Stringing with vacuum shoe

Volvo EC460B with vacuum shoe (VIETZ)

• Vacuum shoe can be driven by separatesmall diesel engine on top of the shoe

or• Alt. Vacuum shoe can be hydraulicallydiven (X1)

• Hydraulic slew motor (X3)

Stringing with a normal Excavator and a vacuumshoe is very common, as long as the pipes arenot too heavy.

With a slew motor you can position the pipesexactly where you want them
