NTS also carries a line of traditional cable pipe pullers. Traditional cable pullers are designed to sit within a piece of pipe for the purpose of joining an additional pipe segment. Once the pipe puller is set within the pipe, the cable wire is extended to reach the open end of the next pipe segment. The two wire cables are then attached to the open end using hooks while tension is applied to the wire cable to slowly and safely join the pipe segments. Optional snatch blocks can provide increasing pulling force in applications where the winch’s standard pulling capacity will not suffice due to weight and or distance.

The JB Pipe Puller, manufactured by Basinger Manufacturing, is NTS’s newest pipe puller. The system builds upon traditional cable pipe pullers introducing several safety and productivity advantages. The system is designed with solid bars replacing the typical cable wire, which eliminates the potential for fraying or snapping of a cable wire when placed upon the stress of the pull. The system also features a hydraulic set and release process for the strut that allows the system to be released easily once a pull is complete, as opposed to the hammering typically required to dislodge the strut in most pipe pullers. Standard duty units are capable of pulling pipe up to 10-ft in diameter, while heavy duty units can pull pipe up to 14-ft in diameter in less than 3 minutes. The unit can be easily adapted to round, elliptical and box culverts. The unit is also safer than many products on the market eliminating the need for blocks and come-a-longs.

Pipe tongs and pipe lifts from Crescent Pipe Tongs and Kenco Corp. are your answer for easy, safe and efficient handling of any type or size of concrete, RCP, PVC, steel or ductile iron pipe. When properly used, these units are proven to be safe, labor-saving devices. Easily compatible with virtually any type of crane, backhoe or excavator, these units are easy to attach to your pipe and release automatically when needed with complete safety. The use of these products will speed up job handling operations and allows placing of pipe in trenches of minimum working width. All units are manufactured with the highest quality certified materials including lightweight aluminum alloy, or fabricated high tensile steel. Standard rental and sale units can handle pipe dimensions of 4” to 147”. Each pipe tong/lift is stamped with a safety load limit (which should never be exceeded). All tongs conform to applicable state and federal safety standards and comply with OSHA safety orders.
