Go Mobile: Valve Maintenance Made Easy

Mobile Valve Exercising systems are a valuable investment for local councils to help maintain water network valves safely and efficiently, reducing the need for costly repairs and replacements.


Communities rely on water utilities to ensure a safe and consistent water supply. In order to maintain the supply, the infrastructure requires maintenance to keep valves in good condition allowing water utilities to shut down areas of the distribution system safely and swiftly when needed. If the valves remain unused for long periods of time, they are subject to corrosion affecting their functionality and rendering them inoperable.

Mobile Valve Exercising systems offer an attractive economic, safe, and mobile solution to this challenge. Designed to help mitigate the risks associated with valve corrosion and provide a swift and safe response to emergencies.

The Compact

The Compact Mobile Valve Exerciser is an ideal solution for small councils and water boards who understand the importance of valve exercising and are looking to streamline their maintenance program. With a safe, efficient, and smart system, the Compact unit is simple to run with a manual start and an easy-to-operate hydraulic arm.

The Compact LX

Ensure reliable controlled water by stepping up to the Compact LX Mobile Valve Exerciser, designed with increased power, a hydraulic arm, and smart digital controls for safe operation ensuring reliable controlled water for councils and water boards looking to invest in the future of their water network. The machine can be mounted on a trailer, skid or flatbed trailer for quick and easy access and transport. It is equipped with a Valve Information Tracking And Logging System (VITALS software) equips an operator to record live critical valve information.

The Standard LX

The Standard LX is a heavy-duty Mobile Valve Exerciser, used mainly in medium to large city councils or remote locations. It is the top-of-the-range valve maintenance system available. It has heavy-duty strength and power and combines all the necessary features required for hydro-excavation & valve turning. From control & data management to the VITALS software, you have access to read and record critical valve information live.
