McLaughlin Unveils Steering Head for Auger Bores

The ON Target auger boring system from McLaughlin enables contractors to control horizontal on-grade (up and down) changes as well as lateral (left to right) direction changes. A control station with hydraulic power pack controls the movement of the head, while a built-in water level helps monitor grade throughout the bore. Two halogen lights in the control station indicate lateral steering head movements. 800/435-9340; www.mightymole.com.
