Summary
Meet the upcoming RG-8X lite, a 1″–12″ pipe roll grooving machine that brings 8-series performance within easier reach. Retaining the RG-8X power and drive system, it combines a 1500W motor, 32 RPM operating speed, redesigned body, dual-seal hydraulic cylinder, and proven 2X hydraulic pump. Launch is expected in early 2027.
What makes it an 8-series machine—even with “lite” in its name?
The upcoming RG-8X lite retains the power and drive system of the RG-8X, pairing a 1500W motor with a 32 RPM operating speed for 1″–12″ pipe roll grooving.
The changes go beyond its appearance. A redesigned body, a hydraulic cylinder with a dual-seal design, and the proven 2X hydraulic pump form the foundation of this new model.
Throughout development, our engineer Arron focused on one question: How can we retain the performance that matters while making the 8 series more accessible?
- The RG-8X lite is our answer.
Expected to launch in early 2027.
More design details and demonstrations will follow.
