Rolling 28
Posted by Ben Murphy on
The McElroy Rolling 28 has staked its claim as the industry standard for more than 30 years. Its ease of use and rugged quality construction opened the door for the most extensive line of 8-inch fusion machines on the market. The Rolling 28 can be ordered as a Combination Unit (CU) for sidewall fusion.
The Rolling 28 incorporates an interchangeable 4-jaw carriage that can be easily removed for in-ditch fusion. For tight installations, the outer fixed jaw and skid can be removed from the carriage converting it to a 3-jaw carriage for an even more compact fusion unit.
The Rolling 28 HP combines the versatility and convenience of a rolled chassis with a hand-pump fusion carriage. The 28 HP features a double-action hand pump that works in unison with high-velocity cylinders to create fast carriage speeds for quick opens and closes during fusion processes.
