Hardy, a Standard Plumbing contractor from Chicago, explains why he likes PE Equipment’s 2-in-1 Pipe Bursting and Rod Pushing System.“A lot of customers, their main concern is the downtime and how long something takes,” he says. “With a lot of the new installs and services you have to excavate, and a lot of people don’t want their whole driveway or front lawn dug up. With this, you go right under the roadway, or right under their front lawn, and it’s quick and easy.”The system includes both pipe bursting and rod pushing capabilities in a single machine, simplifying operation and enhancing productivity. It measures 47 inches long, 23 inches wide and 31 inches tall, making it highly portable and easily carried by two people.For more information, visit pe-equipment.com.

"The overarching reason we even came out with the PRO Reel was to have operators set up efficiently. But the big thing was safety. So once we’ve nailed those two things with the actual PRO Reel it allowed us to spend time on the ergonomics and display itself."
