Fit a Pipe Lifter to your excavator and you can lay concrete pipes in around
half the time with less cost and less hassle – but with greater safety.
Safer. No operative needed on vehicle during off-loading or in trench during pipe laying.
Cheaper. Fewer operatives plus greater productivity.
Faster. Up to 50% faster off loading and installation time.
Easier. Simple to use. No special equipment & minimal training required.
