Equipment Attachment

ACME Trenchless Pipe Winch

The ACME Trenchless Pipe Winch makes trenchless pipe pulling quick and routinely easy. It delivers the pulling power needed — 20,000 pounds breakout force — applied to MAX 7/16 pulling cables which have a minimum rated breakpoint of 24,000 pounds. The pulling cables are reusable, and tensioned pulling cable remains inside the confines of the winch frame. It attaches to a compact excavator or backhoe via a quick coupler and will dispatch to the access pit at any approach angle, allowing for the preservation of the original bury depth of the existing waterline. It works with lead, galvanized, copper and plastic piping. 920-376-4222; www.acmetrenchless.com 

Excavating Equipment

Brokk 120DII

The Brokk 120DII diesel-powered demolition robot, specially equipped for vacuum excavation, redefines efficiency and safety in debris removal and maintenance tasks. When combined with a vacuum excavation kit, it is an ideal solution for excavation sites, such as those in residential areas, that are difficult or impossible to reach with a vacuum excavation truck. The kit includes a bracket mounted on the rear of the machine and on the three-part arm to secure the hose and transport it from the vacuum excavation truck to the excavation site. A specially designed plate attaches to the end of the arm and includes an opening to hold and stabilize the hose’s nozzle. Thanks to the quick hitch, the plate can be rapidly removed and switched with a variety of attachments, including buckets and breakers. Its compact size and ideal power-to-weight ratio allow it to carry the suction nozzle up to 330 feet from the location of the truck, making it ideal for navigating tight spaces and sites with weight restrictions. 800-621-7856; www.brokk.com
