TOWING HEADS FOR PLASTIC PIPES
Towing Heads, also known as pipe or duct pullers, are a quick, simple and effective method of attaching a directional drilling rig, winch wire, or some other pulling device, to a plastic pipe.

Pipe Equipment has been producing Towing Heads since 1985 and now sells ten different types, all of which are fully reuseable. They are suitable for all sizes and types of plastic pipe from 16mm (1/2") upwards to suit European, American and Japanese pipe standards.

STANDARD TOWING HEAD
Our original and most popular Towing Head designed to work over a range of wall thicknesses for any particular pipe size. This can be supplied with or without a rear eye and with a flat plate in place of the nose cone.

MUD TIGHT TOWING HEAD
Designed to prevent drilling fluid ingress when directional drilling. It has an outer sleeve and works over a range of internal diameters.

PE TOWING HEAD
This towing head is fused onto the PE pipe string and features a strong sealed, but rotating eye bolt, thus ensuring a fully sealing towing head.

PRESSURE TIGHT TOWING HEAD
Similar to the Standard model except that this model has an additional sealing ring which will withstand an internal pressure of 10 bar. This design also prevents the ingress of dirt and fluid and the contamination of a pre-chlorinated pipe.

SCREW IN TOWING HEAD
A reliable and maintenance free one piece towing head which screws into the internal bore of a plastic pipe or duct.

PE COILER TOWING HEAD
Developed for the PE manufacturer, this model has been designed to quickly and simply attach the newly produced pipe to the coiling machine without damaging the internal or external surfaces..

BOLT-ON TOWING HEAD
Designed to be bolted to the outside, or inside of large diameter PE pipes. This is a cost effective alternative to other models where speed of installation / removal is not critical.

MULTI PULLER
This product is designed to pull a number of smaller pipes or cables into a directionally drilled bore or into an existing pipe or duct.

TOWING SLINGS
Towing Slings are used, mainly in directional drilling, to install a number of pipes, ducts or cables at the same time.

TOWING SOCKS (Chinese Fingers)
Also known as cable grips or Chinese Fingers, they are used to pull or support cables and pipes. They work on the principle of the harder the pull, the tighter the grip.
