AN MTS SUCTION EXCAVATOR KEEPS THE ROOTS FULLY PROTECTED
When soil becomes too compacted, it prevents healthy root growth. Once a tree starts growing its roots upwards and lifting the ground, intervention is essentialto prevent it from dying. A DINO suction excavator from MTS makes this possible without any contact, ensuring maximum protection of the roots.
An MTS suction excavator is the environmentally friendly alternative to digging by hand
A suction excavator from MTS comes with everything you need for gentle root exposure. Its onboard compressor and supplied loosening tools, such as an air lance, gently break up even highly cohesive and compacted soil. With pickaxes, spades or even a conventional excavator, the risk of damaging or even cutting off the root is far too great.
Once loosened, the soil is extracted without any direct contact via a suction hose. Fine rinsing with water is not necessary and would only obstruct the view of the root system.
The extracted soil is sucked into the collecting container integrated in the suction excavator. This makes it easy to dispose of contaminated soil after exposing the roots. If the soil is to be used again for backfilling, it can be easily tipped out using the tipping mechanism.
This makes the suction excavator an environmentally friendly, fast and efficient solution for maintaining root systems and exposing roots for tree transplantation.
MTS suction excavators deliver all this and more in landscaping and tree root maintenance:
- Exposure of tree roots for environmentally friendly tree transplantation
- Exposure of tree roots for assessing root structures and taking supporting measures, such as crown pruning
- Digging of root search trenches to find root structures and speed up excavation in non-critical areas
- Tree and root maintenance by replacing the soil without damaging the root system
- Excavation for planting pits
- Suction of sludge from ponds and habitats
- And much moreā¦
The excavators can also be used for many other applications, such as:
- Cleaning of ditches, road drains, hard shoulders and median strips
- Exposure of infrastructure lines without damaging roots
- Suctioning of flooded basements after a storm
- Suctioning of contaminated material
- Suctioning of residual material from fermentation tanks in biogas plants
- Suctioning of track ballast
- Cleaning tunnel floors
- Removing demolition material
