Every leg of the SpiderPlow operates independently, which means the equipment can work easily in undulating terrain.

SpiderPlow equipment is the world’s most technologically advanced cable and pipe installation system.

Compared to traditional trenching and plowing technologies, SpiderPlow offers significant advantages:

  • Very cost effective compared to traditional methods – efficiencies are achieved through:
    - speed of application
    - reduced right-of-way preparation
    - minimal work-area reclamation
  • Environmentally superior – anchor/winch configuration minimizes ground disturbance, pre-ripping and remediation and is therefore much less invasive than traditional plowing and trenching
  • Depth – can easily achieve depth of 2.5 meters required for oil & gas applications and greater than 2.5 meters with soil stripping
  • Consistent depth application – plow design allows SpiderPlow to achieve consistent depth in undulating terrain
  • Pipe diameter
    - plows up to 12” diameter flexible pipe
    - pulls up to 20” diameter flexible and rigid pipe
  • Safety – Intrinsically safe design and small crew required to operate the equipment
  • Adaptability - easily overcomes varied terrain and obstacles
  • Single pass - pipe is installed in a single pass, whereas conventional plowing systems may require several passes
