Small Diameter Portable Sewer Crawler

The TROGLO crawler system is an all-encompassing solution for conducting underground pipe surveys. This system, powered by a lithium-ion battery, is meticulously engineered to deliver both durability and efficiency, enabling extensive operation. Its waterproof design ensures optimal environmental performance and allows operation in pipes as small as four inches in diameter up to 10 inches. (Pipes as large as 47 inches can be achieved with a conversion kit) Equipped with 305 meters (1000 ft) of sturdy Kevlar cable on an auto-recoiling reel, the system facilitates live video streaming from either the front or rear camera of the crawler.

Additionally, bright LED lights illuminate the path seen by the pan-and-tilt camera. Crafted from solid brass and stainless steel, this steerable crawler features a built-in inclinometer that helps with auto-steering and prevents tipping. Enhance your survey capabilities with JIREH's cutting-edge technology and unmatched reliability.

Part ID: EPG001

Features

Small Diameters

The TROGLO crawler is fully steerable and can be deployed in pipes as small as 10.2 cm (4 in) in diameter, enabling versatile and efficient inspection in tight spaces.

Wheels

Thanks to its rubber wheels, the crawler can maneuver through water-filled pipes as narrow as 4 inches in diameter.

LED Lights

Cameras are equipped with bright LED lights to provide improved illumination in narrow and dark pipes

Various Cameras

Depending on your specific application needs, select between the pan-and-tilt or axial camera head. Both options are waterproof, crafted from durable stainless steel, and equipped with bright LED lights for enhanced visibility during inspections.

Video Screen

The video processor and the 14.2 cm (5.6 in) high-brightness colour display are waterproof. The monitor includes a sun shield, a keyboard for controlling and navigating the crawler, storing up to 9 pages of text, a memory card for documenting inspections, an on-screen foot counter, an inclinometer, and a pressure sensor.

Reel

The cable reel serves dual purposes: it accommodates the 305-meter (1000 ft) Kevlar video cable reel and features a seamless cable feeder for effortless reeling after completing your inspection. This fully motorized reel also integrates an advanced rechargeable power cell, providing over 4 hours of continuous video screen operation. The reel is also available for manual recoiling, providing our clients with flexibility and choice.

Reverse Camera and LED lights

After the inspection, guide the crawler out of the pipe using the rear-facing camera and dual bright LED backup lights.

Battery-Powered

Powered by cutting-edge Lithium-Ion battery technology, the system offers extended operational times without bulky generators, ensuring a streamlined and hassle-free operation.

Various Wheel Sizes

The system is equipped with crawler wheels that are compatible with pipes ranging from 4 inches to 8 inches in diameter. Switching between wheels is a quick and easy process, ensuring seamless operation for different pipe sizes.

Vertical Deployment and Retrieval

The lifting device allows the crawler to descend into a horizontal inspection setting through a vertical manhole or access point. This same device can also lift the crawler back up when needed.

Integrated Sonde for Precise Underground Localization

The crawler features a built-in 32.768 kHz sonde—a compact electronic transmitter that emits a signal used to accurately locate and track the crawler’s position and depth underground. This enables operators above ground to pinpoint the crawler’s location.

One Crawler, Endless Versatility

Both the TROGLO Large and Small Crawlers are built on the same modular base—an innovative design that sets us apart. Instead of investing in multiple crawler systems, users can easily convert between small and large configurations using a simple conversion kit. This flexible platform enables inspection teams to handle pipe sizes ranging from 4 to 39 inches with a single, unified system, thereby reducing equipment costs and simplifying field operations.

WinCan Compatability

TROGLO Crawlers are fully compatible with WinCan, allowing for a seamless inspection and reporting workflow using your own laptop or control console.

Carbide Wheels

Engineered for maximum traction, these rugged wheels deliver reliable grip in challenging pipe conditions. Their sharp carbide edges cut through debris, driving forward where smooth wheels lose contact. (Sold Separately)
