Minicam Proteus Mainline Systems

Miniature to Massive — One Platform, Every Mainline

The Minicam Proteus Mainline System is a modular crawler inspection platform designed to handle the full range of municipal and industrial mainline sewer inspection. Built around a range of interchangeable components — tractors, cameras, cable reels, and control units — the Proteus system can be configured to precisely match your current requirements, and expanded as your business grows.

Whether you are inspecting 4-inch laterals or 40-inch trunk sewers, the Proteus platform delivers rugged, agile performance with rapid responsiveness to operator commands. JJE offers the full Proteus Mainline lineup with factory-authorized sales, training, and service support across Canada and the United States.

Why Choose the Proteus
