Grab / Dredge

This scaled-down sampler gives a whole new meaning to the word “petite.” We mean it can be easily carried by one person in one hand.

• Lighter by half than standard Ponar
• Designed for hand line operation
• Removable top screens
• Self-releasing pinch-pin, heavy duty hinges
• Extra weights available for more penetration
• Center pivot for low bottom disturbance

You may still need good muscle mass, but, since it weighs under 25 pounds, you can use it on a line without the winch and crane recommended for the larger version. This dredge shares the same basic design as our standard Ponar® sampler with stainless-steel construction. Uses 3/16”+ line or 61-B14 cable. Available with or without case. Ship wt: 28 lbs w/ case Materials: 316 stainless steel and/ or plated steel Fasteners, screen: 18-8 stainless steel Weight & volume: 6.8 kg (24 lb) weight; 2.4 Liter volume Total weight: 14 kg (28 lb) Sample area: 152 x 152 mm (6 x 6”) Available separately: 910-G26 plastic carry case
