Essig 45mm Impact Mole | Horizontal Boring Tool | Pneumatic Soil Displacement

The 45mm Essig Impact Mole is a technically advanced soil displacement tool engineered for the precise installation of underground services. Powered by compressed air supplied by a generator, the ESSIG-IP-Mole is driven through the soil by a high-performance internal piston, creating a bore into which product pipes or conduits can be introduced directly or installed at a later stage. Its fully reversible design allows for superior maneuverability without the need for manual cables or turning.

How does the Essig 45mm mole install underground conduits?

The tool utilizes compressed air to drive an internal piston, creating a displacement bore through the soil as it progresses. Conduits can be introduced directly with the mole or pulled through the established bore after completion.

Is the Essig horizontal boring tool reversible?

Yes, all machines in this range are fully reversible without the need for manual turning or external cables. The operator simply turns off the air supply and pulls the hose while reintroducing compressed air to reverse the tool's direction.

What are the primary physical advantages of the ESSIG-Mole?

The tool features small dimensions and requires no thrust bearing, leading to significantly reduced preparation times on-site. Its accurate soil displacement mechanism is highly efficient, allowing for operation by only 1 or 2 operators.
