PortaBurst systems operate at low pressure, so you can choose from a variety of power supply options. Use a dedicated control unit or run it from your backhoe or compact excavator or any other hydraulic supply capable of 3,000 psi with a flow of at least 13 gpm. The cycle length of the 12" hydraulic cylinder supports production rates of up to 6 feet per minute.

Cable grip systems of other designs on the market do not keep constant tension on the cable as it recycles. Each time they stop to re-grab the cable, a bungee effect slows down progress. Our PortaBurst systems eliminate bungee effect to improve your productivity. The actuating cylinder pulls with a positive grip on the cable and a second grip holds the cable in place while the unit is recycling. Minimizing bungee provides a faster, more efficient burst.
