piping a timber grab

[john p]

i have just fitted a double extension atlas crane which is piped up to the end of the main arm for auxillarys,whats the best way to run the next stage of pipes on the extensions so they dont end up in a baggy tangled mess.there is approximatley 4mtrs of extension.cheers:001_smile:

you can buy metal housing for them that protects them, can be quite pricey but ill be worth it in the long run, if not they will just get in the way like you say.

You want some Teck reels (sp)

 

They are spring loaded reels that allow the hose to be pulled out and the taken back in.

Is that what Stan had on his 1650 Huck?

Yes most places should be able to get them, I think they are quite dear, but are by far the neatest way.

I can get some pics of how not to do it. Complete with orange bailer twine and tyraps and anything else that came to hand.
