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
Capitol Tunneling was awarded a Sub-Contract from E.S. Wagner on ODOT Project 277 (18) in Toledo Ohio in 2018 and patterning with Team Akkerman was vital to the project’s success. The installation consisted of 2600 feet of 66″ casing utilizing the Akkerman 540 series 2 TBM, the 5200 Pipe Jacking unit, and a wide range of support equipment. Not only did the equipment outperform our expectations, the technical support went above and beyond from the start. From onsite training at Akkerman’s facilities in Minnesota, to the project site training by expert field technicians, they provided support and expertise from set up to completion. Thank You Team Akkerman for making our project a success and for thoroughly educating our team members while providing world class equipment. Your commitment to excellence allowed us to complete the project the way Capitol Tunneling Inc. expects all project to be completed…On Line…On Grade…and On time
