Abstract
A system and method for efficiently and safely installing a pipe liner is provided, as well as methods of using the same. The system and method for efficiently and safely installing a pipe liner may provide an inverter configured to invert the pipe liner by introducing pressure into the pipe liner; provide a top roller, provide an assist system located between the inverter and the top roller, the assist system comprising: a main housing having a main housing top and a main housing bottom, and each of the main housing top and the main housing bottom having an opening; a first interior roller; a second interior roller; and a first motor; and feed the pipe liner onto the top roller, wherein the assist system feeds the pipe liner from the top roller to the inverter in an efficient and controller manner.
