New Geotechnical Drill Addresses Automatic Hammer Demand
Automatic Hammers said to Offer Improved Depth Control
In an effort to provide a user-friendly drilling solution for penetration tests and soil sampling, Lone Star has rolled out the new LST1G+HDA geotechnical drill. Lone Star designed the rig to address the growing demand for automatic hammers that deliver improved depth control compared to manual hammers.
“Automatic hammers help to ensure accurate depth control compared to manual hammers. This has even led some states and jurisdictions to require automatic hammers for conducting standard penetration tests,” says Joe Haynes, Little Beaver president. “The LST1G+HDA eliminates user error and makes it easy for drill operators of any experience level to take samples quickly and accurately.”
