Welcome to the Digga blog

Ovarian Cancer Awareness month February is ovarian cancer awareness month and a cause very close to home for the team at Digga Australia. Yesterday (22.02.2018) the Digga community raised over $15,000 for Ovarian Cancer Australia following a full day of fundraising activities at their facilities in Yatala, Queensland. Digga would like to thank the entire Digga community for getting involved and taking part in this amazing cause - we could not have done it alone. Ovarian Cancer Australia Ovarian Cancer Australia provides vital services for women living with ovarian cancer and raises awareness of the disease. Every year thousands of Australian women are diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer, the deadliest form of cancer. Contrary to what many people believe, a pap test will not detect ovarian cancer, there is currently no early detection test.

Level cut excavations Doug Sparkes is the owner of family run business Level Cut Excavations in Hastings, Victoria. His company can do any kind of earth moving or excavation and specialise in screw piles and bored piers. Doug uses the Digga PD12 fitted with a standard double pin hitch connected to his 5.5 tonne Kubota excavator. To install screw piles to a max torque of 11,268Nm Doug had the Digga ECV retrofitted to his drive. Digga ECV Also known as the swoosh valve, the ECV turns a standard auger drive into a screw anchor drive. In doing so, it protects the gearbox and motor in your drive from the rapid decompression of oil and pressure build up after achieving required torque.  By the time installation torque is reached and the operator stops the machine, the screw pile has built up rotational energy - similar to a rubber band on a wind up model aeroplane. This can cause the pile to momentarily 'kick back' and force the energy back up the screw pile through...

In recent years Australian manufacturing has being said to be in decline with retailers, producers and end users opting for cheaper, foreign imported goods. Some of Australia’s largest brands are fighting cheap international ‘copycat’ brands and competition from low-cost competitors in China, India, Vietnam and Thailand has sent many Australian manufacturers into decline. Ford, General Motors Holden and Toyota have closed their Australian plants, costing many jobs at local component and accessory makers and suppliers. For Digga Australia, keeping Australian manufacturing alive and continually developing jobs and trades within Australia, is key in keeping customers loyal to the brand and pivotal in future success of the business. Following the devastating fire at the facility and head office in Queensland almost 2 years ago, the company could have easily turned to outsourcing manufacturing overseas. Instead the owner’s dedication to Australia manufacturing and keeping jobs loca...
