HammerHead Launches New
HydroGuide HG375 Winch
H
ammerHead Trenchless Equipment’s new HG375
is the latest addition to its HydroGuide winch line.
The HG375 winch boasts high-speed pullback and
payout. With a maximum pressure of 3,450 psi, the HG375
delivers a pull of up to 3.75 tons, making it ideal for slitting
plastic gas pipes from 1/2 inch to 2 inches in
diameter. It is also designed for the pull back
of duct, conduit, or slip-lining product.
Infinitely proportional control can adjust
payout and pullback from as little as 3
inches per minute to 195 feet per minute.
This speed and control make the HG375
ideally suited for sewer pipe cleaning work.
Manual controls have been integrated for
backup capability.
The HydroGuide HG375 winch has a
solid dual-capstan design driven by a dual-
speed radial piston motor, powered by a
21.5-horsepower, liquid-cooled Kubota diesel
engine. The system is able to withstand high
load ratings and improves torque transmis-
sion, providing a constant pulling force over
the entire pull length, thereby reducing cable
wear.
Available options include a Precision
Digital Job Data Recorder to track each pull,
an all-terrain track-mounted unit for access
to difficult areas, and an Electrical Strike
Identification system for worker safety.
Winch cable is offered in a variety of lengths
and diameters, and downriggers are offered
in 5-foot and 10-foot versions.
“Using the available 3/8-inch cable, the
new HG375 equips our customers to tackle
the smaller diameter plastic pipes, from
2-inch down to about half-inch,” said Alan
Goodman, national sales manager for Ham-
merHead. “It opens up a whole new market
for a lot of contractors, and with all the gas
line slitting going on nationwide, the timing
couldn’t be better. This winch was specifi-
cally designed to split plastic service lines
for gas and water, and the speed and control
it delivers give our customers a real advan-
tage.”
