The Tritan鈩� 560 is the newest member of the McElroy lineup. It combines features of three of McElroy鈥檚 most innovative machines: the rugged portability of the TracStar庐 iSeries, pipe loading capabilities of the Talon鈩� 2000, and the ability to meet the pipe where it lays, found in the Acrobat鈩� QuikFit庐 carriages. With a full 360-degree rotation and a boom that can raise, extend, and curl the carriage to approach and load pipe, the Tritan boosts job site efficiency and improves workplace safety by eliminating the need to top-load pipe into the fusion machine.
Meets the pipe where it lays
The Tritan鈩� 560 aids in pipe positioning, allowing for more flexibility and increased performance and productivity. With the same rugged, dual rubber tracks found on McElroy TracStar庐 machines, the Tritan offers all-terrain mobility for easily travelling across a variety of terrains and can be driven directly to and from the pipe itself. By building off the legacy and design of multiple McElroy庐 units, the Tritan minimizes the amount of time spent between fusions while also letting the machine work in tight areas.
Full 360掳 swing
Position, load, and fuse pipe from 12in (305mm) to 22in (560mm) with ease. The Tritan 560鈥檚 full 360-degree swing lets operators fuse in front of the unit or parallel to the tracks on either side of the machine. An updated track motor allows the Tritan to achieve a top speed of 2.75 miles per hour in high-speed mode, boosting mobility on job sites and further decreasing the time spent between fusions.
Innovative carriage
The Tritan 560 offers a bottom-loading carriage that eliminates the need to lift pipe overhead and into the machine for standard fusions. Operators can load pipes quickly and safely in a number of configurations. The boom arms are able to raise, extend, and curl the carriage over a range of motion. This gives operators the ability to precisely adjust the carriage without having to move the vehicle itself.
In addition, the Tritan offers a removable carriage that can operate in a 2+2 or 3+1 configuration, in both a top-loading or bottom-loading setup.
Control vehicle & fusion functions
Wirelessly control all functions of the Tritan 560 with the DataLogger. No second remote is needed 鈥� all controls have been integrated with machine functions, allowing a single operator to control all parts of the pipe loading and fusion process.
No wireless signals allowed? No problem. The Tritan lets operators connect the DataLogger via a tether when necessary, allowing for operation in environments where wireless signals are restricted or unavailable.
