1 // HammerHead Trenchless 100XTR radio remote system

The HydroBurst 100XTR by HammerHead Trenchless has a 100-ton capability rated for up to 16 inches in diameter, yet it is compact enough for use on pipe down to 4 inches. It comes with an easy-to-learn, easy-to-use radio remote control, freeing operators from the pit to position themselves for the best view of a bursting operation. Lightweight, heat-treated alloy rods feature an API-style joint that resists buckling under the greater thrust loads required by longer burst runs, sweeping bends and encrusted and collapsed lines. Operators can swap power for speed by switching to its 50-ton mode, working up to twice as fast depending on the job’s requirements. Hydraulic leveling jacks allow for making adjustments on the fly as needed, keeping the machine on-grade without interrupting bursting operations. 800-331-6653; www.hammerheadtrenchless.com


2 // General JM-1450 electric water jet

The compact, powerful JM-1450 Jet-Set water jet from General Pipe Cleaners uses high-pressure water to clear drainlines clogged with grease, sand, sludge and ice. Overall height of the water jet is 34 inches, and removing the easily detachable hose reel drops the height to 14 1/2 inches. The heavy-duty frame rides on two 8-inch semipneumatic tires, and the telescoping handle and removable hose reel make maneuvering easy. The JM-1450 is powered by a 1 1/2 hp sealed motor with a GFCI outlet that drives a 1,500 psi, 1.7 gpm triplex pump. On-demand Vibra-pulse technology helps propel hoses down long runs and around tight bends, even in small lines. Safety features include a thermal relief valve to protect the pump from heat damage, a backflow check valve and inlet filter. An optional spray wand is also available. 800-245-6200; www.drainbrain.com


3 // Envirosight ROVVER X SAT II all-in-one lateral system

Envirosight’s new ROVVER X SAT II lateral launch inspection crawler maneuvers around obstacles and challenging pipe geometries to rapidly detect gas line cross bores in sewers and other hard-to-reach defects. The crawler can travel as far as 984 feet down mainlines at speeds up to 98 feet per minute, then launch its camera probe as far as 147 feet down adjoining service connections, at up to 23 feet per minute. The ROVVER X SAT II also features a belt-driven push mechanism that minimizes wear on the push rod while maximizing pushing force. The design, which is easy to clean and has field-replaceable belts, is intended to increase uptime and keep maintenance costs low. Steerable 8-wheel drive makes it easier to move past debris, roots, offsets and protruding taps. During launch, the pan/tilt lateral camera with detachable steering wand navigates through bends and branches in lateral lines. 866-936-8476; www.envirosight.com
