Ashtead Technology has set the standard for powered umbilical reels, with our models becoming the generic terms of reference across the industry.
Models include the 1″, 2″ 4″, Type 5 and Type 6 reels, which can deploy hoses and umbilicals from 1⁄4” up to 2,500m of 110mm diameter. Our Type 5 reel can also be used to deploy our 6″ hard wall hose.
Our reels are designed, built and certified to DNV standards and are designed to deploy, brake and recover their maximum payloads. Live fluid and electrical slip ring centres can be fitted where required.
We also offer powered umbilical reels certified to NORSOK Z-015 Rev 4.
Reels can be modified to meet project specific requirements, for example to include multicore rotary couplings and electric slip rings, and meet the required radius specifications. Remote control and spooling gear functions allow clients to reduce the number of required personnel and reduce personnel proximity to live products during spooling operations.
All necessary calculations are undertaken to ensure that the correct equipment is supplied to accommodate client hoses and umbilicals.
The assembly, testing and spooling of clients’ hoses can also be carried out during the mobilisation and demobilisation phases of a project.
We have an extensive stock of hoses and umbilicals ranging from 1⁄4” to 6 id available for rental with our reels.
