This valuable clamp, unsurpassed in its reliable performance, can be utilised with any GeoMil hydraulic twin ram penetrometer pusher. Also, selected pusher models from third party manufacturers can be up-graded.
Depending on the respective pusher load range and model type, the mounting flange and locking screw may vary while the clamp body and clamping blocks are always identical.
Two sets of displacement plates allow for adjusting the jaw spacing when pushing/pulling sounding tubes (36 mm) or casing tubes (55 mm). The clamping blocks are rotated for pulling or pushing by use of the the front levers (see picture).
Sliding bars underneath the clamp, hold in place by the displacement plates, provide a twin-radius opening (36 mm and 55 mm) so that the tubes are centered before entering the clamp (in general combined with the guiding tube positioned in the respective sounding beam of a pusher). This way the tube string remains free of tension while passing through the clamp. Hence, the clamp can be released at any time and no excessive forces are required to free the string.
Each clamp comes with a bottle of high-grade Teflon oil, best to lubricate the gliding surfaces from time to time.
