NOVATEC M400 steel pipe driving machine for 426-1420mm pipes

The M400 is a heavy-duty pneumatic impact machine designed for trenchless driving of steel pipes of very large diameters. The device can operate in horizontal, oblique and vertical directions and is used in the implementation of crossings under roads, railroads, in active industrial sites and in green areas.

The machine allows pipe driving:

• With closed end (with cap) up to Ø 426 mm,
• with an open end up to Ø 1420 mm, with subsequent soil removal by means of a soil-picking device (optional equipment).

The driven pipes can act as pipelines, installation covers (cables, wires) or foundation piles. The M400 model is particularly effective for large-diameter crossings in difficult ground conditions.

The M400 machine is a pneumatic impact device equipped with adapters (set of caps) for connection to the pipe. It works with a stationary or mobile source of high-capacity compressed air, providing high impact force and reliable operation in demanding applications.
