Rock Spike Kit.

There are two main sizes of Rock spike sold. The Rock Spike is hi-med tensile Swedish hollow steel with a solid end and bisalloy tip, coming in 90mm & 100mm diameters. This means the Rock Spike weighs approx. 53 kg and is much more manageable to handle. The 100 mm Rock spike is the preferred size for many South Island fencers.

Mounting System

Revolutions Auto  Auger & Rock Spike Kits fit directly to the Telescopic mast and it’s the mast action that extracts the rock spike or lifts the Auger out of the driven/drilled hole. The two kits are easily interchangeable. 

Both kits are located on the tractor side so they are not located on the operator’s side. This is seen as a huge advantage by operators as they have an unobstructed clear view down the fence line. 

A development in June 2007, instigated by Hawkes Bay Fencing Contractor Mark Little and actioned by Waipukurau Fencing Contractor Sam Meadows onto their Revolution Telescopic SS’s has seen an automated system put onto both kits. This means that the kits are now brought around into operating position automatically via a hydraulic ram and returned to storage position in the same manner.

Revolution has since refined the system and made the auto feed easily interchangeable so the one auto field can be used on both kits when the Buyer has purchased the Rock Spike/Auger Combo.

This Automated system is a notable safety improvement and also an invaluable aid when working in steep country. It has now become a standard feature on Revolution Rock Spike and Auger kits given the benefits it provides to the operator for ease of usage combined with a safety improvement.

Rock Spike Postcap

Revolution has a specially designed post cap for Rock Spiking. The design enables the ring to hold the Rock Spike in position while driving, another added safety benefit.
