The C2400 Squeeze Boss sets a new standard for heavy-wall HDPE squeeze-off tools

Introducing the C2400 Squeeze Boss

At Footage Tools, we’ve spent more than 40 years pushing the boundaries of pipeline innovation. Today, we’re proud to introduce the C2400 SQUEEZE BOSS – the most powerful HDPE squeeze-off tool ever built.

Engineered to handle large-diameter, heavy-wall, High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, the C2400 is a game-changer for contractors and operators who demand speed, safety, and strength on every job.

With an industry-leading 791 tons of squeeze force (that’s over 1.5 million pounds), this hydraulic tool is the first of its kind to effectively squeeze up to 24″ SDR 7 HDPE pipe – a challenge long discussed in the industry but never realized, until now.

Designed specifically to withstand rigorous field conditions of the Permian Basin, the C2400 tackles one of the biggest challenges in oil and gas infrastructure: minimizing downtime and maximizing operational efficiency in pipeline operations in the toughest environments.

Key benefits and features of the C2400:

• Unmatched Power: 791 tons (1.5 M+ LBS) of squeeze force
• Heavy-Wall Pipe: Squeezes HDPE pipe from 16″ to 24″ up to SDR 7
• Proven Platform: Built on Footage Tools’ trusted framework for large diameter squeeze-off tools
• Extreme Durability: Designed for rugged job-site performance in extreme field conditions

This isn’t just an evolution – it is a breakthrough in pipeline planning and field operations.

BUILT TO MEET A GROWING INDUSTRY NEED

For years, operators and contractors asked for a stronger, more reliable squeeze-off tool to meet increasing use of thick-walled HDPE pipe in high-performance applications.

Since 2018, Footage Tools has been a leader in large diameter squeeze-off tools, successfully supporting squeeze-off of HDPE pipe up to 16″. The growing demand for 24″ SDR 7 squeeze-off capabilities led to collaboration with ISCO Industries (ISCO) to bring something new to life.

Together, we engaged with industry stakeholders, gathered insights, and engineered a tool to close the gap and open new possibilities for maintenance and safety in HDPE pipeline systems.

The first C2400 SQUEEZE BOSS tool was tested in late 2024. Full production units will be ready for use in May 2025. This is a tool built for the field and ready to work.

THE FUTURE OF HDPE PIPELINE OPERATIONS

The C2400 SQUEEZE BOSS is more than a tool – it’s a solution to some of the biggest challenges in HDPE pipeline operations: minimizing downtime, reducing costs, and increasing safety during in-stream maintenance.

Designed for versatility across multiple industries, the C2400 is ideal for:

• Oil and gas
• Natural gas
• Water and Wastewater
• Mining
• Landfill and Environmental
• Utility and Infrastructure Contractors
