Pipelayers
Product Description
Pipelaying machines are tracked vehicles with boom and draw works designed to carry, manipulate heavy lengths of pipe during pipeline installations. They are built for heavy-duty, high-production work in the typically demanding environments encountered by the pipeline industry. Many employ hydraulically controlled counterweights to give the machine stability during rotation as it swings heavy pipe into place.
Some manufacturers design and build multipurpose machines that combine such features as an integrated welding equipment or air compressors to give the pipelaying machine additional capability for multiple pipelaying tasks.
