Rod carrier, handler, and indexing racks create virtually hands-free operation for sonic drillers, eliminating need to muscle large rods, reducing crew fatigue, and increasing production.
1. POWER:
Designed and manufactured by Geoprobe®, the 50,000-pound dynamic force GV5 sonic head has the power to advance up to 12-inch tooling. And with 4,000 ft-lbf at 90 rpm, the 2-speed rotary drive has the torque needed to maintain rotation in tight formations.
"It has the necessary power to drill deeper holes or power through shallow borings. It has the power to compete with other manufacturers out there. I’ve used all of the different sonic tooling, and the Geoprobe® tooling is matched up nicely to transfer energy to the bit so it drills well. Having the same manufacturer means I can get everything — rig, tooling, service parts — from one place." - Dennis Mayer, Drilling Operations Manager, AARCO Environmental Services Corporation, New Jersey
2. SUPPORT:
Investing in an engineered Geoprobe® sonic rig and tooling system comes with training and service support — where one phone call gets you whatever you need.
- Purchase includes factory training on rig operation and maintenance.
- Integrated systems display provides real-time analysis and built-in diagnostic tools so our sonic team can remotely troubleshoot. Built-in redundancy on key components means finishing the day, addressing the issue at one of our multiple service centers when convenient.
- Class leading 3-year/1,000-hour warranty on GV5 sonic head and standard Geoprobe® one-year unlimited hour warranty on machine chassis.
3. SONIC DRILLERS' EASE AND EFFICIENCY:
- Centerline head side shift gives easy access to rod string ID.
- Hands-free auto drop hammer keeps drillers out of harm's way.
- Quickly shift from sonic to auto drop hammer or high-speed coring head without moving drill mast.
- Rod carrier, handler, and indexing racks create virtually hands-free operation, eliminating need to muscle large rods, reducing crew fatigue, and increasing production.
- Swing-arm and adjustable height control panel gets operator as close or far from the rod string as needed.
- Compact 8150LS fits inside a 40-foot shipping container for international transportation and fits into tight urban job sites.
