The Truck Mounted Bundle Extractor is a proven machine which is developed in order to extract and push back horizontal bundles which are located at a height between 500 and 7000 mm and with a maximum weight of 15 tons. Due to it’s unique and patented design, this machine is not only designed to pull and push back bundles, it can also be used to transport the bundles to the cleaning slab. Therefore it is highly appreciated in all the refineries and in the petrochemical sector.
The main advantage is that you don’t need a crane any more, which will reduce your costs and bring your downtime back to a minimum. Less organisation is needed.
The truck is allowed to drive on the public road, therefore making it a versatile and efficient tool. Even in a difficult to reach place with a crane, e.g. when there is a pipe frame above the heat exchanger, the truck mounted bundle puller can still do the job!
Once the extractor is in position and the butt plates are positioned against the shell flange, the extractor can exert a force of 50.000 kg, enough to extract even the most obstinate bundle. After the initial break, the hydraulic pulling car will be hooked to the pipe plate and the extractor can pull out the bundle in one continuous stroke. Once the bundle is resting on the truck, it can be transported to the cleaning slab and can be off loaded by the crane on the cleaning slab.
