Stone Picker & Stone Removal Equipment Hire

Stones can create problems across a wide range of projects, from agricultural land improvement to landscaping and the reinstatement of construction sites. Earthworks, trenching and cultivation can also bring previously buried stones to the surface, leaving substantial areas requiring further preparation.

Mechanical stone picking provides an efficient way of tackling the problem.

AMTEC Hire offers specialist stone picker hire for projects where stones and debris need to be removed from the soil. The machinery collects stones while retaining the surrounding soil, allowing larger areas to be cleared far more efficiently than would normally be possible by hand.

Stone picking can form part of a wider ground preparation process. Compacted or disturbed soil can first be cultivated to loosen the surface and expose unwanted material. Stones can then be removed before the land undergoes final preparation, seeding and consolidation.

Applications range from improving agricultural fields to preparing landscaping schemes, restoring land following construction, habitat creation and remediation projects.

A stone picker is also a good example of specialist machinery that many businesses only require occasionally. Hiring provides access to the equipment for the duration of the job without the capital cost, maintenance and storage associated with ownership.
