Activ8™

Portable, Semiautomatic Wire Feeder

Activate your shipbuilding, offshore, construction or pipe welding operations with the Activ8™ portable wire feeder. Small enough to fit through ship manways and light enough to carry around the site, the Activ8™ is designed for tough welding environments with limited access. Compatible with compact 8 in. (203 mm) wire spools, the Activ8™ can be used with any DC CV or CC power source.
