Standard Ponar Grab

Widely used in fresh and salt water for taking samples of hard bottoms such as sand, gravel, consolidated marl or clay

Widely used in fresh and salt water for taking samples of hard bottoms (sand, gravel, consolidated marl or clay), this deliberately heavy device bites deep into the bottom for recovering invertebrates. Heavy duty hinges and hinge pin absorb thousands of impacts. Self-closing scoops have centre pivot action. When the scoops strike the bottom, their tapered cutting edges penetrate with very little sample disturbance. An attached underlip wipes the scoop clean of pebbles and cobble that would interfere with closing. Removable side plates prevent the lateral loss of sample as scoops close.

This self-closing sampler uses our patented spring-loaded Pinch-Pin™ that releases when cable slackens. A safety pin replaces the Pinch-Pin™ when not in use to prevent injury. Removable top screens with neoprene flaps allow water to flow through scoops during descent, decreasing the risk of surface disturbance. Economy version has zinc-plated steel arms and stainless-steel scoop. All-stainless version is best for severe conditions.

Crane and winch recommended due to working weight.

• Centre pivot for low bottom disturbance
