LMSR dynamic probing rig - the proven alternative

for light, medium and heavy sounding in accordance to DIN 4094

LMSR - Dynamic probing rigs are available in

different versions:

LMSR-Vk with 4 stroke combustion engine

foldable mast

LMSR-Ek with electric motor for outdoor and indoor use

foldable mast

LMSR-Hk with hydraulic motor, Ex-proof

for hazardous areas
foldable mast

SPT-V75k SPT (DPSH) version: please refer to EB01-50

below: LMSR- Vk (foldable) in transport condition

The rig can be transported manually on robust pneumatic-tyred wheels. At the probing point the mast is erected and is
set up to the dead vertical position by means of two spindles and an air bubble level.
Various rod systems according to local standards can be employed, a blow counter helps with taking the reading.
The conversion to light (DP-L), medium (DP-M) or heavy (DP-H) dynamic probing procedures is quickly achieved by
mounting or removing of additional drop weight bodies.
The drop weight assembly is lifted by means of a rope winch with hand crank.
For easy transportation in box-type vans, elevators etc. the foldable mast versions are recommendable.

Also for WINDOW SAMPLING up to 80 mm !

Sampling is carried out by using window sampling tubes or slotted probing

rods which are driven into the soil with the 50 kg drop weight at a drop height
of 50 cm.
For the extension the ordinary rods can be used.

LMSR-Vk dynamic probing rig

for light (DP-L), medium (DP-M) and heavy (DP-H) dynamic sounding with Honda engine

This unit is powered by a reliable 4-stroke petrol engine which transmits ist revolutions through a
centrifugal clutch and a robust gearbox to the rotating chain integrated in the mast body. Thus the
unit is independent from other energy sources and can be operated everywhere.
The number of blows per minute (between 15 and 30) is controlled by adjusting the engine speed
at the throttle lever.

LMSR-Hk dynamic probing rig

for light (DP-L), medium (DP-M) and heavy (DP-M) dynamic probing with hydraulic motor

This unit is powerded by a hydraulic motor and features the

same specification as the preceeding LMSR-Vk units.
The hydraulic drive motor can be run on a separate hydraulic
power pack which at the same time serves to control the
extraction jack for rod pulling operations. Vehicle pumps or
other sources of hydraulic power can also be employed. A
special advantage of this version is the fact that during rod
change or similar the drop weight mechanism is lifted by
hydraulic power instead of using a hand crank.
