AIRSPADE 4000 UTILITY SERIES KIT 150 CFM pneumatic excavation tool
Pneumatic excavation tool for work near underground utilities and technical infrastructure || Supersonic nozzle 4.2 m³/min (150 cfm) || Insulated barrel approx. 1.2 m + extension 0.9 m || Non-sparking design (bronze) || Kit weight approx. 19 kg
AIRSPADE 4000 Utility Series Kit is a pneumatic excavation tool designed for work in technical infrastructure, especially near underground utilities. It is intended for safe exposure of cables, pipelines and other elements without risk of damage.
The tool uses a supersonic nozzle that creates a narrowly focused high-speed air jet. The jet effectively breaks up soil while solid objects such as cables or pipes remain intact.
The model is equipped with a nickel-aluminium bronze nozzle (non-sparking material) and other components in a non-sparking design, allowing use in environments with explosion risk or near gas lines.
The kit includes an insulated fiberglass barrel (approx. 1.2 m) and an extension approx. 0.9 m, enabling deeper work or a safer distance from the excavation. The barrel is electrically insulated and suitable for work near electrical lines.
The ergonomic handle is equipped with a pressure gauge, dead-man trigger and trigger guard. The design allows precise control even when wearing gloves.
The set also includes a 45° adapter, flexible air hose and transport case.
