Technical characteristics

Type of machine: Stationary

Equipment drive: Hydraulic

Hydraulic power pack: Honda GX 690 (gasoline)

Power input: max. 17,7 kW

Operating temperature range: from -20ºС to +40ºС

Overall dimensions and weight of the power unit (rod pusher) assembled:
Length 734 mm
Width 500 mm
Height 312 mm

Weight 106 kg

The light weight of the unit and the small dimensions of UM-32 allow to:
   ✔ discard handling (loading and unloading) equipment;
   ✔ minimize the composition of the working crew (1 or 2 operators);
   ✔ use low-capacity vehicles to transport the unit.


The multifunctional unit UM-32 is completed (scope of supply) according to the needs of the customer: either for horizontal directional drilling (ground-piercing), or for the replacement of worn pipelines, or for the double set of functions at once (both HDD and pipelines replacement).

Micro-unit UM-32 for ground-piercing (directional drilling)

UM-32 performs ground-piercing, controlled in plan and profile, without the use of bentonite mixtures.

Soil types: All types except rocky soils.

Types of pipelines: Water and sewerage, gas, conduits for cables for various purposes (telecommunications, electricity, etc.).

Direction control device:    SNS location

Drilling  parameters*:

  • - Pulling capacity for ground-piercing (pipe-jacking): 24 tons
  • - Pulling capacity for pipe pulling into position: 32 tons
  • - Pipe-jacking length: 80 meters
  • - Diameters of pipes to be laid: from 63 mm to 225 mm
  • - Pipeline material: polyethylene

* Drilling parameters may vary and can be higher or inferior, depending on geology, working team skills, soil moisture content, etc.

Micro-unit UM-32 for pipelines replacement (pipe bursting)

UM-20 replaces a worn pipeline by the bursting method, followed by pressing of the old pipe into the ground.

Laying of a new pipeline can be carried out both with maintaining and increasing the diameter of the new pipe.

Works performance parameters for pipelines replacement*:

  • - Pulling capacity for pipe pulling into position: 32 tons
  • - Replacement section length: 100 meters
  • - Diameters of pipes to be laid: from 63 mm to 225 mm
  • - Material of replaced pipeline: cast iron, reinforced concrete, ceramic, asbestos
  • - Material of new pipeline:  polyethylene, steel

*Works performance parameters for pipelines replacement may vary and can be higher or interior, depending on geology, working team skills, soil moisture content, etc.
