The Hose Recovery Units (HRU) provides an excellent high speed, low labour and low cost hose retrieving operation. The unique and patented hydraulic driven system of our HRU enables you to pick up hoses up to 12” (300 mm) – including couplings –  in a continuous way. Electronic sensors detect the coupling and opens the hydraulically operated rollers automatically one by one to let the coupling pass.

Product features

The HRU’s are powered by the truck hydraulics or by a diesel-driven powerpack. It can pick up the hose from one side (preferably driver’s side) of the vehicle.

It comes into operational position by just a push of a button, this operation can be done while the container is on the truck, to allow a safe operation. The HRU pulls the hoses into the HoseLayer container and two operators flake the hose. The compact design makes it possible to retrofit most of the existing Hytrans hose containers with this HRU.

  The HRU 200 handles hoses with a diameter of 4″ up to 8″ (100 mm up to 200 mm). This unit is available in combination with the Hytrans CombiContainer or with a HoseLayerContainer. The HRU 200 is installed in the front cabinet of Hytrans hose handling container and picks up the hose from the driver’s side of the vehicle.
  
• HRU 300
  The HRU 300 handles hoses with a diameter of 8″ up to 12″ (200 mm up to 300 mm). This unit is available in combination with the Hytrans CombiContainer or with a HoseLayerContainer. The HRU 300 is available as a Power Tilt or Demountable version. The Power Tilt is placed in operational position by means of a hydraulic cylinder. The Demountable needs to be placed in position by lifting it by a separate crane and place it is into the holder on the hose handling container. This basic version can be exchanged between multiple hose containers by means of a crane.

Fully automatic flaking required?

For even more efficiency, Hytrans provides the AutoFlaker. A unit that retrieves and flakes the coupled hoses automatically. No manpower needed inside the container as the unit goes back and forth as well as left and right to flake the hose. Read more about this unique Hytrans solution here.
