What is All Skid? and Explore pipe centralizer applications

It Starts Inside the Pipe.

Beneath our homes, streets, and businesses lies an extensive network of pipes that carry water, waste, and other essential services.
Maintaining these pipelines requires specialized equipment to inspect, clean, repair, and restore them from the inside.
But there’s a fundamental challenge that nearly every operation shares.
The tool is often smaller than the pipe it’s working inside.
That difference in size creates space for equipment to shift, drag along the bottom, encounter debris, or make unwanted contact with pipe walls.
These seemingly small issues can affect visibility, cleaning efficiency, equipment protection, and the quality of the work being performed.
Sometimes, improving performance doesn’t require a better tool.
It simply requires putting the tool in a better position.
That’s Where AllSkid Comes In.
AllSkid designs and manufactures adaptable centralizing systems that help position, support, and protect specialized equipment as it travels through pipelines.
Our products attach to existing equipment, helping operators control where their tools travel inside the pipe.
Whether elevating a camera above standing water, supporting a high-pressure jetting nozzle, stabilizing milling equipment, or maintaining consistent positioning during a coating or UV curing application, our mission remains the same.
Better positioning. Better performance. More work in fewer passes.
Four Applications. One Adaptable Platform.

1. Camera Inspection
A Better View. A Protected Lens. More Capability.
Imagine trying to inspect the inside of a pipe with a camera resting along the bottom.
Standing water, sediment, and debris can obstruct the lens, limiting visibility and making it difficult to assess the condition of the pipe.
But poor visibility is only part of the problem.
Pipelines frequently contain offset joints, cracks, and other irregularities that create hard edges inside the pipe. As an unsupported camera travels forward, its head and lens assembly can strike these obstacles repeatedly.
Over time, repeated impacts can damage the protective lens or compromise the camera’s seals. Even microscopic fractures or small failures in the sealing system can allow moisture to enter the camera housing.
Once inside, moisture can accumulate and damage sensitive electronics, potentially causing malfunctioning LEDs, distorted or intermittent video, and eventually complete camera failure.
AllSkid helps reduce these risks before they become costly repairs.
Our lightweight, hollow centralizers are designed to support and elevate compatible cameras, helping them travel above standing water, sediment, and certain pipe offsets.
The centralizer acts as a protective interface between the camera and the surrounding pipe, reducing direct impacts to the camera head and lens assembly.
Its lightweight, buoyant construction can also help keep the camera elevated in standing water, depending on the equipment and conditions.
By improving the camera’s position inside the pipe, operators gain a clearer, steadier view while reducing exposure to impacts that can shorten equipment life.
Because protecting the camera starts with protecting the lens.
More Than Camera Protection
Integrated Ports. Auxiliary Tools. Additional Lighting.
AllSkid camera centralizers are also designed with integrated ports that accommodate compatible auxiliary equipment, allowing operators to do more during a single inspection.
For example, a small flushing nozzle, such as a Mole or penetrator-style nozzle, can be supported alongside the camera. This allows operators to inspect the pipe while simultaneously flushing debris and observing the cleaning process in real time.
Instead of performing separate inspection and flushing operations, operators can potentially accomplish both tasks in a single pass.
Our centralizers can also accommodate optional auxiliary lighting.
When additional illumination is needed—or when a camera’s built-in LEDs have failed but the imaging system remains operational—a compatible compact light can be mounted within the centralizer to help illuminate the pipe interior.
This adaptability gives contractors additional options for keeping their equipment productive while improving visibility and expanding the capabilities of their existing camera systems.
One camera. Multiple functions. More work in fewer passes.
See more. Strike less. Protect the lens. Expand your capabilities.

2. High-Pressure Jetting & Cleaning
Better Positioning. More Effective Cleaning. Reduced Risk.
High-pressure water jetting is one of the most effective ways to clean pipelines. Specialized nozzles travel through pipes, directing powerful streams of water to remove grease, sediment, roots, and other obstructions.
But where the nozzle travels inside the pipe matters.
Without proper support, a jetting nozzle may ride along the bottom of the pipe, positioning its water jets farther from problem areas higher along the pipe walls.
Root intrusions, for example, frequently enter through joints, cracks, and other openings, including those near the top of the pipe.
AllSkid helps elevate and position jetting equipment, bringing the high-pressure water jets closer to these areas and helping operators make more effective use of their cleaning equipment.
Just as importantly, proper positioning can help prevent costly equipment retrieval problems.
Aging or damaged pipelines often contain broken sections, displaced joints, offsets, and areas of severe deterioration commonly referred to as trench rot.
An unsupported jetting nozzle can enter these openings and travel outside the intended pipe path. Once outside, the nozzle’s rear-facing jets can continue propelling it into surrounding soil, potentially leaving the equipment trapped underground.
Retrieval may require extensive labor, specialized equipment, or even excavation.
By positioning an appropriately sized AllSkid centralizer behind the jetting nozzle, operators can help bridge certain openings and reduce the likelihood of the nozzle entering damaged sections or escaping the pipe.
Our open, adaptable designs also maintain pathways for water and loosened debris to move around the equipment.
The result is more effective nozzle positioning, improved protection against common pipeline hazards, and fewer potentially costly interruptions.
Keep the cleaning power where it belongs—and the equipment where it belongs.
Better cleaning. Better protection. More work in fewer passes.

