Large-diameter machine for
close-quarter fusions
MCELROY’S In-Ditch 48 brings fusion
capability to confined work settings
using large-diameter pipe. It features a
top-loading heater and facer, providing
flexibility in tight spaces, with minimal
site excavation required.
“With the popularity and success of
our smaller In-Ditch fusion machines,
we are excited to offer the In-Ditch
48 for large-diameter pipe,” said
McElroy president Chip McElroy. “Our
innovations are part of a continual
effort to help build infrastructures more
efficiently and productively so that they
can be relied on for decades.”
The In-Ditch 48 provides 3,000 psi
maximum pressure to serve various in-
ditch applications for 450 to 1,200mm
OD pipe (16" to 48" OD).
Removable jaws and clamp cylinders
make it easier to load, and the four-
jaw carriage converts to a three-jaw
configuration making it possible to fuse
short pipe stubs, providing maximum
versatility in close quarters.
The In-Ditch 48 provides ease of
mobility with multiple lifting points, a
carriage spreader bar and skidded
carriage. The power pack and heater/
facer caddy each have a single, central
lifting point and forklift pockets. Roll
bars protect the carriage and hydraulic
components as the machine is eased
into the ditch.
It is compatible with the McElroy
DataLogger ®, which provides joint
recording ability and added job site
accountability.
