    Specifications

    Our Geoprobe 6622cpt Track Rig is a robust and versatile tool, designed to tackle the most demanding geotechnical exploration challenges. Weighing 8,720 pounds, with a width of 78 inches and a working maximum height of 166 inches, this rig is equipped with 20 tons of push force, making it a go to choice for even the most hard to get to locations. Operating remotely via wireless or tethered controllers, this rig prioritizes safety with a safe stand-off operational distance, allowing maneuvers to be completed without the operator being within the vehicle enclosure. The Geoprobe 6622cpt Track Rig is specially designed for difficult or limited access locations, with low tread pressure that makes it suitable for work in challenging terrains such as tailings, beaches, swamp areas, and rugged landscapes. With its exceptional capabilities, this rig empowers us to conquer the most challenging terrains and gather precise geotechnical data in previously inaccessible locations.
