Introduction The A.P. van den Berg CPT (Cone Penetration Test) Truck is an ideal vehicle to provide soil investigations in capacities from 140 to 200 kN. A.P. van den Berg's main goal has been to improve the CPT flexibility, quality and production rates, while providing economy, user-friendliness and ease-of-maintenance. |

Truck
Over the years we have built numerous custom-made Cone Penetration Test Trucks and we have experience with many different trucks and models. The all-wheel drive 4x4 and 6x6 models have proven most popular among customers. Before we install the CPT test cabin and equipment, we build a sub frame on the truck's own frame to absorb Cone Penetration Test reaction forces. The truck's weight is sufficient to provide the maximum pushing force, eliminating the extra time and effort needed to use reaction anchors. The truck's diesel engine powers the hydraulics for the Cone Penetration Test. The CPT work cabin and Cone Penetration Test equipment can be supplied with the truck at our factory in the Netherlands or assembled on the truck at the customer's shop.
Three or four hydraulic jacks are mounted to the sub frame for lifting and levelling the Cone Penetration Test Truck. Operated in the same manner as the penetrometer, the jacks are controlled by push buttons or hand-operated valves on a HMI touch screen, which also features an optional one-touch automatic levelling button. |

A spacious and comfortable Cone Penetration Test work cabin offers a protected space to the operators and CPT equipment. Made of steel, fibreglass or plywood laminates, the cabin is designed for maximum production, and can be fitted with work benches, a desk, chairs, cabinets, equipment storage, electric power, phone, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, washing and cooking facilities, and more. Our cabin designs promote safe operations, offer reduced noise levels and permit high production rates.
