The 4” Roller Chute has been designed to facilitate frictionless winding and unwinding of hydraulic hoses around a variety of obstacles at a safe bending radius.
The system consists of a semi-circular arrangement of 7 stainless steel rollers supported inside a sheet steel housing, engineered to enable a range of static deployments. Pad-eyes are positioned on the housing for connecting lifting sling apparatus, enabling safe lifting and repositioning. Weld plates and tether points are positioned on the sides of the Chute, enabling the Chute to be safely fixed in position when deployed.
The Roller Chute prolongs the integrity of tubing by reducing friction and maintaining a minimum bending radius of 850 mm. The Chute maximises the efficiency of winding and unwinding tasks, reducing the power consumption involved in these operations.
