Category overview

What are Pullers and Pull Heads?

Pullers and pull heads are mechanical devices used to connect the utility pipe that's being installed to the drill tooling during the installation phase of horizontal directional drilling.

Types of Pullers and Pull Heads

There are various types of pullers and pull heads, each designed to perform specific tasks:

  1. Carrot Pullers: These pullers have a tapered, threaded end that screws into the pipe being pulled for a solid connection.
  2. Exapanding Pullers: These pullers have an expandable rear connection that grips the inside of the pipe being pulled and exerts more grip on the pipe as pulling force increases to ensure a secure connection.
  3. Sealed Pullers: These pullers are similar to expanding pullers, but have a bell that covers the outside of the pipe to prevent any unwanted debris or fluids from getting inside the pipe during installation.
  4. Fusable Pull Heads: These pullers usually consist of a metal front connection with HDPE attached. This allows the contractor to fuse the HDPE pipe being installed to the pull head for installation.
