The Pipe Trekker A-150 pipe inspection crawler gives municipalities, contractors, and inspection crews a compact, portable platform for wastewater and sewer inspections. Built for pipes starting at 6", the fully steerable crawler uses a track-belt drive to move through disjoints, mud, debris, and other obstacles while a robotic lift arm helps center the camera in pipes up to 24".
Choose the A-150S when portability and a straightforward battery-powered setup are the priority. Step up to the A-150X when you want powered tether handling, tablet-based controls and reporting, and additional traction options. Both packages use the same capable portable sewer inspection crawler platform with Full HD pan/tilt imaging and a 50 m / 164' depth rating.
