Pipe Thruster UNI-PF200

The UNI-PF200 pipe thruster rig is a specialized piece of equipment used in trenchless pipe installation and pipe-jacking operations. It is designed to provide controlled thrust forces to drive pipes through soil or other ground materials without the need for open trenches. The rig applies axial force to the pipe, pushing it forward while keeping the alignment accurate, essential for precision installations. Commonly used in microtunneling or horizontal directional drilling (HDD) projects, pipe thruster rigs minimize surface disruption. The equipment can handle various pipe materials, such as steel, or polyethylene, depending on the project’s requirements. The UNI-PF200 pipe thruster rig increases efficiency and reduces environmental impact in pipeline construction projects.
