Installation

The experienced team at DirtWhacker can assist with all of your DirtWhacker installation requirements.

Before installation we undertake a review of your current equipment and setup to ensure a smooth transition through to one of our products.  Installation is performed by our team of highly trained technicians and backed with both equipment and workmanship guarantee.  The existing scrapers are removed, any modifications required are made to the side chute openings, DirtWhacker brackets installed, DirtWhacker scrapers installed, adjusted and air pressure settings and tested. We either use the manual air system or we convert to an automating air regulator, ensuring that the air pressure inside the bladder remains at a constant pressure allowing for optimum performance at all times.
