Quick connect/disconnect design enables setup in 30 seconds or less.
Remote control operation enhances operator efficiency and safety.
Equipped with electronic sensors and safety features to prevent accidental damage.

Specifications:

Hose Diameter: 14 inches (355 mm).
Power: 220, 480, 575 Volts, with a max draw of 7 Amps when the internal heater is on.
Deploy/Retraction Speed: 1.4 ft/second deploy rate and 1.0 ft/second retract rate, adjustable upon testing.
Construction: Stainless steel frame with aluminum skin and weatherable white low gloss finish.

Models and Options:

BAU-040: 40 feet (15.2 meters) max hose length, 1,050 lbs (467 kgs).
BAU-080: 80 feet (21.3 meters) max hose length, 1,175 lbs (533 kgs).
BAU-135: 135 feet (41.1 meters) max hose length, 1,350 lbs (612 kgs).
Custom lengths up to 135 feet (41.1 meters) available upon request.

Mounting Options: The system offers flexible mounting options, including brackets that clamp onto bridge structures to avoid permanent changes. Other options include under-bridge and under-cabin mounts, subject to space constraints.

Benefits: The system addresses common field problems such as hose kinking and damage, reducing maintenance costs and improving safety by preventing injuries and lost workdays. It also eliminates the "Cobra Effect" where unattended hoses are pulled into engines.
