HULK Models

HULK EARTH ANCHORS ARE DRIVEN TIPPING PLATE SOIL ANCHORS FOR REACTION OF TENSILE LOADS.

Hulk earth anchors have minimum breaking load up to 280 kN*.

The elegant, simple, effective and low-cost Hulk earth anchor system represents a major breakthrough in anchoring technology with a multitude of uses in the utility, civil engineering and marine markets.

Hulk earth anchors offers cost reductions for the installation and repair of walls, sheet piles and seawalls. Many of our customers utilize Hulk earth anchors to shore up, stabilize and repair failing walls providing a cost-effective alternative to a potential full or partial rebuild/replacement structure.

Patented System

Hulk earth anchors are the result of years of constant testing and analysis of in situ site conditions and present to the market a product designed for the engineer and the installer.

Hulk earth anchors incorporate a number of significant features which improve its overall performance:

Hex Drive Technology

The unique shape of the Hulk earth anchor body allows it to have a slimmer, stronger profile, we call this Hex Drive Technology. This reduces the amount of effort required to drive the anchor into the ground while simultaneously increasing the overall strength.

It also provides a wider scoop on the trailing end of the anchor, encouraging it to rotate and lock into position sooner and more reliably during proof testing. Hex drive also allows for clean angles, allowing the product to galvanise well thereby enhancing corrosion resistance.

HULK DEFLECTOR

The Hulk Deflector protects the anchor tendon from damage while the anchor is being driven into the ground.

TENDON ATTACHMENT

The Hulk Earth Anchor tendon attachment point is built touch for cable, rod or chain. A wide range of tendons are available to cater for any of your anchoring requirements.

BALL NOSE SMASHER

The ball nose “Smasher “anchor driving rods offer superior performance and increased resistance to wear and tear. This also reduces the risk of the rod getting stuck in the back of the anchor.

Widened Scoop

A further benefit of Hex Drive Technology is the wider scoop on the trailing end of the earth anchor which encourages it to rotate and lock into position sooner and more reliability during proof testing.

A major benefit of this is that Hulk Earth Anchors pull back less when proof testing compared to competing brands, thereby requiring a shallower installation depth to achieve similar results- a major benefit for production installers.

CHISEL TECH

The “cutting edge” technology of the HULK earth anchor. The chisel like leading edge of the HULK provides superior penetration while driving the anchor into the ground, especially in harder ground conditions.

LOAD MAX TECHNOLOGY

The reaction surface of Hulk earth anchors is optimised using clever load max technology. Years of experimentation have shown us that surface bearing angles of an anchor have an influence on bearing capacity. Therefore when we coupled the Hex shape of Hulk with the perfect angled wing, frustum cone angles were increased allowing it our Hulks to carry higher loads. We call this LOAD MAX technology. This wing varies in size across the different Hulk models to cater for varying ground conditions.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS HULK EARTH ANCHORS IS THE SOLUTION TO ALL OF YOUR ANCHORING PROBLEMS.

Hulk earth anchors, a patented labour and time saving device, are driven into the ground with no holes, no digging and no concrete.

Unlike other anchoring systems, the Hulk earth anchors compacts the soil around itself providing a safe and environmentally sensitive installation. The anchors are driven with conventional hydraulic/pneumatic equipment that is readily available worldwide.

Once driven to the proper depth, an upward pull on the anchor tendon
 rotates the Hulk head into a perpendicular “anchor lock” position in undisturbed soil. The holding capacity is measured by a gauge on the anchor locker. Each anchor is immediately proof loaded to the required capacity.

A MODEL FOR EVERY APPLICATION

The wide range of Hulk earth anchors offers light to heavy duty holding capacities. All anchors are load tested to the desired holding capacity with the anchor locker.

While the HP range has a minimum breaking load of 34kN, the H range have a minimum breaking load of 70kN. All Hulk H earth anchors are available in galvanised ductile iron with a wide range of anchor tendons available. The Hulk H models available are the H50, H80 and H110. All anchors in the Hulk H range share the same drive rod, this unique feature allows installers of Hulk earth anchors to quickly change from one model to another to adjust for varying ground conditions without purchasing additional installation equipment.

Similar to the H range, the Hulk HG range of earth anchors all use a common smasher drive steel. With an ultimate strength of 280kN, the Hulk HG earth anchor range are used for heavy duty anchoring applications. Also available with different wing configurations the HG range cater for a wide variety of ground conditions. The earth anchor models HG100, HG180 and HG320 are all available in galvanised ductile iron.

Note: Anchor holding capacities are tendon and soil dependent.
