McElroy’s TracStar® 500 Series 3 will butt fuse pipe sizes from 6” IPS to 20” OD (180mm – 500mm). In 1997, the TracStar 500 debuted as the world's first self-contained, self-propelled, all-terrain fusion machine. Considered the flagship McElroy fusion machine, the success of the TracStar 500 spawned the entire TracStar line of fusion equipment.
The Automatic TracStar 500 Series 3 features a facer and heater that are indexer- mounted and powered by the machine. A new economy engine throttle setting is standard to help conserve fuel.
