Probe Technologies, Inc. - Probe Units
|
|
Probe Technologies, Inc. owns, maintains, and operates two
Geoprobe® soil probing units.
|
 GEOPROBE® Model 5400 Originally
built by Geoprobe Systems in 1994. This unit was totally refurbished in
January 2002 and mounted on a 2002 Ford F350 single rear wheel four by
four diesel powered pick-up. This hydraulically powered probe unit can
supply over 21,000 lbs of downward force and greater than 25,000 lbs of
retraction force. The truck is equipped with a 65 gallon water tank for
sufficient decontamination and rear work lights for times when working
late or inside dark buildings. This unit is extensively used for
collecting soil and groundwater samples and installing micro monitoring
wells.

 GEOPROBE® Model 540MT
Purchased in November of 2002, this hydraulic probe unit performs the same functions as the larger probe machines.
This mobile unit can be deployed in extremely hard to reach and narrow locations by means of rolling on its three wheels.
This unit has a 2-inch ball hitch that allows us to pull the probe around the work site with a small off-road vehicle.
When folded, the unit is less than 30 inches high. This unit is only 36inches wide.
The rear wheel and handle pivot 360 degrees to deliver the tightest turning radius possible.
This unit features 54 inch stroke to accommodate 4 foot probe rods and uses the macro-core® soil sampler.
The hydraulic power is supplied by a remote power unit, which may be as far as 100 feet from the probe itself.
This unit works especially well inside buildings such as dry cleaners, machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and other areas where a truck-mounted rig cannot be used.
