S660E Electric Rodder for Telecom & Fiber Installation

OK Champion Rodders for Telecom & Conduit Rodding

Prepare the Path Before the Cable Goes In

Successful fiber and telecom installations start long before cable is pulled. Conduit must be clear, verified, and ready to accept installation lines. TSE’s OK Champion rodders provide a reliable, controlled method for clearing underground conduit systems — helping contractors move efficiently from civil construction to cable installation.

Trusted for decades in demanding underground environments, OK Champion rodders provide proven power and control to clear and prepare conduit for telecom, fiber and underground cable installations.


How the OK Champion Rodder Supports Telecom Installation

The rodder performs critical conduit preparation tasks:

✅ Rods and clears conduit to remove debris or obstructions
✅ Clears duct pathways prior to cable installation
✅ Installs pull rope or mule tape for future cable pulls

Once rodding is complete, crews can immediately proceed with cable pulling operations.

DRIVE SYSTEM:

Direct rod head drive with no chains or other mechanical power transmission devices electric/hydraulic drive head with variable speed 35 hp electric motor

Rod drive head includes three pairs of drive rollers directly driven through pinion gears of two hydraulic motors with three other drive rolls mounted on stationary shafts and three opposing drive rollers mounted on adjustable shafts for wear compensation

Clamping force on the rod through the drive rolls is applied hydraulically with pressure proportional to the pulling or pushing force to eliminate excess wear in light rodding conditions, allowing maximum torque during heavy load conditions

Drive rolls rotate on radial thrust bearings and can be replaced without removing the drive head

Two speed drive motors are plumbed directly from a hydraulic swivel barrel with stainless steel tube type fittings and without the use of black pipe or flexible hoses

SPECIFICATIONS:

Rotation Speed: 0 to 150 rpm
• Rod push/pull force is 1,588 kg (3,500 lbs.) at 200 fpm and 3,175 kg (7,000 lbs.) at 100 fpm
8,000 lbs @ 100 fpm
Capacity for 2,200’ of .375” diameter rod (.393” and .461” rod available upon request)

BATTERY SYSTEM (Electric Powered Option):

96 Volt - 200Ah battery with controller
Eight-hour battery capacity with intermittent use 200Ah Capacity – 19.2 kWh energy
350 Amp continuous – 33.6 kW continuous

CONTROLS:

All controls and instruments are located in a single control panel at the rear passenger side of the skid.
