TT Technologies will be displaying the latest in trenchless equipment for the power, communications and underground utility markets at the Utility Expo, Louisville, KY.

TT Technologies' redesigned Grundopit pit-launched mini directional drill is well suited for fiber-to-the-home and utility service line installations in tight working conditions.

The Grundopit is an ideal entry-level system for utilities, cable industries or as a supplement to larger units.

The new Grundodrill 5X represents the most advanced directional drill rig in its class, according to the manufacturer. The unit features a Tier IV-F, 56 hp Kohler engine, a single push button stake down system and independent front and rear lift. An all-weather 7-in. touchscreen display delivers real-time bore data and operational performance. The unit offers 12,000 lbs. (48 Kn) of thrust and pullback and 1,200 lbf/ft (1,627 Nm) of torque.
