Dual Cropper Hire
The dual pile cropper reduces piles with multiple reinforcement bars in tight spaces where only smaller excavator sizes are possible.
DUAL CROPPER 200mm - 350mm
Engineered with two synchronised rams, the Dual Cropper is ideal for housing sites and infrastructure where medium-sized piles are being installed. It provides a consistent finish and rapid pile reduction.

Applications of use...
Our Dual cropper is used to reduce any pre-cast concrete (PCC) pile with single or multiple reinforcement bars. The cropper is narrow enough to fit into 600mm trench digs and tight spaces, this is a very versatile cropper giving a superb finish using the two cutting blades. The Dual cropper is used to expose the rebar to the finish level by nibbling down the pile at intervals of 250mm – 500mm. Recommended for sites where the multi-bar cropper is too large. 800kg weight – minimum 8T excavators and above.

FAQ's about the Dual Cropper
What pile diameters can it manage?
Normally 200mm–3500mm square piles.
How does it compare to the Quad Cropper?
It offers moderate speed gains but is easier to manoeuvre on tighter sites.
What excavator size do I need?
Typically 8–13 tonne machines.
Is it suitable for mixed pile types?
No – it works on driven, precast reinforced piles.
Does it maintain consistent cut heights?
it will crop piles at the indicated finish levels.
Will the pile reinforcement be cut whilst cropping the pile?
No – it is designed not to interfere with the rebar within the pile.
