Improved Protection for Tree Root Balls
As the manufacturers of the Vulcan Rootball Fixing Kit and Overhead Guying Kit we are always looking at ways to improve our systems to make them better.
The root ball fixing kit gives newly planted root balls and containerised trees all the support they need to withstand any winds or natural lean while they settle into place without the need for any ugly over ground support. They are quick and easy to install and perfect to give that pristine finish.
The overhead guying kit can also be used for new trees planted in areas exposed to extreme winds or it can be used on established trees that are starting to lean over and can be used for trees up to 20 meters in height.
Our latest development has been to improve the design of the rubber root ball protector. We have made the rubber wider overall so it distributes the load of the wire more evenly across the root ball as well as making the centre channel larger so it can be used with different sized wires. This means that it is also able to replace our old bark protectors for the overhead guying kits. The open channel makes the system easier and quicker to put together as there is no need to try and thread the wire through a small hole.
The wider surface area also makes the rubber easier to manipulate into the shape you need and is not as stiff.
You can purchase our root ball fixing and overhead guying kits direct from HERE or FIND OUT MORE on the different systems available.

What Is a Vulcan Earth Anchor?
A Vulcan Earth Anchor® is a percussion driven mechanical ground anchor. It can also be referred to as an Earth Anchor or Percussion Anchor.
Vulcan Earth Anchors are used as a cost effective and rapidly installed system to provide a positive force on a verity or projects.
The Vulcan Earth Anchor range was designed by Anchor Systems (International) Ltd as a simple, reliable and cost-effective ground anchoring solution with the ability to provide immediate loading capacities from 1 – 450kN in displaceable ground conditions with extensive applications.
The concept involves a specially designed earth anchor with a larger surface area, attached to high yield tie bars or tendons to suit a variety of conditions, being driven into the ground where it is locked in position. The tensile load is applied, and the exposed end locked off and terminated.
With their ease of use and speed of installation, Vulcan Earth Anchors provide a time and cost saving alternative to more traditional means of anchoring, particularly where tight programme schedules are involved. This combined with the wide range of sizes available means that the Vulcan Earth Anchor has gained recognition across a vast array of applications internationally.

Design
We work with several Consultant Engineers that support us in providing fully indemnified designs for your projects whilst taking into account the most cost-effective solutions.
When deciding which systems to use on your projects we will always look at conducting a site test so we can be sure that you get the correct product needed and will determine what plant is required for you to complete the job.

Training & On-Site Support
We offer bespoke training for our entire product and plant range which can take place either at our head office in West Sussex or on site. This training will then allow your team to install our products themselves which depending on the size of your project could save you a significant amount of money.
As well as training and design, our on-site support has always been a key service to our clients. We can offer additional advice on site as well toolbox talks and site specific advice, we usually attend for the first day(s) of the installation just to offer some tips and advice and make sure that everyone installing is happy in a practical setting with handling the anchors and equipment.
