Laying pipe

Lay it once, get it right

Getting pipe into the ground at the right depth matters. Whether it's drainage, irrigation or effluent, the right equipment sets the depth and fall in a single pass, so there's nothing to dig up and redo later.

Built for accurate pipe laying

Lay pipe in one pass

Cut, lay and cover in a single pass, so the job takes less time and less disturbance.

Consistent depth control

Keep pipe at a consistent depth along the run, without constant adjustment.

Less ground disturbance

A narrow working width means less surface damage and faster paddock recovery
