 SPX-960 PIPELAYER
• TIER 3 ENGINE
All SPX-Series pipelayers are built with Caterpillar Tier 3 engines.

• HYDROSTATIC SYSTEM
State-of-the-art hydrostatic system insures safety and reliability
and is especially efficient when working on steep grades.

• Hydraulic kit
The same kit used in the conversion of Caterpillar, Komatsu
and Fiat pipelayers is used on this machine.

• Safety
Safety has always been a big focus for us. Some of the safety
features are our new ATP-Plus anti-tipping system, electronic
boom kick-out, anti-two block and free fall.

• ROPS/FOPS
Optional ROPS/FOPS is designed in such a way to allow the
operator a clear view of the top of the boom and the load.

• Counterweight rack
New design which makes the counterweight
system easy to assemble and disassemble.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OPTIONS
ALL HYDRAULIC
• Freefall System
When the button is engaged, the load free-falls and then
immediately stops when the button is released.
IMPORTANT: Improper use of this feature may cause damage
to the winch. Read all documentation before use.
• Boom Kick-Out System
This system will ensure you will never bend another boom.
• Anti-Two Block
Sets a minimum distance between the top block and the hook
block, preventing collisions between them.

ELECTRONIC OVER HYDRAULIC

• Freefall system, Boom kick-out system and
anti-two block plus:
• Anti-Tipping System
Prevents tipping by calculating the maximum load
that can be lifted.
STATE-OF-THE-ART CABIN • Controls
With only 2 joysticks, the operator can operate both winches,
increase/decrease the engine’s throttle, and control the
machine’s travel.

• Transmission pilot levers

There are 2 extra pilot levers for the transmission, which can
assist the operator in making precise maneuvers, such as turning
in a steep hill or making pin-point movements to couple the pipes.

• LCD DISPLAY
It displays relevant information in a beautiful, easy to read,
graphical interface. It can also be adjusted for day or night viewing.
