The HD camera, tractor and 1200-ft of cable are controlled with a dual joystick inside the vehicle’s control room or through a pendant, allowing operators to guide the system at the manhole. Kraschinsky notes, “The Voyager™ high-definition camera competes very well with European products and exceeds them in many areas. Production units start shipping in September of 2022.” The Voyager system is just the latest release in the pipeline inspection category of Aries Industries equipment. Aries LETS 6.0 (Lateral Evaluation System) has long been considered one of the top lateral launchers in the industry. This vehicle-based system allows a lateral camera to be launched from a mainline pipe at a 135° angle with or against the flow. Together with the Voyager™ HD, these systems provide a complete solution for mainline and lateral inspection for contractors and municipalities. Delivering complete inspection and rehabilitation systems is not the only way Aries has responded to customer feedback. The company has also released enhancements to components, such as a new dual reel, laser profiler, and a mobile enclosure for inspection equipment. The dual reel has a compact footprint to free up truck space, while the laser profiler adds another layer of inspection capability. The Trailblazer Mobile Enclosure adds to Aries options for equipment transport. Providing a comfortable, safe, and well-equipped working platform for their pipeline and inspection equipment is one of Aries specialties. They provide a range of vehicle options, from high-cube trucks, vans, and trailers and now, the Trailblazer. The goal is to deliver a mode of equipment transport that meets a municipality’s need or a contractor’s need, whether it’s a one-person operation or a major player in the underground infrastructure industry.
