What Do Screwpiles, Telegraph Poles and Robot Farmers Have in Common?

No, this isn’t the start of a bad joke. But it is the story of how modern construction, agriculture, and infrastructure are becoming smarter, safer, and more sustainable—thanks to innovation in machinery.

At Autoguide Equipment, we live in the world where steel meets soil, torque meets telemetry, and where once-manual tasks are now carried out with surgical precision. But how does this all connect?



Scene One: Laying the Foundations (Literally)

You're halfway up a hillside, it’s raining sideways, and the project needs foundations by Friday. Concrete is out of the question. Enter: screwpiles. Installed in a fraction of the time, with zero mess and no curing delays. Our torque heads, fitted to excavators, drive piles in with pinpoint control, measuring resistance as they go to ensure every pile holds its ground—literally and legally.

You won’t get that kind of feedback with a sledgehammer and guesswork.


Scene Two: The Invisible Infrastructure (telegraph poles)

Next stop: utility installation. Thousands of telegraph poles, lighting columns, and signage posts are installed every year across the UK. Precision matters. Put a pole in at the wrong angle and you’ll know about it when the cables won’t tension, or the light doesn’t hit the road right. Our pole grab and torque equipment takes care of that—with controlled rotation, hydraulic grip, and precise torque readings.

The result? A job done once, and done right.


Scene Three: Farming Gets Smart

And now to the field—literally. Farming has always been tough, but as margins tighten and sustainability takes centre stage, tech has to step up. We’ve been working on adaptable machinery that helps with everything from installing fencing for rotational grazing, to laying underground power for autonomous equipment.

You’d be surprised how often our gear is the quiet hero behind the future of food.


So What Do They All Have in Common?

Precision. Reliability. Efficiency.

Whether it’s a coastal boardwalk built on screwpiles, a rural telecoms network upgrade, or infrastructure for robotic tractors—Autoguide is behind the scenes, making it happen.

And the best bit? Everything’s designed and built right here in the UK, by people who genuinely understand the challenges you face in the field, on site, or in the cab.


🚧 Got a project that needs some mechanical muscle and a smarter way of working? Let’s talk torque.
