Case Study: Digga achieves 300% greater productivity with Eaton hydraulic motors

Digga’s Award-Winning I-Drive Depends On Eaton Motors And Valves

Digga, an Australian manufacturer of earthmoving attachments, needed to design a “bullet-proof” drilling power head for excavators that would use only two hydraulic lines and require no case drain. The challenge was to create a compact, high-capacity unit that could tolerate operator error, work in rugged field conditions, and handle demanding drilling and anchoring applications.

Working with Eaton, Digga built the I-Drive around four Eaton 6000 Series hydraulic motors and an Eaton screw-in cartridge valve manifold, plus a unique bypass valve for decompression control. The result was a compact, highly productive power head that eliminated complex hose and valve arrangements, achieved up to 300 percent greater productivity than competitive systems, and earned an Australian Design Award for design and innovation.
