The Band Crawler is ideal for use when there is a minimum amount of clearance around the pipe. The stainless steel band can be positioned in tight areas of pipe runs that need repair as it requires only 6" (153mm) clearance. The light flexible band will allow the Band Crawler to give a consistent bevel on severely out-of-round pipe, as the band conforms to the pipe shape.Bands from 6" to 12" (152mm to 305mm) are made from 14 gauge stainless steel. Bands 14" (356mm) and larger are made from 12 gauge stainless steel.
