PortaBurst Lateral Bursting Systems

Features

PortaBurst PB30G2: MINIMUM PIT. MAXIMUM PROFIT.

For your tough lateral pipe bursting jobs, you need two things from your bursting system – the power to get the job done quickly and the durability to be up and running burst after burst. The rugged HammerHead PortaBurst PB30G2 replaces 2 to 6″ lateral pipes with up to 30-tons of pulling force. Its compact footprint requires minimal excavation and the system is built to help you cut down on wasted time, maximizing productivity. Its user-friendly, modular design makes it easy to operate, easy to set up and easy to transport. Plus, Quick Grip burst heads make it easy to securely connect new pipe without any hand tools. With efficiency like that, the PortaBurst PB30G2 is the ideal system for high-profit lateral replacement.

QUICK GRIP® BURST HEADS

Quick Grip burst heads give you the industry’s quickest, most secure connection of the head to replacement HDPE pipe. These burst heads don’t require any hand tools, can negotiate bends up to 45 degrees and are available in 4- and 6-inch options.

LOW PRESSURE, HIGH PRODUCTION

PortaBurst systems operate at low pressure, so you can choose from a variety of power supply options. Use a dedicated control unit or run it from your backhoe or compact excavator – or any other hydraulic supply capable of 3,000 psi. The cycle length of the 12″ hydraulic cylinder supports production rates of up to 6 feet per minute.

POSITIVE CABLE GRIP SYSTEM

Cable grip systems of other designs on the market do not keep constant tension on the cable as it recycles. Each time they stop to re-grab the cable, a “bungee effect” slows down progress. Our PortaBurst systems eliminate bungee effect to improve your productivity. The actuating cylinder pulls with a positive grip on the cable and a second grip holds the cable in place while the unit is recycling. Minimizing bungee provides a faster, more efficient burst.
