Air Spade 2000 - ATP Catalog 2009

Page 1

AIR-SPADE® 2000 The Air Spade is used to excavate soil without damaging underground root systems or utilities. Faster and less damaging than a pick and shovel, the air spade uses compressed air to remove overlying soil with less effort and time. It uses a standard air compressor operating at 90 psi to generate wind speeds of 1200 mph. Using an advanced air-jet to dig rather than conventional tools or water offers a number of advantages in vacuum excavation including: • Air digging tools generate less worker fatigue / injuries than a pick or shovel. • In most soils, excavating with air is much faster than hand digging. • A pick and shovel are not damage free tools; while air is non-damaging to all kinds of buried utilities. • Air breaks soil into small pieces that are ideal for recompaction. • High pressure water jets are dangerous to operators since they can cut through clothes or work boots. • Soil excavated with water becomes mud that is considered contaminated and becomes a disposal problem costing time and money. • Compressed air comes free from the atmosphere on the job site.
