An automated coiling system for post-tension tendons, comprising a frame, a tendon feed device adapted to introduce a tendon of widely varying length into a coiler assembly, a coiler assembly adapted to grip and coil the tendon within a fixed volume having a predefined diameter; a plurality of wire tying devices adapted to securely tie a wire around the tendon bundle of widely varying diameter in a plurality of predetermined positions and cut the wire after tying; and a tendon ejector device adapted to urge a tied tendon bundle from the coiler assembly.

A hose-pull apparatus for mounting to an irrigation system mobile tower supporting a fluid-carrying conduit. The hose-pull apparatus includes a swivel, a first pipe section, a joint, and a second pipe section. The swivel is configured to be in fluid communication with the conduit and rotate about a vertical axis. The first pipe section has a first end connected to the swivel and a second end extending outwardly from the swivel so that the first pipe section can pivot horizontally. The joint is connected to the second end of the first pipe section. The second pipe section has a first end connected to the joint so that the second pipe section can articulate relative to the first pipe section. The joint also has a second end configured to be in fluid communication with a supply hose.

A hose caddy includes a body made of a rigid material. The body includes a tube shape with an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface defines a channel having a first open end, and a second open end. One, or more, couplers protrude from a rear side of the outer surface of the body and couples the body to a surface. At least one hook protrudes from a front side of the outer surface of the body.

An asymmetric bearing device automatically decreases, without the need for manual adjustment, an amount of friction exerted against rotation of a drum or other mechanism upon reversal of the direction of rotation of the drum.

A winding assistance device for tubular members having a first cuff including an elongate body defining a first cuff longitudinal axis, the elongate body of the first cuff having a C-shaped transverse cross-sectional profile defining a radially facing opening, where the opening of the first cuff defines a first cuff entry axis extending orthogonally from the first cuff longitudinal axis and bisecting a width of the opening of the first cuff; and a second cuff including an elongate body defining a second cuff longitudinal axis, the elongate body of the second cuff having a C-shaped transverse cross-sectional profile defining a radially facing opening therealong. The opening of the second cuff defines a second cuff entry axis extending orthogonally from the second cuff longitudinal axis and bisecting a width of the opening of the second cuff. The first cuff and the second cuff are secured to each other.
