Electric Muck Haul Systems
Akkerman operator‐controlled Haul Units transport spoil from the conveyor to the dirt bucket, along the track in the tunnel to the launch shaft for soil disposal.
Our Haul units are electrically driven, propel forward and reverse, and equipped with regenerative disc brakes.
Haul Units are available in two sizes in standard and extended lengths to complement our family of TBM models and dirt buckets. Two track gauge widths are available for efficient spoil transportation on all pipe jacking projects.
The largest capacity Haul Unit can be configured to trolley tandem dirt buckets on the large‐diameter projects.
FEATURES:
- Haul unit/muck cart systems for tunnels with 36‑in.+ minimum ID.
- Removable battery pack allows keeping spares to minimize downtime.
- Regenerative motor braking.
- Inching control for precise propulsion.
- Front and rear lights with flashing blue beacon.

Testimonials
With its purchase of an Akkerman Model 5000 pump unit, skid base, and WM72C wheel machine in 2006, Northeast Remsco began its partnership with Akkerman that has resulted in its successful completion of many trenchless projects over the ensuing years using conventional wheeled machines as well as a variety of pilot tube equipment. I call it a partnership because the Akkerman team provides advice on the best choice of trenchless equipment for a project as well as how best to overcome jobsite obstacles when they arise, as they inevitably do. From their sales staff to their factory support team, Akkerman employees work with us to get the most we can from the equipment and to get the jobs done safely. They are a pleasure to work with!
