Its unique design – capable of handling large-diameter GRE, HDPE, ducting, carbon steel, ductile iron, and concrete pipes – ensures a safer and more compliant approach to pipeline installation.

The Power Handler’s ability to rotate pipes 360 degrees from the comfort of the excavator cab provides unparalleled control, minimizing the need for manual labour and reducing operator risk. This translates to a significant reduction in manpower requirements, streamlining operations and increasing overall project efficiency.

Both companies are proud to announce that these industry leading innovations are now available from Core & Main’s HDPE Fusible locations across the United States to support safe and reliable infrastructure across the country.
