What should I look for in a digger derrick?
The right digger derrick for a job should dig the hole and set the pole without being repositioned. That’s why operators need to consider all three requirements: lifting capacity within a 10-ft. load radius, in-hole digging capacity, and out-of-the-hole lifting capacity. The work zone capacity standard matches all three to the job.
What’s the capacity of a Terex digger derrick?
The new Terex work zone capacity standard reflects not only the boom’s lifting capacity; it also accounts for the digger derrick’s auger digging and lifting capacity. These capacities need to be close in order to make sure the truck is able to lift an auger filled with material out of the hole.

Repositioning the truck can reduce the overall efficiency of the crew constructing a new power line or changing a pole.
