We continue to expand our portfolio with an innovative range of electric Gecko Cutters, now gaining traction across the UK trenchless market.
In 2025, we launched two additions to our Gecko equipment range: the Gecko E Lateral and Gecko E Power Cutters. To address evolving market requirements, we identified an opportunity to expand our portfolio and collaborated closely with our manufacturer to develop two systems tailored specifically for the UK and Australian trenchless rehabilitation markets.
Both systems were engineered to meet the increasing demand for electrically powered, compact, and highly manoeuvrable cutters capable of delivering precision performance in confined environments. The E Power and E Lateral are powered by electricity (110V/230V), reducing reliance on diesel generators and lowering site emissions and noise levels. Full battery-operated versions of the systems are also available, meaning no limitations when it comes to restricted access sites.
Phil Steele, Sales Director, remarked: “With strong early adoption across the UK market, we’ve already sold eight Gecko E Lateral Systems and two Gecko E Powers since bringing the units to market in summer 2025. We expect increasing uptake across the market as the industry continues to adopt the new technology and reap the benefits of fast, smooth, electric cutting. Both systems offer high levels of precision, portability, and ease of use, supported by features such as 360° continuous cutter head rotation and integrated CCTV monitoring. We believe the Gecko Cutters represent a revolutionary advancement for the trenchless sector and can’t wait to see more contractors invest.”
To support industry adoption and provide contractors with hands-on opportunities, we recently introduced the Gecko Demo Van, fully equipped with both cutting systems. Our experienced technical team are travelling across the UK to demonstrate the capabilities of the Gecko E range, offering complimentary on-site demonstrations to allow contractors and industry professionals to experience the systems in operation.
The Gecko E Lateral Cutter is engineered for precision and flexibility, expertly removing obstructions and reopening lateral connections in pipes ranging from 75mm to 225mm, with cutting head variants covering 70-150mm and 100-225mm applications.
Designed to navigate bends up to 90°, with integrated front and rear cameras and LED lighting to support precise reinstatement operations, the system is available with 25m, 50m or 70m cable options to suit your individual requirements. This compact, low-emission unit is built for efficiency and portability – ideal for sites with limited access.
The Gecko E Power is a cutting robot designed for ultimate versatility and precision in pipe rehabilitation. With emission-free, ultra-quiet electric operation, the E Power is engineered for use in pipe diameters ranging from 150mm to 600mm, with a powerful brushless 48V motor. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for navigating restricted access sites.
Lightweight and portable, with a robot weight of approximately 36kg and a compact reel designed for rapid deployment, the Gecko E Power is built for convenience on the job site.
To support customers throughout the lifecycle of the equipment, we offer a comprehensive UK-based service and maintenance programme. Our dedicated team provides everything from routine servicing to emergency repairs, with a wide selection of spare parts held in stock to help meet tight deadlines and minimise downtime for customers.
The Gecko E Lateral and E Power enhance our portfolio and establish a new benchmark for electric cutting technology within the trenchless sector, combining emission-free operation, ultra-quiet performance and advanced robotic control capabilities. The systems enable contractors to work smarter, safer, and more efficiently in even the most complex pipe rehabilitation scenarios.
