PIPE LAYING EQUIPMENTS

EQUIPMENT FOR JOINTING PUSH-ON JOINT PIPES & STRAIGHT FITTINGS.

Mechanical Winches

• DN 150 to 300: TIRFOR 516 winch with wire rope and protected hooks.

• DN 350 to 600: TIRFOR 532 winch with wire rope and protected hooks.

Assembly using digger bucket

• Taking a few precautions, it is possible to use the hydraulic force of the arm and bucket of a mechanical digger to joint and straight fittings.

• In this case:

• - place a wooden batten between the pipe and digger bucket.

• - push slowly and steadily, observing the rules for pipe jointing.

Hydraulic Jack Winch

• This method is similar to the mechanical winch (see below). It provides distribution of the jointing force as well as straight line movement of the pipe being jointed. The winches are controlled by a hydraulic unit.

• The number and disposition of the winches are identical to that for the mechanical winches.
