Dormer Soil Samplers products

This unit was designed in the 1950’s, specifically to sample minerals in deep sand deposits. However, more and more are being purchased to fulfil a variety of other tasks.

The Extension Rods are available in steel or aluminium or stainless steel with either coarse thread or hex/pin connection.

The Capstan is used to replace the T-handle when insufficient clearances prevent the T-handle from being used. The Capstan allows short movements by incremental turns using our Tommy Bars in the holes in the Capstan. Made of aluminium or steel.

This soil auger was developed primarily for its easy to clean features when used in sticky wet soils. The wider side openings, new tip and cutter design make the difference. The wider side openings reduced the augers rigidity so it has been shortened by approximately 100mm to 350mm. NOTE: This weakens the auger so it is not suitable for use in normal or hard soils. The modified spiral tip has superior penetration capabilities in soft wet soils. The auger is available in head only or shanked to 1.0 metre.
