The SplitStone Horizontal horizontal wedge device enables the wedge to be used with an excavator or a similar device. The device has an indicator for the wedging direction and a zoom for pushing the wedge into the drill hole. Wedging can be done to the sides and almost straight up. In excavator using it needs to camera helps to insert to wedge in to the hole.

The wedge cylinder/wedge device can be easily removed from the zoom device and can be used in “normal” vertical wedging tasks, suspended or with the help of a ball-joint quick fix.

The wedge cylinder is an almost standard Octagon model with additional advantages; pressure booster, anti-seize function and automatic lubrication for the upper surfaces of the wedge, which is a more difficult and slower task than manual lubrication.

SplitStone is looking for country resellers

NEW and universal portable booster from SplitStone! The pressure booster has mounted temporary or permanently on a drilling rig to increase the hydraulic pressure to the level required by the wedge cylinder. The booster replaces the electric or internal combustion engine / diesel unit. Hydraulic power is taken directly from the actuator via a booster. The unit operates from a pressure level of 100 bar. The maximum adjustable pressure level for the wedge is 500 bar. Recommended hydraulic flow from the actuator up to 40 l / min. (Also works with higher flow)

As a hydraulic cylinder, we recommend the manual SplitStone SP100 cylinder. Wedge sizes 35, 38 and 45 mm. Wedge lengths 300 mm – 500 mm.
