The JV100 Maxi Drag Box from Altrad Generation is an extended drag box designed for long pipe runs where a standard drag box would limit productivity. The larger size reduces the number of repositioning moves required to complete the pipe run, improving output and reducing installation time on longer projects.
Like the JV100 Standard Drag Box, the Maxi uses the Excavate and Drag method: the box is positioned in a pre-dug trench and pulled forward by an excavator after each section of pipe laying is complete. At 2400kg, the Maxi Drag Box is engineered to be lightweight relative to its size, keeping handling and positioning straightforward.
Edge protection and ladder access systems are available as optional additions. The JV100 Maxi is compatible with Altrad Generation Manhole Boxes for combined applications.
