Test With The Best

McElroy unveils modernised website PIPE fusion equipment manufacturer McElroy has launched its newly redesigned website. The entire fusion website has been designed to be more inviting, informative and mobile- friendly, and is easy to use, providing machine information as well as fused piping system information to both frequent and first-time users. With a new menu structure, machines are grouped into two distinct categories based on the type of industries served: underground/construction – for equipment fusing traditional thermoplastics like HDPE, MDPE, PA12 and Fusible PVC ® ; and mechanical/HVAC/plumbing – for equipment fusing polypropylene pipe including PP-R and PP-RCT. All product lines include an overview of the features and benefits. Individual product pages include all information and collateral pertinent to the particular machine within the product line, for example part numbers; photos, videos and animations; machine specifications; literature; and accessories and replacement parts. A search feature has been added that allows visitors to search for products, articles, accessories and more. An optional tutorial to help visitors navigate the site is also offered.
