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.
A new design. Familiar 8-series capability.
The RG-8X lite brings the core power and drive system of the RG-8X to a newly designed machine—making 8-series performance accessible to more customers.
Built for roll grooving 1″–12″ pipes, it combines a 1500W motor with a 32 RPM operating speed. The new body design is paired with a dual-seal hydraulic cylinder and the proven 2X hydraulic pump.
For our engineer Arron, the goal was clear: preserve the performance customers value while offering an easier entry into the 8 series. That idea has guided the RG-8X lite throughout its development.
Expected to launch in early 2027.
We’ll share a closer look at the design and show it in action as the launch approaches.
