Battery Power for Remote Locations, Solar Wells or Freedom from Cords
|
Milwaukee, Dewalt and Rothenberger make battery powered drives that will power your Easy Riser.
Both products will develop the full capability of Easy Riser pump pullers and will thread up to 2” pipe using Rigid style dies.
Battery powered drives offer a very handy alternative but are as expensive as a new Rigid 700.

In addition to a portable power drive, you will need the following:
|
An overhead pipe frame. This is made from standard schedule 40 galvanized pipe. Instructions are in the owner’s manual. We don't ship these with the units because you would pay more for shipping than the pipe is worth, and most customers have ready access to 3/4 and 1 1/4 inch pipe and fittings.
|
|
A boat winch, chain fall, or come along. You probably have one of these.
