Description of Equipment 

The Inuktun 

Versatrax 50™ In-Line (VT50) is a portable pipe inspection system which utilizes one to three 

Picotracs™ in an inline configuration with integrated traction control arms to fit in a 50-100mm (2-4 inch) 
pipe  range.  The  vehicle 

comes  standard  with  an  Inuktun  Onyx™  camera  and  will  support  an  optional 

Inuktun 

Spectrum 45™ pan-and-tilt camera with on-board LEDs to facilitate visual inspections in 78-102mm 

(3-4  inch)  pipe  sizes.    The  vehicle  can  be  configured  to  use  one,  two  or  three  Picotracs,  depending  on 
distance.  

All Versatrax™ hardware can be used underwater and in dirty, muddy conditions. The rugged 

design ensures a long service life and helps protect the vehicle from damage during normal use.
