Pipe Bursting Equipment

Can convert to horizontal boring machine with optional bracket and rods.
Replaces all types of old pipe with any type of new pipe
Pipe bursting heads for 3/4" to 30"
Longer stroke length for faster bursting (30-ton stroke = 16", 40-ton stroke = 14")
Bellies can be removed
Connects to most excavator hydraulic systems to eliminate the need for a portable hydraulic power pack and pull faster or use our portable hydraulic system
Chain and cable pulling machines. Chain grips better, lasts about 20 times longer and can be used in sections. Cable can burst small pipes including water services.
Supported by over 15 years of experience
20 tons to 240 tons of pulling power
No restoration in between pits
Assembles in 40 seconds
Only a 2' x 3' pit needed at pulling end
Curved applications to 45 degrees
Safe near utilities
Hollow cones allows sewer and drainage pipes to remain in service
Low operating and maintenance costs
