The launch of McElroydzԹs In-Ditch 48 brings fusion capability to confined work settings using large diameter pipe.

The In-Ditch 48 features a top loading heater and facer providing greater flexibility in tight spaces with minimal site excavation required.

dzԹWith the popularity and success of our smaller In-Ditch fusion machines, we are excited to offer the In-Ditch 48 for large-diameter pipe,dzԹ said McElroy President Chip McElroy. dzԹOur innovations are part of a continual effort to help build infrastructures more efficiently and productively so that they can be relied on for decades.dzԹ

The In-Ditch 48 packs more power into a smaller package with 3000 psi maximum pressure to serve various in-ditch applications for 16 dzԹ 48 in. OD (450 dzԹ 1200 mm) pipe.

Removable jaws and clamp cylinders make it easier to load, and the four-jaw carriage converts to a three-jaw configuration making it possible to fuse short pipe stubs, providing maximum versatility in close quarters.

The In-Ditch 48 provides ease of mobility with multiple lifting points, a carriage spreader bar and skidded carriage. The power pack and heater/facer caddy each have a single, central lifting point and forklift pockets. Roll bars protect the carriage and hydraulic components as the machine is eased into the ditch.

The In-Ditch 48 is compatible with the McElroy DataLogger® which provides joint recording ability and added jobsite accountability.
