Launch Into the Unknown with Confidence
The Minicam Proteus Lateral System is purpose-built for one of the most operationally demanding inspection tasks in the industry: accessing and surveying lateral pipe connections from the mainline, without surface disruption. Centered on the self-propelled LAT150 crawler, the system delivers the range, reliability, and imaging capability needed for pre-acceptance inspections, cross-bore detection, inflow and infiltration surveys, and structural assessments of lateral connections.
JJE is an authorized Minicam dealer offering sales, training, and service support for the Proteus Lateral System across Canada and the United States.
Why Choose the Proteus Lateral System
- Inspects mainlines from 6″ diameter: The LAT150 traverses mainline pipes as small as 6 inches using Minicam’s patented quick-release wheel system, with wheel sizes of 3.5″, 4.5″, and 5.5″ available.
- Lateral inspection down to 2.5″: The self-propelled lateral camera unit accesses lateral connections as small as 2.5 inches in diameter.
- Over 150 feet of lateral deployment range: Provides substantial reach into lateral connections for comprehensive structural and operational assessment.
- 8-wheel drive as standard: Ensures reliable traction and stability when navigating debris and in-pipe obstacles in the mainline.
- Observation and reversing cameras included: Standard-fit cameras provide the operator with full situational awareness during crawler deployment and retrieval.
- Pan-tilt camera functionality with laser measurement (CAM050): Continuous 360° rotation, ±135° pan, integrated distance sensor, and twin lasers for precise defect sizing and pipe diameter measurement.
Deployment Tubes and Accessories
Deployment tubes in multiple sizes allow the LAT150 to be accurately positioned for lateral entry in larger mainlines. The unique pivot design enables tool-free attachment and removal across all tube sizes. The Lateral Pin Kit (ASS-006-322) is a useful addition to the CAM050 pan-tilt camera, assisting directional guidance through bends and junctions within the lateral pipe.
JJE’s authorized Minicam specialists can help you assess whether the LAT150 is the right solution for your lateral inspection requirements, and provide guidance on vehicle integration, training, and ongoing service support.
