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.
