The Poweram Model 1915 is designed to
help you do a tough construction job – installing and/or replacing
underground utility service lines where trenching is not possible or
desirable.
The Poweram Model 1915 has the same power
(98,000 lbs. of push!) as the Model 2020, but it is under 6 ft. long, so it
fits in much tighter quarters.
This compact machine installs new underground utilities by
pushing steel rods under roadways, etc. and pulling the required pipe or
cable back; and it can replace existing lines by pulling pipe
splitting and/or bursting tools through the old pipe and pulling a new pipe
into the same space. The new pipe can be the same size or larger than the
old pipe.
One person can operate the model 1915. It has two hydraulic cylinders
controlled by one valve, which puts the operator in control of the machine
and his/her own safety. The cylinders actuate the patented jaw system that
grips the push rods. The centerline of the push rod is 5 inches above the
bottom of the machine. The Model 1915 can pull up to 8" pipe (or two 4"
pipes) in most soil conditions. Larger pipe can be installed in suitable
soils. The longest practical distance for accuracy depends on soil
conditions and operator experience. Using an electronic locating devise
helps the operator make critical decisions that can greatly increase
productivity. We recommend using the No. 1907 (4 ft. wide) or No. 1914 (3
ft. wide) Safety Shoring Box to protect the operator and to provide a faster
and more stable set-up.
The push/pull rods have threaded joints, and can be added and removed within
the length of the machine. The 20 inch stroke cylinders pull the 4 ft. long
rods in three "bites", and allow room to bring the splitter and/or expander
into the machine to finish the pull. |
