2023 Brandt Government Trenchless Solutions Rod Pushers P80
The simple hydraulic hookups, simplicity of operation and simple, unassuming appearance of the P80 rod pusher contrast with its complex physics - a 462-lb unit that can produce 80,000 lb of thrust/pullback. You don't need to know how it works. You just need to know that it does.
