Helical Piers Inc.

Helical Piers Inc. is a helical pile manufacturer in Winsted, Minnesota. Its site says its roots go back to the 1960s, when a family began making drill rods and later took on in-hole tools as a second generation.

The company says it focuses on a patented connection design and on long-term customer relationships, and describes itself as aiming to be a low-cost, high-quality helical manufacturer. The site has product and applications pages. The specific pile sizes, certifications and distribution are not detailed in the portion reviewed, so ask the company directly.

Helical Piers Inc. sells to installers, distributors and contractors rather than serving homeowners directly. Contact it through the site or by phone. Ask for technical data, ICC or other evaluation reports, shaft sizes and torque ratings, and where stock is held. Homeowners should ask their installer which manufacturer's piles they use.
