Lifting sets for drilling equipment - Light

Augering by hand (manpower) at greater depths is usually perceived as very strenuous as the augering gets deeper or the augers that are used have a larger diameter. Yet, in order to use heavier soil augers and / or soil core sampling equipment as efficiently and ergonomically correct as possible, it is desirable to use all sorts of lifting tools. Our program provides for this need by means ...

Lost cone drilling method

Drilling a bore hole is often combined with sampling and describing a profile. If both these activities are not necessary during the drilling procedure then drilling can be executed fast and efficient applying the so-called lost cone drilling method. Eijkelkamp Agrisearch Equipment developed a manually controlled set using an electrical percussion hammer to hammer the lost cone and the ...

Percussion drilling

Because of the mobility of the percussion drilling equipment and its ready capacity to solve problems, percussion drilling equipment has earned its place beside standard hand drilling equipment.
