The invention relates to an anchoring kit for a drilling machine provided with a frame, the anchoring kit including at least a first anchoring module having: a first part including an anchoring device for immobilizing the first part in the soil; a second part including a device for fixing to the frame; and a displacement device for moving the second part relative to the first part along a first direction.

The invention relates to a method for operating a grab system, comprising a carrier device and a cable grab arranged thereon, which cable grab comprises a grab frame, which is held by a retaining cable on the carrier device, at least two grab buckets, which are mounted on a lower end of the grab frame, so as to be able to swivel between a closed position and an open position, and an actuating device with an actuating cable for swivelling the grab buckets, wherein an actuating cable is guided from the carrier device to the actuating device, and the carrier device has a driven first cable winch for the retaining cable and a driven second cable winch for the actuating cable, wherein the carrier device has an undercarriage and an upper carriage, which is mounted thereon for rotation about a vertical axis and has a cantilever arm on which the cable grab is vertically adjustably mounted, wherein in a removal step, in order to form a trench in the ground, the cable grab is lowered into the ground by the retaining cable with the grab buckets open, the grab buckets are closed to remove and collect soil material, the cable grab is pulled out of the ground by the retaining cable and swiveled to an emptying position, in which the grab buckets are opened to discharge the collected soil material, by rotating the upper carriage, and then the cable grab is moved back into the ground trench to repeat the removal step. In accordance with the invention, a control device is provided with which a rotation of the upper carriage to the emptying position and an opening and closing of the grab buckets to discharge the soil material or a rotation of the upper carriage from the emptying position back to the ground trench are controlled automatically.

A bucket raising/lowering and opening/closing device (11) of a deep foundation excavator (1) includes a raising/lowering cylinder (12), a first raising/lowering sheave (14) and a first opening/closing sheave (15) that move in an expansion/contraction direction of the raising/lowering cylinder (12), a second raising/lowering sheave (17), a second opening/closing sheave (20), an opening/closing cylinder (18) that moves the second opening/closing sheave (20) to be closer to and to be separated from the first opening/closing sheave (15), a raising/lowering rope (24) that is wound around the first raising/lowering sheave (14) and the second raising/lowering sheave (17), and an opening/closing rope (25) that is wound around the first opening/closing sheave (15) and the second opening/closing sheave (20). In addition, provided are a slack adjustment cylinder (26) that expands and contracts to adjust the slack of the opening/closing rope (25), and a slack adjustment sheave (28) that moves in a direction of being closer to and being separated from the second opening/closing sheave (20) in response to an expansion/contraction movement of the slack adjustment cylinder (26).
