Akkerman carries a comprehensive inventory of used equipment and accessories from our rental and lease fleet. All tunneling equipment and accessories are no more than two-years-old and have been thoroughly serviced. In fact, Akkerman has so much confidence in the integrity of its used equipment that it comes with the same warranty as our new equipment. See the categories to the below to view our current inventory of equipment and accessories.

Please contact Steve Garbisch, Robin Lorenzen or Troy Stokes for more information on these products. Check back often as inventory changes weekly.

Conventional Pipejacking “Manned Entry” Pipejacking Systems are used to install underground pipelines of approximately 44” or larger within strict alignment and grade tolerances where personnel-entry (i.e. operator located inside the boring machine and/or on the haul cart) is permissible.
Belt Conveyors Belt conveyors transport spoils from the TBM face to the haul bucket for removal on the haul care. Conveyors are offered in several sizes to maximize the performance for each size boring head. A screw conveyor performs better in certain sticky or sloppy ground conditions.
Akkerman Used Belt Conveyors Available

Telescopic Cylinder Jacking System The multi-cylinder jacking system is practical for pipe 42" O.D. or larger; its biggest advantage is the ability to increase jacking thrust for larger pipe. The number of cylinders and total thrust in the system is determined by project requirements, contractor preferences and the safe load capacity of the jacking pipe.

Microtunneling Microtunneling is generally defined as remotely controlled pipejacking (personnel-entry is not required) whereby the soils at the cutter face are controlled to maintain balance. Muck removal is conducted through slurry transport via variable frequency controlled centrifugal pumps.
Control Containers Akkerman has the most advanced Information and Control System available. The major components that are housed in the control containers are the control console, power distribution, transformer and hydraulic power pack. All system controls are located for easy access by the operator. Standard control container features include: climate controlled operator area, planned access and connection area for all control cables, hydraulic hoses (universal to all Akkerman MTBM sizes), and separate operator/mechanical areas. All components meet National Electrical Codes (NEC).

MTBMs Heads (MTBM 24, 30, 26, 44, 46, 52.5, 60, 72, 74 O.D.) The microtunneling boring heads (MTBM) pilot the course and excavate the ground. They have many features specially designed to achieve high performance in soil conditions ranging from flowing unstable ground to hard rock. Simultaneously, slurry is pumped to the MTBM, mixed with the spoils and pumped to the surface for separation. Akkerman MTBMs have a pressure balanced cutting chamber and slurry spoil removal to provide maximum control of the soil at the cutter face. They are electrically powered to give optimum efficiency and cutting torque, especially on long drives. MTBMs are available in sizes 24-102” O.D. with the addition of an increase kit.
