Trenchless Technology, July 2016. Ayr, Ontario. Onboard batteries, submersible, pipes from about 20 cm - no dedicated service truck.
Trenchless Technology Canada reported Deep Trekker’s DT340 Pipe Crawler System after the Niagara Falls Trenchless Technology Road Show unveil. Ayr, Ontario. The pitch was simple: pipe crawlers had meant rentals, big municipalities, and a truck with generators. DT340 packs into two carrying cases with batteries inside the crawler.
President Sam Macdonald said internal inspections should not be as cumbersome or costly as they were. Specs in the piece: die-cast aluminum housing, steerable wheels, handheld controller with screen, four to eight hours on a charge with about a 1.5-hour recharge, optional wheels and tracks for pipes as small as 20 cm.
Deep Trekker founded in 2010 on portable ROVs; the pipe line reused that submersible thinking for municipal and industrial CCTV. The Pipe Trekker family in the FoB file is that portable manhole-drop class. Read the source: https://trenchlesstechnology.com/deep-trekker-launches-submersible-battery-powered-pipe-crawler/
