<p>Mobile metal foundation installation apparatus and method are disclosed including a push-it carriage (2) movably supported through controllable positioning to push a metal foundation into the ground by hydraulic cylinders pushing against a header frame held and secured in adjustable positions on a mobile tower (15). After the hydraulic cylinders extend to a maximum extension, the pushing reaction bar can be advanced to a lower position in the side frame of the tower. An auger (4) is aligned below the push-it carriage to drill in advance of pushing the metal foundation into the ground in one step. Outboard satellite anchors (57) hold down the mobile tower when the foundation is pushed into the ground. A second auger (80) mounted and detachable on a crane drills holes for the outboard satellite anchors. The second auger can swing laterally to dig a left or right side outboard or satellite anchor hole. An extensible satellite anchor augering guide and anchor structural support (62) extends and retracts on both sides of the mobile tower.</p> |
