Key Features:
1200 lbs. Safe Lifting Capacity: The PumpTrax can safely lift up to 1200 lbs. of weight, with the option to add additional pulling units to increase the lifting capacity to a maximum of 3000 lbs. This provides flexibility for various pump sizes.
0 to 2000 lbs. Clamping Force Grip: It offers a powerful grip with adjustable clamping force, allowing it to securely hold different types of pipes, including PVC, steel, and coil pipes.
Variable Speed: It can operate at speeds between 1 to 65 feet per minute, giving control over how quickly the pump is lifted or lowered.
Safety Lockout: The safety lockout feature ensures that the machine can hold the load even if the engine or motor fails, adding an extra layer of security.
Gas and Electric Power Options: The machine can run on both gas and electric power, and can easily switch between the two within 5 minutes. This makes it adaptable to different jobsite conditions.
Optional Wireless Remote Control: For convenience and ease of operation, an optional wireless remote control can be used to operate the machine from a distance.
Compact and Portable: The PumpTrax is designed for tight spaces where traditional hoist trucks can’t access. Its slim design is portable, lightweight, and won’t damage landscaping or property, making it ideal for residential or hard-to-reach well sites.
One-Person Operation: Due to its compact design and user-friendly functionality, it can be operated by a single person, which is a huge advantage in settings where a team might not be available.
Benefits:
Compact and Portable: Unlike larger, cumbersome hoist trucks, the PumpTrax can easily fit into confined spaces, making it perfect for small or tricky well sites.
Efficient and Safe: The ability to safely lift heavy loads and securely grip pipes makes the PumpTrax a reliable tool for well pump installation and removal.
Time-Saving: By being easily portable and able to switch between power sources quickly, it saves both time and effort, especially in cases where a hoist truck would be too slow or impractical.
Cost-Effective: Since it can be operated by just one person and doesn’t require a large crew or specialized equipment like a truck, it offers a cost-effective solution for smaller jobs or those in restricted spaces.
In essence, the PumpTrax Well Pump Puller is a highly specialized, portable machine that streamlines the process of pulling and installing well pumps, providing safety, convenience, and power all in one.
