The utility sector is no stranger to challenge — whether it’s working on time-sensitive pole installs, navigating difficult terrain, or facing increasing pressure to reduce environmental impact.
At Autoguide Equipment, we’re seeing a shift. Across the UK, utility contractors and engineers are embracing smarter, more sustainable solutions — not just for the sake of compliance, but because they perform better.
One standout innovation?
➡️ Hydraulic pole handling and installation equipment that makes installs faster, safer, and more precise.
🚧 Meet the Game-Changer: Autoguide’s Pole Grab
Used with excavators, cranes, or skid steers, the Autoguide Pole Grab has become a go-to tool for utility and telecom contractors looking to speed up pole work without compromising on safety. It’s built for:
Tight access sites
Live environments
Improved operator control
We’ve seen utility teams reduce manual handling, minimise downtime, and work more confidently in sensitive areas — especially in projects near trees, roadsides, or overhead lines.
🔧 Drill with Precision: Auger Drivers for Utility Work
For fast, efficient pole installation and foundation prep, auger drivers offer reliable torque and performance across a wide range of ground conditions. Autoguide’s hydraulic auger drivers provide:
High torque output
Smooth, precise drilling
Versatility with auger flight sizes
Whether you're boring into soft ground, clay, or harder soils, these tools keep your crew moving — no waiting for concrete to cure, and no guesswork.
🦾 The Ultimate Utility Combo: Backhoe + Auger Driver + Pole Grab
Want to maximise site efficiency? Mount both an Auger Driver (Torque Head) and a Pole Grab on a CAT or JCB Backhoe — giving your team everything they need in one mobile, adaptable machine.💥 One machine. Two attachments. Endless productivity.
This setup is becoming a favourite among contractors looking for flexibility, reduced setup times, and fewer machine movements on site.
