Quad Cropper Hire
For multi-diameter debonded piles; efficient, quick cropping of your piles in one go.
QUAD CROPPERS range 300mm - 1200mm
The Quad Cropper is a four-jaw (4 jaw) pile cropper: it closes on all four sides of the pile at once and cuts it in a single controlled action, rather than breaking the concrete away. That is what lets it deal with multi-diameter debonded piles in one pass, and why contractors who ask for a 4 jaw pile cropper are usually describing exactly this machine. Sizes run from 300mm to 1200mm across the Quad, Quad L, Quad XL, Quad XXL and Quad XXXL.
Best utilised on piles with 'debonded' reinforcement bars, its small footprint gives easy access into tight spaces, and the Quad Cropper can reduce contiguous and secant piled walls with spacing as close as 100mm. It is part of our full pile cropper hire range.

The Quad Cropper: a 4 jaw pile cropper
As a 4 jaw pile cropper, the Quad Cropper closes four synchronised jaws around the pile and cuts on all four sides in one pass, cropping augured round piles from 300mm to 1500mm across the Quad range. Because it cuts rather than breaks, the reinforcement is left exposed and intact with minimal trimming at formation level. See how to hire or call 03300 240 247 to hire a Quad Cropper.
