Tunnel Pipe Carriers
CPE's experience includes the design and manufacture of a diverse range of special lifting equipment including Pipe Carrying vehicles.
These specialised vehicles can be custom built to suit individual pipes and exact customer application requirements.
Machine Capacities:
- Standard designs are available to suit <1600mm internal diameter 2-12 tonne pipes.
- Custom designed machines are available on request
Features and benefits:
- Increases efficiency of pipe picking, carrying, aligning and jointing process
- Carriers optionally include unidirectional pipe picking capability, pipe jointing XYZ axis alignment, clamp and thrust capability for Pipe socket jointing.
- Fully proportional radio control functionality or driver cab configurations available
- Machine picks load with no counterbalance load therefore reducing machine length and overall weight.
- Optional Auto tunnel steering mode to transverse straight or radius tunnel layouts without any wall climb keeping the machine true to the invert at all times.
- All wheel drive.
- Minimum construction diameter of jacking pipe or tunnel can be achieved.(+150mm of outside pipe diameter)
