Utility Strikes – A Thing of the Past
The Kobus Pipe Puller can minimise the potential risk of damaging surrounding utilities during service pipe replacement. By contrast, moling increases the risk of dangerous strikes.
Consumer Disruption Reduced
Reduce local disruption and damage to property. Find out how the Pipe Puller replaced a supply pipe under a block paved driveway without removing a single block paving stone!
Saves Time & Costs
Trenchless technology is preferrable to reduce disruption during service pipe replacement. How does the Pipe Puller improve productivity reducing time and costs compared to open cut trenching?
Kobus Pipe Puller Features
Small
Footprint
The Kobus Puller is designed with a small footprint. The tapered design on the foot section allows better clearance from surrounding utilities. The Puller is positioned easily in small excavations, even with very congested utilities, and doesn’t require a large clear flat area at the base of the excavation.
Pre-assembled
Pulling Cable
Kobus supplies a specially designed pulling cable which comes complete with integral ferrule and expander. The ferrule allows attachment to the new pipe so it can be towed in behind the old pipe. The expander opens up the bore hole behind the old pipe. The cable is ready to use without the need for any fiddly assembly on site.
360deg
Rotatable Foot
The 360 degree rotatable foot section allows the excavator to be positioned anywhere on the side of the pit to give optimum access. The rotation of the foot in any direction enables the Puller to be quickly positioned and adjusted without repositioning the excavator for optimum efficiency in operation.
Continuous
Spooling
The Kobus Puller extracts the old pipe continuously providing smooth extraction of the pipe without stopping and starting. This ensures the pulling is quick without the need for manual operation of any device. There’s no need to cut the tough old metal pipe with shears that may need regular replacement.
