Hose Reel
A hose reel includes a frame, a spool supported on the frame for rotation relative to the frame, a motor supported on the frame to provide motive power to the spool, a level wind device supported on the frame to guide a hose during winding and unwinding; the level wind device being selectively linked to the rotation of the spool and including a disengagement clutch for selectively decoupling the operation of the level wind device from the rotation of the spool. The hose reel may be selectively operated to provide a power-out assist during unwinding that provides a power level to the motor less than a threshold power necessary to drive the spool in the unwinding direction.
Outdoor Hose Storage Enclosure
An outdoor hose storage enclosure is an apparatus that securely retains a hose and facilitates the deployment and storage of said hose. The apparatus may include a storage housing and a storage lid. The storage housing serves to retain the hose readily accessible for easy retrieval of the hose. The storage lid serves to seal the storage housing to protect the hose from the environment and theft. The storage housing may include a first lateral panel, a second lateral panel, a front panel, a first attachment mechanism, a second attachment mechanism, a bottom panel, and a hose opening. The first lateral panel, the second lateral panel, the front panel, and the bottom panel form the structure of the storage housing. The first attachment mechanism and the second attachment mechanism enable the mounting of the apparatus to the desired surface. The hose opening facilitates the deployment and storage of the hose.
Reel transport apparatus and method
An apparatus comprising a mobile carrier operable for transporting a reel of oilfield tubing across ground. The mobile carrier comprises a frame comprising a first frame portion, a second frame portion, and a central frame portion extending between the first and second frame portions. The first, second, and central frame portions define an opening for receiving the reel. The mobile carrier also comprises a locking mechanism operable to engage and rotate the reel within the opening, and a plurality of wheels supporting the frame on the ground. The plurality of wheels comprises a plurality of first wheels operably connected to the first frame portion and a plurality of second wheels operably connected to the second frame portion. The opening interposes the plurality of first wheels and the plurality of second wheels.
EXPANDABLE DRUM ASSEMBLY FOR DEPLOYING COILED PIPE AND METHOD OF USING SAME
A drum assembly includes a support bar, expandable spokes extending away from the support bar, drum segments mounted to the expandable spokes, support brackets disposed on the support bar, a primary mechanical actuator extending between the support brackets, and secondary mechanical actuators extending from the support brackets.
Expandable coil deployment system for drum assembly and method of using same
A coil deployment system and one or more methods of manipulating a coil deployment system, is provided. The coil deployment system has a trailer frame of one or more frame components including a pair of support brackets, a first pair of lower support arms, a second pair of lower support arms, a first pair of upper support arms, and a second pair of upper support arms. The trailer frame is adjustable such that the width and height of the trailer can be adjusted to manipulate and accommodate various sizes of coil drums of spoolable pipe deploy, collect, transport or store the spoolable pipe.
Sectional drain cleaner cable system for clean use, storage, and transport
Various storage containers are described for retaining drain cleaning cables. Storage systems utilizing the containers with a cable guide assembly are further described. Also described are methods of using the containers and systems.
Combination Capillary and Cable Spooling System
A combination capillary and cable spooling system for efficiently unspooling or spooling capillary and cable with respect to a workover rig. The combination capillary and cable spooling system generally includes a motorized vehicle having a platform, a first spool support attached to the upper surface of the platform adapted to rotatably support a first spool having a capillary line, a first motor attached to the first spool support to rotate the first spool, a second spool support attached to the upper surface of the platform to rotatably support a second spool having a cable line, and a second motor attached to the second spool support to rotate the second spool.
Mobile coiled tubing drilling apparatus
A mobile, coiled tubing drilling apparatus includes a non-rotating mast on a mobile platform. The mast has mounted thereon an injector, a coiled tubing reel having a tubing pay-off point associated therewith, and a tubing control system. The tubing control system is located between the reel and the injector, and includes a tubing abutment adjacent the tubing pay-off point for applying an opposite bend to the tubing during pay-out of the tubing. The reel is mounted for horizontal (x,y) movement such that, during pay-out of the tubing, the tubing pay-off point can be maintained generally above the injector, and can also be moved towards or away from the tubing abutment.
Handheld portable power hose roller
A portable hose winding machine includes a power head including a motor in a motor housing, with the motor having an output shaft and a bar coupled to the motor housing. The bar further includes an aperture or other fixtures such as a fairlead through which a hose is guided while being spooled up on a driven shaft. Spooling is driven by a rod axially parallel to and radially spaced apart from a driven spool shaft, and a protective plate shields the user's hands from errant spinning hose end fixtures.
Drain cleaner
A drain cleaner includes a shroud with a closed end and an open end opposite the closed end, a drum assembly positioned within the shroud and rotatable relative to the shroud, a flexible cable stored within the drum assembly, and a handle assembly coupled to and extending rearwardly from the shroud. The handle assembly includes a motor, a grip, and an actuator to selectively energize the motor. The actuator is enclosed between the grip and the shroud.
