Rod Lifting Tool
Efficient Rod Extraction for DCP and Mackintosh Probes
This tool can be used with both the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer and the Mackintosh Probe.
It is used to pull rods out of the soil, and is much easier than using mole-grips or similar.
The TT Precision Rod Lifting Tool is an essential accessory for geotechnical site investigations, designed to make extracting rods from the ground quick and easy. It is compatible with both the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) and the Mackintosh Probe, making it a must-have for professionals carrying out soil strength tests and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) evaluations. By giving you a secure grip on the drive rods, it keeps site work productive and helps protect your equipment during retrieval.
A Better Alternative to Mole-Grips
Field technicians often rely on mole-grips or pliers to pull stubborn rods from heavy clay or dense soil. These methods are physically demanding and can score or bend expensive drive rods. The TT Precision Rod Lifting Tool gives better leverage and a secure hold, making it much easier to pull rods out of the soil, reducing fatigue and extending the life of your site investigation equipment.
Built for Demanding Site Conditions
At TT Precision, we understand that ground investigation tools need to withstand the rigours of the field. Our Rod Lifting Tool is built to cope with the high friction often encountered during deep Mackintosh Probe or DCP testing. Whether you are working on a small domestic survey or a large commercial development, it keeps your workflow smooth and efficient, so you can focus on collecting data rather than struggling to retrieve equipment.
