Lightweight penetrometer
The device is used to measure the penetration resistance in geotechnical investigations. In dynamic probing, the probing rod with a pre-screwed, defined impact point is driven into the subsurface by the drop weight with pre-defined falling height. During this process, the penetration depth and the number of impacts are recorded.
Dynamic probing tests can be conducted quickly and are suitable for a general assessment of the subsurface´s strength.
The advantages of the lightweight penetrometer lie in its robust construction and the ability for one person to operate it.

Handcart SH
The steerable 2‑axle handcart SH with a sturdy welded steel construction is suitable for transporting the lightweight penetrometer from STITZ.
For transportation, you can use either the aluminum transport box supplied with the lightweight penetrometer or alternatively, the plastic transport crate.
The handcart can be disassembled into four easily storable individual parts. These parts can be stored in the aluminum transport box together with the lightweight penetrometer.
