General Pipe’s Speedrooter XL Blends Long Distance Clog-Busting Power with Easy Drum Changes
The rugged, easy-to-maneuver Speedrooter XL sports a powerful 3/4 hp motor and 100-foot capacity drums for Flexicore cable.
Drums are designed to be changed easily to add cable lengths or swap cable sizes by loosening three knobs and removing the drum. The large drum accommodates ¾-inch or 5/8-inch cables, and General’s see-through inner cage allows operators to quickly gauge how much cable remains. For smaller lines, the large drum can be replaced with a small drum holding 100 feet of ½-inch cable.
Variable speed cable feed offers raw driving and pulling power for long, tough jobs – feeding and retrieving ¾-inch, 5/8-inch and ½-inch cables. To adjust ¾-inch or 5/8-inch cables, simply turn a knob on top of the feed with no screwdriver required.
One person can easily load the Speedrooter XL onto a truck. The machine’s frame slides smoothly from the loading wheel to the handle to stair climbers and finally to the wheels. The adjustable swept back handle also provides maximum maneuvering leverage. The durable design features a braced frame at key stress points, front and rear drum supports for longer bearing wear, and Flexicore cable.
Flexicore cable offers kink resistance and unequalled strength with the right amount of flexibility.
