"It does a great job quick and easy and time saving."
- Nick Gabbe, Belmont Estate
"They have laid a considerable amount of 1 1/2" pipe to various systems. An excellent unit, handling roles of poly pipe manually is grounds for canning yourself. We tried other systems and you just scratch your head, this machine does the burying as well. The reel is really good. It’s a beautifully made machine and the pipe fits nicely, laying to a nice depth."
- Terrence Klug, Flinders Island
Laying Poly Pipe is a tough job!
Laying poly pipe is no walk in the park. Picture this: arduous hours spent running the pipe out ensuring that you keep it free from twists and Kinks. One slip-up, and you are facing a mess of leaks. It is not a solo gig; you need a crew, at least two or three people juggling tasks. But even with teamwork, it is a struggle.
What if there was an easier way? - With no more:
- Multiple steps to get the job done. Pre-Ripping, Ripping, Laying, Digging back to join.
- Spending huge amounts of time manually laying out and feeding in pipe.
- Difficulty in handling the rolls - risk of strain & back injury.
- Needing a couple guys to get the job done.
- Physical strain.
- Cost blowouts.

How to measure your pipe
You need to measure the widest point of what you're laying. So, if you are using fittings/joiners this will be the fitting/joiner and if you're not using fittings/joiners this will be the poly pipe.
Simply lay your tape over the widest point. This is the measurement that you need to enter into the calculator.
For example in the image below the tape measurement is at 50mmm. So, you would in turn put 50 into the calculator.
How does the calculator work
What the calculator does is checks the dimension entered against the aperture of the box. Allowing for a 5mm clearance on either side of the pipe or fitting. (The aperture is a measure of how wide the box is. 👇 Pictured below.)
