Hammerhead HydroBurst 100XTR

The HydroBurst 100XTR gives operators the ability to take on a wide range of sewer, water and gas line replacement jobs with just one machine. The unit’s 100-ton capability is rated for up to 16 in. in diameter, yet it is compact enough for use on pipe down to 4 in. 

• Radio remote control frees operators from pit to position themselves for the best view of a bursting operation and increases workspace in pit for rod handlers
• Lightweight, heat-treated alloy rods feature an API-style joint that resists buckling under greater thrust loads and can burst steel and ductile steel pipes when used in combination with specialized tooling
• 400-ft. job takes little more than two hours to complete from rod payout to pipe pullback in average soil conditions
• 50-ton mode works up to twice as fast depending on the job’s requirements
• Automated rod spinner system with  locking jaw system provides constant tension on rod string, eliminating rod rebound
• Hydraulic leveling jacks allow operators to make adjustments on the fly to keep machine on-grade without interrupting bursting operations
