The patented Performer pipelayers family has officially presented the mid version of the renowned Performer 980. A 72 tons capacity model (with possibility to extend the range up to 75 tons) is now available on the market and already laying down a 24” line on the east coast of Italy. The Italian Company Impresa Trecolli SpA (recently IPLOCA member) has been the first customer receiving the new Performer 720: it keeps the patented tracks dismounting system to cut cost and time of mobilization of the pipelayers and keeps the full electronic platform providing LMI, anti-tipping, free fall and boom kick-out. Different counterweight, smaller Bosch Rexroth reduction, 800 mm tracks and a 7.3 m boom are the main differences with the bigger model.
