The TracStar® 28 combines the legacy of larger TracStar machines with the fusion range to suit the needs of smaller, 2″ IPS – 8″ DIPS (63mm – 225mm), pipe fusion projects.
Sharing a common vehicle with the 250, 412i and 618i range of TracStar machines, the TracStar 28 is powered by a powerful diesel engine – which is especially useful on jobsites where gasoline is not permitted. Like its larger counterparts, the TracStar 28 offers a self-propelled, self-contained, track-mounted vehicle that can handle grades up to 30 percent.
A new cowling design increases airflow and increases the hydraulic fluid capacity. A standard battery disconnect is incorporated for easy lockout.
TracStar 28 fusion machines incorporate an interchangeable 4-jaw carriage that can be easily removed for in-ditch fusions. For tight installations, the outer fixed jaw and skid can be removed from the carriage converting it to a 3-jaw carriage for an even more compact fusion unit.
The TracStar 28 can also be ordered as a Combination Unit (CU) that allows fusion of branch saddles with a maximum base diameter of 9.63” onto any size main.
