Bucket Trucks

Auger trucks are the slang for digger trucks like digger derricks or pressure diggers, similar to cherry pickers being slang for bucket trucks/lift trucks. Auger trucks are used across several industries and allow jobs to be completed much more efficiently and safely.

For most people, when they mention auger trucks, they are talking about a pressure digger. A pressure digger is a specific digging apparatus that is used to drill holes in various matrices.

Digger derricks are the other meaning for auger trucks. Digger derricks are primarily used in the electric line/ telecommunications industry for digging holes (and sometimes setting poles). Digger derricks use a bigger/wider auger and spin out dirt slowly. They typically don't dig as deeply as pressure diggers.
