Dressta pipelayers benefit from modular power train systems, whereby individual drive train components can be removed without the need to disturb adjacent components. Rigid mounted track frames ensure stability in the most arduous conditions and a resilient four-piece pipelayer frame is mounted to both the track frame and main-frame to accommodate hydraulic winches and counterweights on one side of the machine. The rugged box-section boom is symmetrically mounted on the opposite side for simplified removal/installation.

Sophisticated pipelaying equipment includes independent hydraulic winches for hook and boom with multiple-disc brakes for reliable and smooth operation and positive retention of boom and hook.

The operator’s cab offers enhanced operation ease with low effort hydraulic controls with very short stokes.

Work safety has been improved by the use of emergency free-fall on the load line, automatic boom kick-out to prevent boom bending, an automatic overwind device and a load indicating device.
