AIRSPADE 5000 ARBOR SERIES KIT 150 CFM pneumatic excavation tool
Pneumatic excavation tool for arborist work and non-destructive root exposure || Supersonic nozzle 4,2 m³/min (150 CFM) || Barrel length approx. 1.2 m || Ergonomic in-line handle || Complete kit including hose and accessories
AIRSPADE 5000 Arbor Series Kit is a pneumatic excavation tool designed for professional arborist work. It is suitable for vertical mulching, root exposure, radial trenching and soil aeration without risking damage to the root system.
The tool uses a supersonic nozzle made of extruded stainless steel, which creates a focused air stream exceeding Mach 2. The air stream efficiently breaks up soil while leaving roots and other solid structures undamaged.
Two performance variants are available for different applications. The 150 CFM (4.2 m³/min) version is suitable for precision work and smaller compressors, while the 225 CFM (6.4 m³/min) version provides higher performance for work in compacted or demanding soils.
The in-line handle is ergonomically designed for a vertical grip, providing better control during precise arborist work. Its lightweight aluminium construction allows comfortable handling even when wearing gloves and reduces operator fatigue.
The tool is equipped with a dead-man trigger, trigger guard and integrated pressure gauge for real-time monitoring of the working pressure. Connection is provided by a 3/4" NPT inlet with swivel universal coupling, making it easier to connect the tool to a compressor.
The kit includes an insulated fiberglass barrel approx. 1.2 m long with an adjustable rubber debris shield. It also contains an auxiliary handle, 45° adapter for confined spaces and a flexible air hose.
The construction combines aluminium, stainless steel and fiberglass, providing low weight, durability and a long service life in daily use.
