PLCS trailers are only as long as a pick-up truck (less than 17' x 8'). They are invaluable in tight city streets yet
can also lay high volumes of pipe, at high speed, across country. The coil bay can handle PE and HDPE coils up to
54" wide x 128" OD x minimum 42" ID.
PLCS Coil Pipe Trailer for 2" - 6" PE coils
PLCS Re-rounder-Straightener corrects the ovality of large diameter coiled PE pipe. The straightening action eliminates the
high level of stored energy from the coil, making the pipe much safer to handle and easier to fuse, even at cold temperatures.
Mechanical "set and forget" operation with no gas engine or hydraulic system to maintain. Requires no power source or special operator and virtually zero maintenance.
Delrin Rollers: Durable and eliminates pipe damage unlike aluminum or steel rollers that can gouge the pipe during dispensing.
Coil Control System: Coil is loaded in the rear of the trailer bay. Eight aluminum crossbars are slid across the trailer bay to connect the two spider wheels together.
Green: A solar powered
hydraulic lift system dispenses any size coil.
Coil Support: Crossbars twist & lock into position to make a reel that supports the coil.
Two support legs are mounted on rear of frame. These are used to prevent trailer rear from squatting during directional boring operations.
Large Coil Handling: The coil bay can handle coils up to 54" wide x max. 128" OD x min. 42" ID. This covers
all current PE pipe coils for a variety of applications such as Conduit, Gas, Water, Electric, & Telecom.
3" I.D. Lunette Eye with bracket (12,000 lb. Rating) for use with Pintle Hook, c/w 3/8" safety chains and 1 ton hooks.
Safety: Coil end clamp to connect the pipe inner end to the Spider reel and hold the coil upright at all times.
Quick Release Rear Gate with easy to reach extension handle for easy coil loading.
