JT5 HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLS

Experience built the Ditch Witch® JT5 Horizontal Directional Drill. With input from our customers JT5 and their many years of experience installing utilities on tight jobsites, our engineers developed the ideal compact rig with the right amount of thrust and pullback for shallow installations of cable, fiber and water systems up to 150 feet in length (46 m) beneath roads, driveways, sidewalks, sensitive landscaping, and other surface obstacles. The JT5 is a true team effort.

FEATURES

• Compact and maneuverable JT5 fits through a 36-inch (910-mm) yard gate; at 120 inches (3.1 m) long, it can be set up on the street with minimal traffic disruption.

• Ergonomic operator’s station features a stationary seat, automatic fluid shutoff control and easy visibility of the remote display.

• Specially designed drill pipe has aggressive bend radius so you can successfully install utilities around structures.

• Convenient, electrically operated lubrication system helps maximize the life of pipe joints and increase productivity.

• Heavy-duty anchor system keeps the JT5 secure during operation, reduces wear on pipe threads and enables better alignment of pipe during makeup

• Open-top vise wrenches are designed to center the pipe better every time and provide an excellent view of the tool joint.

• Field-proven rack-and-pinion thrust drive designed for low maintenance and reliability.

• Hood removes easily for access to engine and service points.

Similar models may be shown in addition to the featured model. Equipment may be shown with options. Specifications are general and subject to change without notice. If exact measurements are required, equipment should be weighed and measured. Due to selected options, delivered equipment may not necessarily match that shown.
