A trenchless pipeline replacement process known as pipebursting uses a bursting head to longitudinally break up an old or deteriorated pipe, moving it down the length and pulling in a pipeline replacement with it. An essential part of this process is the TRIC Tools pipe puller machine that pulls the bursting head through. The size and power of the puller unit should be matched with the type of work.
About the M100 System
The M100 exemplifies the TRIC Tools formula of a high-powered device that works from a small area, grinding through difficult terrain from tight spots. The M100 pipe pullers for sale at TRIC Tools can handle utility lines and municipal sewers at 8” to 12” diameters and can run from a backhoe or a TRIC Hi-Flow portable hydraulic pump.
TRIC Tools puts big power in a small footprint, and the M100 system is the most formidable example of that formula. Projects with tough ground conditions or limited access are natural candidates for the M100. This unit is designed to burst 8” to 12” municipal sewers as well as other drains and utility lines. * The M100 can be powered by a back hoe or similar piece of field equipment, ** or by our Hi-Flow series of portable hydraulic pumps.
