Pneumatic mole - 180 mm

Technical data

Product description

The Z180 is another product co-designed by our Customers. The need to fill the gap in the range with such a machine was driven by changing requirements for minimum pipe diameters for all kinds of installations, from water supply to gas and ICT. Only a few years ago the most popular “moles” were the 130s, i.e. moles with a diameter of 130 mm, which are ideal for installing Ø110mm pipes. Recently, however, there is an increasing need to install pipes with diameters of Ø160mm. The Z180 mole is designed mainly for pulling in Ø160mm plastic pipes and for ramming steel casing pipes with diameters up to 406 mm. Like all the other “moles” of the Z family, it has a reverse gear controlled pneumatically by a lever on the oiler, so it is also simple and safe to operate. Further advantages are low air consumption, compatibility with Z130 and Z160 accessories, and precise and fast operation.
