DGY40 Side Boom Pipe Layer

Key Components of a Side Boom Pipe Layer

Boom:

A strong, extendable arm mounted on the side of the machine, designed for lifting and positioning pipes precisely.

Winch System:

Equipped with hydraulic or mechanical winches for smooth control during lifting and lowering operations.

Counterweight:

Balances the load on the boom side to ensure stability, especially when handling large-diameter pipes.

With HBXG SD7LGP Chasis:

Provides excellent ground traction and stability for working on uneven or soft terrain.

Operator Cabin:

Modern pipe layers feature ergonomic, enclosed cabins with advanced controls for precise maneuvering and improved safety.

Applications of Pipelayer Sideboom Pipeline Construction Equipment

Oil and gas transmission pipelines

Water distribution networks

Industrial process pipelines

Construction of refineries and chemical plants

Lifting and handling of heavy steel pipes or structural sections

Types of SideBoom Pipe Layers

Crawler Side Boom Pipe Layer:

Built on a crawler tractor base (often a converted bulldozer).

Offers superior traction and stability on rough terrain.

Commonly used in large-scale cross-country pipeline projects.

Wheeled Side Boom Pipe Layer:

Mounted on a wheeled chassis for greater mobility on paved or semi-solid surfaces.

Ideal for shorter-distance or urban pipeline work.

Hydraulic Side Boom Pipe Layer:

Utilizes hydraulic systems for smooth and precise control of lifting operations.

More efficient and safer compared to older mechanical versions.

Electric or Hybrid Side Boom Pipe Layer (Emerging Type):

Designed for reduced emissions and improved energy efficiency.

Growing in popularity in environmentally sensitive projects.

Advantages of Using a Side Boom Pipe Layer

✅ High Lifting Capacity: Capable of handling pipes up to several tons safely.

✅ Enhanced Stability: Side-mounted design and counterweights reduce tipping risk.

✅ Operational Flexibility: Works efficiently on slopes and rugged terrain.

✅ Safety and Precision: Modern hydraulic controls improve accuracy and reduce operator fatigue.

✅ Ease of Maintenance: Modular design and widely available parts ensure long service life.

The side boom pipe layer remains one of the most indispensable machines in the pipeline construction industry. Its robust structure, precise lifting capability, and adaptability to rough terrain make it the preferred choice for pipeline contractors worldwide. As hydraulic and hybrid technologies evolve, future side boom models are expected to deliver even greater efficiency, safety, and environmental performance. Contact us!
