The Tractor mounted CPT and sampling rig utilises a Terrier percussion drill mast, which has been modified so that it can also perform CPT and DMT testing with an automatic anchorage system.
The tractor is a small 4WD diesel powered unit which has excellent off road capability. The drill mast operates from the tractor’s hydraulic PTO.
The rig is transported on a 4WD truck.
