HULK Earth Anchors
Proudly designed and manufactured in Australia, HULK Earth Anchors are backed by more than 27 years of experience in the field of percussion driven tipping plate anchors.
HULK Earth Anchors are driven into the ground, not augered or torqued, saving time and money. They are environment friendly as no digging or excavation is required during installation resulting in no disturbance or displacement of the surrounding soil. As part of the installation process, the anchor is proof tested to the desired capacity and is then ready for immediate use. Hulk earth anchors are an effective solution for meeting superior holding capacity requirements.
Installation sequence:
Small hulk earth anchors- sledge hammer is used
Large Anchors- conventional hydraulic and pneumatic percussive, drilling or vibratory equipment which is available worldwide.

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.
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.
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.
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.
The Hulk Deflector protects the anchor tendon from damage while the anchor is being driven into the ground.
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.
Note: Anchor holding capacities are tendon and soil dependent.

All anchors in the Hulk H range have an ultimate strength of 55kN and all 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. 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.

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.
