ACME Trenchless Pipe Winch

The Pipe Winch from ACME Trenchless makes trenchless pipe pulling quick and routinely easy. It delivers the pulling power needed — 20,000 pounds breakout force — applied to a MAX 7/16 pulling cable. The pulling cables are reusable, and the tensioned pulling cable remains safely inside the confines of the access pit. The winch attaches to a compact excavator or backhoe via a quick coupler and will dispatch to the access pit at any approach angle, having 360-degree rotation. It then locks in place, allowing for a perfect alignment to the existing waterline, while preserving the original bury depth. It works with lead, galvanized, copper and plastic piping. Also available are MAX pulling cables in 1/2-, 9/16- and 5/8-inch sizes along with a variety of pulling and splitting heads. The breakout force can be increased to up to 55,000 pounds. See ad on page 7. 920-376-4222; www.acmetrenchless.com; Booth N1963
