• Instant-acting cable clutch: when the handle is released, the cable stops immediately

• Forward and reverse motor capability for easier removal of obstruction and withdrawal of cable

• Wheels and transport-friendly frame for site mobility

• Low-profile design to fit in crawl spaces and tight access areas

Uses

• Cleaning drain or sewer lines typically sized from approx. 50 mm to 250 mm (2″ to 10″) diameter

• Clearing tree roots, grease build-up, debris or foreign objects in pipework

• Maintenance of drainage systems on construction sites or within buildings

• Situations where mechanical sectional cable cleaning is required rather than manual root cutting

Specifications

• Cable section size: 1¼″ (32 mm) standard, with adaptation possible to 7⁄8″ (22 mm) cable

• Pipe size capability: approx. 75 mm to 250 mm (3″ to 10″) line diameters using standard 1¼″ cable

• Cable run length: up to approx. 61 m (200 ft) with standard cable; some variants up to approx. 91 m (300 ft) depending on model

• Motor: induction type, typically 1 hp (≈0.75 kW) or heavier depending on variant

• Rotation speed of cable: approx. 600–700 rpm

• Transport wheels: 10″ solid ball-bearing wheels for mobility

• Frame design: low profile for tight access; upright or-A-frame variant depending on configuration

Transport Requirements

• Unit is designed to be moved by one person but should be secured to a ute, van or small trailer for transport to site
