The PD-6 directional-thrust boring machine integrated with the P1-6RT rod turner from Pow-r Mole Sales is a trenchless pit launch boring system. The PD-6 was designed to install pipe and cables in difficult soil conditions. This system can steer accurately, making it ideal for the installation of gravity sewer pipes on grade. It can operate from a pit 6 feet long by 3 feet wide, and has a thrust force of 84,822 pounds at 3,000 psi. The maximum push rate is 8 feet per minute, and it can install up to 8-inch ID pipe in most compressible soils. The P1-6RT rod turner creates 4,500 ft-lbs of torque, allowing the operator to steer the rod string up to 200 feet. The PD-6 thrusting mechanism slides on a chrome-plated steel guide bar, eliminating wear from occurring to the high-strength steel machine frame. 800/344-6653; www.powrmole.com
