Unit Weight: 2 lbs.
High horsepower tractor with positive drive belts for superior drive, traction and stopping.
- More traction and stability than a wheel machine, yet able to travel on paved roads.
- 410 horsepower plus—depending on engine used.
- Differential steering — provides continuous power to both track belts, even in a turn.
- Power shift transmission, with inching foot pedal, 10 forward speeds and two in reverse.
- Extremely maneuverable—can turn in its own length.
- Very mobile—capable of speeds up to 18 mph.
- Economical—rubber belts outlast tires.
Exceptional design
- Front mounted cab for excellent visibility.
- Centered weight distribution while loaded.
- Increased pulling power with centered load.
- Extended roller frame decreases ground pressure allowing for better flotation and useability in soft terrain.
- Independent front suspension for smoother ride.
- Loaded ground pressure 9.1 PSI
- Empty ground pressure 3.6 PSI (with 36 inch belts)
The Challenger Services trailer utilizes the Mobil-trac system
providing more flotation and stability. The rubber tracks are
mounted with a bogie suspension. Brakes and/or hydraulic
motors are available as an extra cost option .
The trailer and dolly combined have a 90,000 lbs. net pay-
load capacity. This configuration can be used for pipe or
general cargo.
The Challenger trailer is also available without a dolly. The
undercarriage is center mounted, for balance, and it
functions as a semi-trailer hitched directly to the tow tractor.
Net payload capacity is 45,000 pounds. This configuration
can be towed from either end. An 8 foot extension on both
ends is available as an option.

Advantages
FAST, SAFE, COST EFFECTIVE!
1. It’s much faster than using pipe hooks, pipe forks, or pipe tongs.
2. It doesn’t damage the bevels on the end of the pipe or the coating, which in turn eliminates repair
cost due to handling.
3. It reduces or eliminates the need for men on the ground, thus cutting the cost per pipe joint handled.
4. It is the safe way to handle pipe. With no one close to the pipe when it’s moved, injuries to men on
the ground are eliminated, and the cost of insurance and workman’s compensation is reduced.

PDF - Material Handling Challenger Stick Extension
When used for stringing pipe along the right-of-way or han-
dling other material, the Challenger Stick Extension for
hydraulic excavators improves productivity and safety. It
allows for pin-point placement along the right-of-way
expecially in those hard to reach areas with poor
underfooting. Challenger Services offers this attachment to
fit all makes of excavators in the 40,000 to 70,000 lb.
ranges.
PDF - Pipeline Lined Steel Choker Belt
Completely lined belt allows the exact alignment
of pipe required for welding or bending. The
steel-lined fabric-faced belt holds the pipe firmly,
no slippage.
Ability to roll or pull pipe makes handling fast and
convenient. The belt is easily released when the
pipe is in position.
This bending belt comes in sizes up to 60 inches.
It can be adjust for coating thickness and is
repairable in the field.
