The Airo-Ex Vacuum Earth Extraction
System from Cherry Corporation is what
the company terms the safest way to
remove material from unknown utilities,
obstructions and tree roots, being non-
aggressive and non-invasive.
“
The Airo-Ex Vacuum Earth Extraction
System is a safe system for exposing buried
utilities and tree roots and provides a quick
and clean method of material removal
from these awkward and sensitive areas,”
Cherry Corporation’s John Brittain said.
“
Airo-Ex Vacuum Earth Agitation
Systems use a high velocity column of air
as a method of ground agitation. The high
speed column of air agitates and displaces
porous and semi porous ground conditions
while leaving non-porous objects
unaffected (eg: utilities, services and tree
root systems),” John said.
The Airo-Ex Vacuum Earth Agitation
System’s design allows for different length
and style nozzles being easily interchanged
Vacuum Earth Extraction System
The Airo-Ex Vacuum Earth Extraction System is an
inherently safe system for exposing buried utilities
and tree roots
dependent on ground conditions,
application and excavation depth. The
lance is manufactured from high density
polyethylene making it lightweight
but strong. The Airo-Ex Vacuum Earth
Agitation System allows for extended use
without operator fatigue.
“
When used with its ‘perfect partner’,
Airo-Vactor, the displaced materials are
easily vacuumed away. Having agitated
the ground using the Airo-Ex Vacuum
Earth Agitation System, the Airo-Vactor
system draws the excavated material via
the vacuum digging pipe into a debris pod
where it is separated from the air stream.
While the material is being collected in
the debris pod, the air stream (by then
carrying only minor particles) is moved
through both a five micron filter and
vacuum pumps before being exhausted via
silencers back into the atmosphere.”

Digga has introduced the next
generation of Ezi-Loada ramps which
Digga’s founder and director of research
and development, Stewart Wright said are
the lightest, strongest and most versatile
on the market.
“
The new ramps take advantage of
new designs for increased durability at an
affordable price,” Stewart said.
Two new ramps have been launched,
including the world-first ‘Universal’ Ezi-
Loada dual use ramp, suitable for use
with both rubber tyre and steel tracked
machines and the new ‘Clean Pass’ Ezi-
Loada ramp for rubber tracks and tyres.
Digga ramps are revolutionary for Australian market
Digga ramps are designed for safety, quality and performance and are 15%
lighter and up to 20% more durable.
“
These ramps are 15% lighter and up to
20%
more durable than ramps with older
designs. They are built for earthmoving
machinery and designed for safety, quality
and performance,” Stewart said.
“
Ramp design in Australia hasn’t
changed since steel was the main
material used and even when aluminium
was introduced, designs didn’t change
significantly. ”
The Clean Pass ramps have been
designed with a rung slotting system that
cleans the wheels or tracks as the machine
climbs the ramp, preventing the ribbed
surface from being clogged with debris.
“
A patented,
extruded, ‘double
T’ shape side beam
rail guarantees
exceptional strength
and durability
without adding
weight,” Stewart
said.
“
The profile of the
load-bearing beams,
which establish
the ramp’s load
capacity, guarantees
exceptional bending
strength, up to 20%
higher than other
types of beams used by competitors. On
the Digga ramps, the rungs interlock into
the body of the rail. No physical load is
taken by the weld alone. The welds at top
and bottom add strength, holding the
rung in its fitted position.
“
On the Clean Pass range there is a filled
panel between every second rung, which
is a single piece of aluminium. This adds
strength to the ramp.
“
The Universal ramp rungs are made
from solid aluminium. The start and
finish rungs of the ramp have been
reinforced and the unique design of the
rungs provides the maximum grip for the
machine, protecting the ramp itself and
avoiding any possible slip or loss of grip
during the loading/unloading activity,”
Stewart said.
“
The ramps also attach differently
offering three different methods: a pin,
tongue or chain, for maximum stability
depending on preference and application.
“
The versatility in attachment options
means you can use these ramps beyond
just loading machines into trucks. You
could use them to get a machine over a
low concrete wall, for example, by using
the chain attachment method,” Stewart
said.
