Rescue Rod constantly invests in equipment that provides more efficient and effective methods for completing each and every job for our clients.

Our latest investment is for our Pipeline Rehabilitation department

Last week, Stabilini Claudio, the Export Manager for the Cable Laying Equipment Department of Volta Macchine SRL in Italy, came through to Rescue Rod for the week to train us up on the VOLTA VM4000RIS Hydraulic Pipe Renewal Winch.
