English translation:perforated excavation cylinder
Explanation:
Some context on the type of manufacturer would be nice. This could be some type of auger for collecting core samples or it could be some digging tool for makes holes for posts or piles. "Perforated" if it has multiple holes on the side, or "open" if it just has openings at one or both ends.
The cylinder could also be a hydraulic cylinder for driving a tool to dig holes and excavate.

sampling cylinder with an opening


Explanation:
発掘シリンダー may be the same as 採取シリンダー(sampling cylinder) because 発掘 usually involves サンプル採取 and a cylinder is used for taking a sample. By default, a sampling cylinder should come with an opening. So, I'm not sure if 穴あき needs to be translated into English.