3. Milling & Mechanical Preparation
Better Visibility. Greater Control. Smarter Integration.
Some pipeline problems require more than high-pressure water.
Mechanical milling and preparation equipment uses rotating cutters, chains, brushes, and other specialized tools to remove hardened deposits, root intrusions, obstructions, and unwanted material from inside pipes.
During these operations, seeing what’s happening in real time is essential.
Operators often rely on inspection cameras positioned near the cutting equipment to monitor progress, guide the operation, and avoid unintended damage to the pipe.
Traditionally, this has meant taping a camera directly to the flexible drive shaft, an improvised solution that can result in unstable viewing, unwanted movement, and exposure to damaging camera strikes.
AllSkid provides a more engineered approach.
Our adaptable centralizers are designed to support auxiliary equipment alongside the primary tool, including inspection cameras, resin delivery lines, and other specialized attachments.
Instead of relying on tape, operators can secure compatible cameras within the centralizer’s integrated housing, helping maintain a steadier viewing position while reducing exposure to direct contact with pipe walls, debris, and milling equipment.
This approach helps operators monitor the work as it happens while protecting valuable inspection equipment.
And because our platform accommodates multiple tool configurations, these same principles extend beyond milling to coating, surface preparation, and other specialized rehabilitation operations.
One adaptable platform. Multiple tools working together.
See the work. Support the tools. Protect the equipment.

4. Specialized Coating & Rehabilitation
Steadier Viewing. Better Equipment Protection. More Consistent Results.
Not every damaged pipe needs to be excavated and replaced.
Modern trenchless rehabilitation technologies allow contractors to restore existing pipelines from the inside using specialized coatings, resins, liners, and ultraviolet (UV) curing systems.
These operations require careful control of equipment positioning, material application, and movement through the pipe.
AllSkid develops adaptable centralizing solutions that help contractors manage these challenges across multiple rehabilitation methods.
Resin Coating & Spray Applications
Stable Equipment. Consistent Delivery. Smoother Coatings.
During pipe-coating operations, contractors often attach inspection cameras and resin delivery hoses directly to a flexible drive shaft or hose using tape.
While functional, this common practice allows the equipment to move within the available pipe space, exposing the camera to repeated impacts against pipe walls and producing an unstable view of the application.
AllSkid replaces this improvised approach with an engineered solution.
Our centralizers securely house compatible inspection cameras while simultaneously supporting resin delivery lines and associated equipment.
By occupying more of the available pipe space, the centralizer limits excessive side-to-side movement and helps protect the camera lens from damaging pipe strikes.
During pullback, this stability provides operators with a steadier, more consistent view of the application on their monitor.
For brush-coating operations, reducing unwanted movement can also help maintain a more stable, uninterrupted puddle of resin at the application point, supporting more consistent material distribution along the pipe walls.
For spray applications, the same positioning principles help support the delivery hose and camera without requiring a rotating flexible shaft.
One integrated platform. Better visibility. More controlled application.
UV Curing & Light Head Support
Smooth Contact. Distributed Weight. Better Liner Protection.
Some pipeline rehabilitation methods use resin-saturated liners that are cured in place using ultraviolet light.
During this process, specialized UV light heads or connected light trains travel through the pipe, exposing the liner to controlled light energy that hardens the resin.
How this equipment is supported can influence the surface of the liner before it has fully cured.
Traditional fin-style centralizers support equipment on relatively narrow contact points. Under the weight of a light head or light train, these fins can concentrate pressure against the uncured liner.
During pullback, that concentrated pressure may leave depressions, grooves, or other surface irregularities in the resin.
As the UV light passes, these imperfections can become permanently cured into the liner, potentially affecting the smoothness of the finished pipe interior.
AllSkid takes a different approach.
Our super-lightweight UV centralizers feature a smooth, rounded exterior designed to distribute the equipment’s load across a broader contact surface.
Rather than concentrating weight on narrow fins, the rounded design helps reduce localized pressure against the uncured liner while supporting the light head’s position inside the pipe.
Depending on the equipment configuration, one or more AllSkid UV centralizers can be installed on a single light head or along a connected light train.
This adaptable arrangement allows operators to support and distribute the equipment’s weight across multiple contact locations.
The result is a smoother interface between the curing equipment and the uncured liner, helping reduce unwanted surface disturbances before the resin hardens.
Because a smoother curing process can contribute to a smoother finished pipe.

One Platform. Multiple Rehabilitation Technologies.

Whether supporting a camera and resin delivery hose during coating or distributing the weight of a UV light train during curing, AllSkid applies the same engineering philosophy:
Control the position. Protect the equipment. Support the process.
Better support. Less disruption. More consistent rehabilitation.
Built Around the Equipment You Already Own.
Different Manufacturers. Shared Standards. One Platform.
The pipeline industry includes countless tools and equipment manufacturers, but many of their products share common dimensions, hose sizes, shaft configurations, and operating requirements.
We recognized an opportunity.
Rather than developing a different accessory for every individual tool, why not create an adaptable platform that works across multiple manufacturers and applications?
That’s the thinking behind AllSkid.
Our modular systems use interchangeable components and adaptable connections to accommodate a wide range of compatible equipment.
A contractor might use the same centralizing platform for camera inspection today, cleaning tomorrow, and a specialized rehabilitation application on the next job.
But AllSkid does more than position a single tool.
Our systems can also serve as an integration platform, supporting auxiliary components such as inspection cameras and resin delivery lines alongside primary equipment.
Instead of replacing the equipment contractors already trust, we’re helping them expand what that equipment can accomplish.
We don’t just position tools. We help them work together.
