More torque. More traction. More control — every pass, every tube.

PERFORMANCE & POWER for the Toughest Tube Cleaning Jobs

AutoBox 1L tractors deliver the strength and consistency you need to take on any job — from tight refinery bundles to tall vertical exchangers.

Our dual-belt drive system provides unmatched torque and traction, ensuring smooth, reliable lance feeding in any orientation.

Choose your power profile with air motor options engineered for precision control:

  • 300 RPM: Maximum torque for heavily fouled or vertical applications that demand extra pulling force

  • 500 RPM: Higher cleaning speed for standard operations and lighter deposits

AutoBox 1L Dual Belt Tractor for exchanger cleaning

Every detail — from lightweight modular components to toolless assembly — helps crews clean more exchanger tubes per shift with less downtime and fatigue. AutoPacks deliver the power, control, and safety features to clean smarter from day one.

PRODUCTIVITY by design

AutoBox tractors are engineered to adapt, because no two cleaning environments are alike. Whether you’re cleaning horizontal bundles in a refinery pit or vertical exchangers in a pulp mill, the AutoBox 1L system fits right in, delivering the same StoneAge performance and reliability everywhere you take it.

  • Dual-belt drive delivers more power and torque for longer runs and heavier hoses
  • Handles a wide range of lance sizes (up to 8–4) for heavily fouled or high-deposit exchangers
  • Compact, lightweight components make transport and setup a one-person job, even in tight or elevated spaces
  • Common architecture and accessories make upgrading seamless, not starting from scratch

Simplify setup. Maximize uptime. Do more with less.
