Bauer’s BG rigs get top billing
BG 11 rotary drill gets first showing at ConExpo
Bauer plans to manufacture and service the BG 11 H in the United States for local markets.
Bauer Maschinen Group will exhibit a large range of its foundation equipment at ConExpo in Las Vegas in March, with the main focus given to its BG series of rotary drilling rigs.
Its BG 11 H, a new rig type, will be presented to the public for the first time.
Designed as a compact rig, its small size allows for easy and fast transport, rigging and derigging. The unit weighs only 34 metric tons including rotary drive and Kelly bar.
The BG 11 H is not only an optimal compact piling rig for the foundation industry. Drillers in the oil and gas industry are also considered as key customers. The rig can be used for the initial drilling of cellar holes to a diameter of three metres, followed by drilling for conductor pipes as well as for rathole and mousehole drilling.

Bauer’s PremiumLine will be represented by a BG 39, which, with an overall height of 28 to 33 metres, a winch with a line pull of 290 to 355 kilo newtons and a rotary drive with a torque of 390 kilo newton metres will make for an impressive attraction. While the BG 39 is an ideal rig for Kelly drilling, it easily can be converted for other special foundation applications in particular for single pass methods (displacement piles, CFA piles) and as carrier for soil mixing systems.
Bauer-Pileco, the American subsidiary of Bauer Maschinen and a specialist in pile driving technology, will exhibit a Diesel impact hammer, the D 62-22, which comes with an impressive piston weight of 6.2 tonnes and a total overall weight of approx. 13 tonnes.
