A Guide to Remote Jetting Reels
Enabling contractors to undertake jobs at a distance from the jetting machine, these robust units are custom built in a range of configurations to suit the work requirement. The most common caterpillar track systems are especially suited to off-road terrains, such as fields, golf courses, railway embankments and canal or riversides.
1. CONTROLS
The joystick-operated control panel allows for precision manoeuvring and efficient single-person operation. Units can also be operated remotely via a remote control handset.
2. ENGINES
Standard units are powered by a low-noise diesel engine. For indoor use, and in situations where fuel engines are prohibited, electro-hydraulic drive systems can be used.
3. REEL CAPACITY
Most units feature a hydraulic drive hose reel, available in various widths and hose capacities. A standard 1m wide reel has the capacity to carry 230m of 1” thermoplastic jetting hose.
4. CARRIAGE
Remote reel carriage configurations include tracked, wheeled and dumper arrangements. With a low ground pressure, tracks are ideal for use on delicate sites such as golf courses.
5. TERRAIN + STABILITY
Tracked units can operate on ground gradients up to 50% for working on steep slopes. Hydraulic stability bars and manual stabiliser jacks anchor the unit securely when in operation.
6. SAFETY + OPERATION
Beacons and LED work lights provide safe working conditions in remote areas and in low light. Units can be supplied with a stand-on platform or seat with seatbelt and anti-roll cage.
