The new Speedrooter 92™ blends rugged reliability with ease-of-use. An upgrade to the Speedrooter 91, it includes the Flexitube™ spring distributor tube which enhances the machine’s durability. It allows the cable to feed and retract more smoothly, even if the frame has been damaged and abused. A cord wrap has been added to the handle to make it easier to store the power cord and foot pedal. The Speedrooter 92’s durable field tested design offers easy handling. One person can easily load it onto a truck. The machine’s frame slides smoothly from the loading wheel to the handle to the stair climbers and finally to the wheels. The adjustable height, swept-back handle also provides maximum maneuvering leverage. General Pipe Cleaners.

Manual hydraulic benders
www.ridgid.com
The new, easy-to-use RIDGID® Manual Hydraulic Benders are designed for precise cold bending of standard gas pipe (DIN 2440), black steel schedule 40 (ASTM A53) pipe and stainless steel schedule 40 pipe. Bending angle indicators show, in real time, the angle the pipe is bent to, reducing the number of starts, stops and pipe removals to take measurements. The durable piston seals prevent premature leaks and maximize uptime. User fatigue is minimized due to the unique design of the handle, which minimizes the number of strokes to advance the piston and requires less effort per stroke. The benders’ single-circuit hydraulic system with a return spring provides better control of the ram. RIDIGD®.
