McElroy
McElroy offers the solution for fusing large-diameter pipe up to 65-inch OD in challenging, close-quarter working environments with the new In-Ditch 1600. It is for customers who needed a machine capable of butt fusing large-diameter tie-in connections in a high-density neighborhood with many turning roadways. The In-Ditch 1600 is designed with a compact, two-jaw carriage and a top-loading heater and facer for added flexibility. It is capable of fusing onto as little as 15 inches of exposed pipe with minimal excavation required. Multiple lifting points, a carriage spreader bar and skidded carriage provide ease of mobility and fit within a small envelope. A roll cage helps protect the carriage and hydraulics as they are lowered into the ditch. The carriage has the same 30,000 pounds of clamping force per jaw as the MegaMc 1600. www.mcelroy.com
