The Pipe Trekker A-200 pipe inspection crawler gives municipalities, contractors, and inspection crews a portable platform for sewer, stormwater, and pipeline inspections. Built for pipes 8" and larger, the A-200 combines magnetically coupled drives, up to 130 lb of pull force, Full HD PTZ imaging, and a motorized camera lift in a rugged crawler that's waterproof to 50 m / 164'.
Choose the A-200S when portability and a straightforward battery-powered field setup are the priority. Step up to the A-200X for a powered tether reel, 10" rugged tablet, reporting software, and rear camera. Both packages use the same capable sewer pipe inspection crawler platform and can be configured with different wheels, tracks, and power options to match the job.
