all have the same low damage-impact to your land.

Techno Metal Post's R2D-Post Installation Machine is light, easy to use and was specifically designed to allow for the installation of the Techno Metal Post screw pilings into all types of soil without damaging the land or surround area during the construction period. The R2D-Post is a compact size - able to fit through a doorway - enabling it to effectively maneuver around stairs, fences and hedges.

Techno Metal Post's ET-1 Installation Machine and EM-1 Machine are geared toward more heavy-duty installations and work of a larger scope. However, the design of these screw piling installation machines reduces the size of the footprint of not only the screw pilings, but the equipment used to put them in the ground.

All three of the proprietary Techno Metal Post Installation Machines consist of an engine unit that operates a complex hydraulic circuit with multiple functions, including:

  • Generating the power to the rotating head that screws down the Techno Metal Post,
  • Operating the telescopic mast and winch,
  • Powering the 4-wheel drive train for moving the machine.

R&D conducted by Techno Metal Post's engineers allows for our certified installers, through the use of one of the Installation Machines, to determine the bearing capacity of the soil on the site where the Techno Metal Posts are to be installed. Due to this specific knowledge transfer, Canada's CCMS, France's CSTB's Technical Assessment and the United States' ICC experts all require that Techno Metal Posts are installed by certified installers.

As a result, you will avoid, (or minimize) any property damage by using Techno Metal Post screw piles for your construction jobs.

And the beautiful thing about all these machines is that are manufactured in Canada.
