Pneumatic Soil Pick Rental

Description

A pneumatic soil pick breaks and loosens soil with a jet of compressed air and a blunt tip, so it moves dirt without cutting what is buried in it. That makes it the tool for digging around tree roots, live utilities and anything else a shovel or a backhoe would damage.

What It Gets Used For
  • Excavating around tree roots without severing them
  • Root collar excavation and root pruning
  • Potholing and daylighting live utilities
  • Digging in tight or sensitive ground
Is This an Air Spade

Air Spade is a brand name for this type of tool. Ours is a pneumatic soil pick that does the same job - if an air spade is what you were told to bring, this is the right rental.

What You Will Need With It
  • An air compressor and hose - it takes real volume, so ask us to size it
  • A vacuum or shovel crew to clear the loosened spoil
Related
  • 185 and 375 cfm towable air compressors
  • Air hose, whip checks and fittings
  • Breaker steel, moil points and chisels
