UNSPSC 27121807: Hydraulic puller

Hydraulic pullers are used for efficient removal of gears, bearings, wheels, pulleys and other pressed fit parts. Hydraulic power offers a controlled means of applying force without the need for hammering or heating.

UNSPSC 27121807 Hydraulic puller is a Commodity code that covers specialized equipment for fluid transfer and extraction operations. State and local governments use this code to procure hydraulic pulling devices and related power-transmission equipment for municipal infrastructure maintenance, particularly sewer system servicing and vacuum trailer operations. The City of Pembroke Pines recently solicited a used tractor truck equipped with a power take-off (PTO) system to drive a sewer vacuum trailer pump—a common application where hydraulic pullers enable high-horsepower fluid extraction in wastewater collection and maintenance. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal departments managing public utilities and sanitation infrastructure, with smaller cities and special-purpose water/sewer districts as typical buyers. The equipment specifications typically call for diesel-powered vehicles or dedicated machinery with PTO-driven hydraulic capabilities, substantial weight ratings, and robust transmission systems to handle sustained fluid-pumping operations.

The City of Pembroke Pines (Florida) posted IFB PSUT26QQ03 on August 20, 2026, for a used Cummins-diesel tractor with an 80,000-pound gross vehicle weight rating, minimum 400 horsepower, and tandem-axle configuration to support vacuum-trailer pumping, with response due August 27, 2026. The solicitation required model year 2020–2023 equipment with mileage not exceeding 250,000 miles, air-ride suspension, and a two-year Cummins engine warranty, with delivery within 60 calendar days of purchase order issuance. Vendors must carry $1 million per occurrence general liability and $1 million combined single-limit auto liability insurance. The code sees modest recent activity focused on southeastern municipal utilities; geographic concentration in the source is limited to this single opportunity in Florida, reflecting the specialized and project-specific nature of hydraulic-puller procurement within state and local government.
