PierTech™ Standard Helical Drive Heads were engineered with one purpose in mind: installing helical piers and piles. Unlike other equipment manufacturers who primarily design for augering applications, PierTech™ was built by engineers who live and breathe the foundation industry.
Because we understand the real-world challenges of installing helical piers—from variable soils to tight jobsite conditions—our drive heads are designed to deliver maximum torque, control, and reliability. Every component is built for the demands of deep foundation work, not just earth drilling.
This focus ensures PierTech™ drive heads operate at the highest efficiency rates and maintain dependable performance year after year. When you buy from PierTech™, you’re not just purchasing equipment—you’re investing in a system designed by experts who know exactly what it takes to get helical piers into the ground, quickly and safely.

The future of foundation installation is here. The PierTech™ HALO is a rugged, field-ready alignment system integrated directly into the hood ring of your drive head. No screens, no distractions—just instant visual feedback right where you need it.
Using a band of LED lights, HALO guides operators to perfect plumb. When the lights glow solid green, you’re on target. If the drive shifts, a sequence of red and green indicators makes it simple to correct— keeping your piles straight, safe, and precise.
Lights are green when plumb
Lights become red as you move further from plumb
