HammerHead Trenchless PortaBurst PB30X unit
HammerHead Trenchless released the newest addition to its product line, the PortaBurst PB30X. The PB30X is a portable, cost-effective and efficient method of replacing 2- to 6-inch lateral pipes in a minimum amount of time, with up to 30 tons of pulling force. Along with being lighter than HammerHead’s previous downhole unit, the PB30X prioritizes portability and breaks down into three components, allowing for easy carrying into basements and overall transportation of the unit. The unit can burst sewer laterals and slit water and gas services. To accompany the new PB30X, HammerHead Trenchless has also released a new hydraulic control unit, the PB13X. The PB13X comes equipped with a new tethered controller or optional wireless controller to allow the operator to be close to the pit while the control unit is further away. 800-331-6653; www.hammerheadtrenchless.com
