The WHIZITUP - Self Propelled Auger

THE WHIZITUP – Self Propelled Auger

Australian Made and Built to Last!

Our Tow Away, Ready to Go WHIZITUP Augers have superior features integrated into a robust design at a price you can afford!

We currently manufacture 46 ft and 53 ft Whizitup Augers in either 9″ or 9.5″ diameter.
For optimal output efficiency the auger screw is mechanically driven via auger-top driveshaft; while hydraulic power makes operating the wheel drive, twin jockey wheel steering, winch and tail lift a breeze. The hot dip galvanising ensures all surfaces are coated preventing any rust. Complete with motor and poly hopper these “off the shelf” augers are an easy to use, affordable and durable solution for your grain handling requirements.

TAKE A TOUR of our SELF PROPELLED WHIZITUP AUGER!!
This auger is mechanically driven through a 30hp reversible gearbox and driveshaft along the auger top, with Hydraulic power operating the wheel drive, steering, winch and tail lift.
INTERNAL AUGER
5mm Heavy duty Double start Segmented flighting at pickup with 4mm Flihard continuous flighting for remaining length of auger, fully stretched and welded to 40NB medium wall pipe shaft.
The auger is centered and supported in a cage frame which has a replaceable bronze bush. The cage frame is fitted with a secondary mesh safety guard which is readily detachable to allow access into a silo boot.
TOW HITCH
A removable tow hitch with ball coupling is included. You can remove the ball coupling and tow with a draw-bar pin as well. The Picture above also shows an inlet choke which is available as an optional extra.
STRAPLESS HOPPER
The detachable hopper is quick and easy to use, and best of all... No annoying straps!!
Clamp On Emergency stop button fitted with bumper guard is located near pickup and is able to be rotated to your preferred position for manoeuvring under silos.
AUGER BARREL
The Auger Casing is High tensile 2mm Spiral welded tube, which is Hot Dip Galvanized after all welding is completed.
PICKLE PORT
1" BSP Fitting for Chemical Application.
ENGINE FRAME / MOTOR MOUNT
A self-levelling platform pivots beneath the barrel and is fitted with an eccentric cam lever to tighten/loosen the belts and set the gearbox drive in motion. Hydraulic Power for the wheel drive, steering, winch and tail lift comes from a pump mounted onto a gearbox drive shaft. The Fuel Tank is Quick release for offsite refueling.
REVERSIBLE GEARBOX
A 30HP Reversible Gearbox allows for ease of cleaning out the auger and is fitted with a handle to easily select Forward and Reverse positions. The Neutral position may be selected to provide hydraulic power without rotating the auger.
MECHANICAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY
A hard plastic cover encases the pulley and belt drive assembly. Bolts attaching the cover allow for easy maintenance access. Full Stainless Steel exhaust system custom made for longevity.
MECHANICAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY
Drive is transferred from the motor to the drive shaft by fully covered taperlock pulleys and double B section belts to the right angle 30HP reversible gearbox on top of the barrel.
HYDRAULIC WINCH
A hydraulically driven automatic brake winch with 8mm Galvanised wire is used for raising and lowering the auger.
TWO PIECE ASSEMBLY
Heavy duty flanges (hot dip galvanized after welding) align and join the barrels together. This two piece assembly also makes future repairs a cheaper option, as you may only need to purchase half an auger barrel to fix your damage.
DRIVE SHAFT
1" solid bar drive shaft positioned on top of the barrel with replaceable self centering ball bearings and a removable galvanized pressed metal safety cover. The lift arm slider assembly rolls freely on steel wheels with bronze bushes and is locked into the slider tracks.
UNDERCARRIAGE
The Self Propelled undercarriage is a heavy duty robust design, with Arms manufactured from 75x50x4mm & 100x50x5mm RHS, and the Axle manufactured from 125x65 channel. All undercarriage pieces are now hot dip galvanised after welding has taken place. Wheels are Landcruiser trailer 16", six stud plus Twin Jockey wheels with Galvanised Ford 14" rims.
A Hydraulic ram raises and lowers the tail (pickup end) of the auger
The tail lift Hydraulic ram also raises the jockey wheels into a safe transport position.
With the jockey wheels raised in transport position a special bracket locks the tripod frame in place preventing hydraulic creep and also supporting the auger tube while travelling, preventing flex and bouncing.
Independent Levers are easy to use for the Hydraulic system. Toolbox, Fire Extinguisher and Manual are all within reach of the stand on operating platform.
JOCKEY WHEELS AND STEERING
The Jockey axle and steering assembly would have to be the heaviest duty and most user friendly available on the market, including twin 14" Ford jockey wheels that are steered hydraulically.
HYDRAULIC WHEEL DRIVE
Heavy Duty Self Propelled hydraulic wheel drive system, so easy to use!! Single spring loaded lever engages and disengages both wheels. The Hopper has it's own storage position for safe transport.
The Landcruiser Trailer 16", six stud wheels are Hydraulically driven via heavy duty 12mm ring gear for long life and hassle free maintenance.
OUTLET SHUTE
An angled transition assists grain to exit into the 90 degree outlet shute, helping prevent backup.
50x5 Angle iron bump guard protection on the underside of barrel.
DRIVE MECHANISM
For ease of maintenance and weather protection, a removable plastic safety cover encases the sprocket drive system.
DRIVE MECHANISM
Removable end plate holding the top bearing assembly allows easy removal of the auger from the barrel. Drive is transferred to the auger shaft by taperlock sprockets and 3/4" chain.
WIRE STAYS
6mm galvanised wire rope stays help support the longer augers.
Side Profile of the SP Undercarriage with the jockey wheels raised in transport position.
BALANCE
The Whizitup auger is beautifully balanced and sturdy. Shown here in complete horizontal position, great for ease of Maintenance. No need to stand on that ladder!
WHIZITUP SELF PROPELLED AUGERS
Available in 9" and 9.5" Diameters, 46ft or 51ft long.
Basic version without hydraulics also available.
