THE INNOVATIVE SOLUTION TO TRENCHLESS PIPE REPLACEMENT

Kobus Pipe Pullers provide a fast, low-cost pipe replacement approach that reduces disruption, removing old decommissioned pipes with minimal risk of damaging surrounding utilities.

Ideal for water and gas service pipes, the KPP400 mounts on a compact excavator for seamless replacement of lead, copper, steel and polyethylene pipes up to 25 meters long in a single pull using auxiliary hydraulics.

STOP TRENCHING. START PULLING.

MINIMAL IMPACT.

Reduce expensive excavation and reinstatement work. The Kobus Pipe Puller requires just a 2’ x 2’ pit to operate on the pulling end. Make your inserting pit only as big as you need to get the job done. Compatibility with a variety of excavators and a 360-degree rotating head provides flexibility and adaptability that minimizes job site disruptions.

FASTER.

Every step is faster with the KPP400. Quick-connect-and-release fittings, a two-piece spool and a simple positioning process speeds up your setup and turnaround time dramatically. Capable of running at up to 20’ per minute, while pulling the new service right behind the old, our equipment makes quick work of pipe replacement projects.

SAFER.

Protect your crew from the dangers of traditional pipe replacement methods. Since the action is contained within the KPP400, there’s no snapped cables or flying debris to worry about. The operator sits safely inside the excavator with no one else required to be in the vicinity. Less digging also means less chance of utility strikes or damage.

PIPE PULLING 101

Pipe pulling is a simple, trenchless technique for pipe replacement. A strong steel pulling cable with a special attachment is used to remove or replace old underground pipes.  As it is removed, up to 80’ of pipe is safely winded onto a spool driven by powerful hydraulic motors. New copper or polyethylene pipe can be simultaneously towed into place along the same path. It’s a safer, faster, less disruptive approach that municipalities, utilities and contractors can all benefit from.
