A system includes a collapsible trailer frame and a lifting mechanism coupled to the collapsible trailer frame. The lifting mechanism is configured to raise or lower a coil of pipe or a reel of pipe. The system also includes a braking mechanism.

A reel take-up apparatus includes a frame, a drive mechanism, a pair of support rollers, and a pair of positioning actuators. The frame may be configured to receive a reel from one end. The drive mechanism is generally slidably mounted to the frame and configured to rotate the reel. The pair of support rollers generally extend from the frame and may be configured to provide support to the reel while allowing the reel to rotate. The pair of positioning actuators may be configured to move the pair of support rollers toward and away from each other so as to (i) lift the reel from a support surface, (ii) support the reel during rotation by the drive mechanism, and (iii) lower the reel to the support surface for removal from the frame.

A cable reel transport device includes a chassis, a rolling assembly operably connected to the chassis, and a drive assembly coupled to the rolling assembly to drive the rolling assembly. A cable reel transport system includes a cable reel having a spool, a first end flange and a second end flange, the spool extending between the first end flange and the second end flange, and a transport device operably connected to each of the first end flange and the second end flange. Each transport device includes a chassis, a rolling assembly operably connected to the chassis, and a drive assembly coupled to the rolling assembly to drive the rolling assembly.

Pump apparatus comprising a base having a forward end region and a rearward end region with a longitudinal axis extending in a direction between the forward and rearward end region, a power unit and a reel assembly operatively mounted to the base, the reel assembly including a reel mounted for rotation about a rotation axis which extends laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis, a fluid conveying conduit operatively carried by the reel and adapted to be wound on, or payed out therefrom, at the forward end region of the base, the fluid conveying conduit being underwound onto the reel so that it is wound on and payed out adjacent the base, a guide device at the forward end region of the base for guiding the conduit onto or from the reel, and a vehicle which is at least partially submersible in fluid and which can be propelled over a surface on which it stands, the vehicle including a pump which is operatively connectable to the fluid conveying conduit.

A sewer cleaning device has a rinsing hose, to which pressurized water is applied, which is stored on an assigned storage reel, and which passes through a transportation apparatus adjacent to the storage reel. A manner of operating, which protects the rinsing hose, is achieved by providing a reel arrangement, around which the rinsing hose is wrapped at least once, having two redirection reels arranged laterally adjacent to one another in the radial direction, which are offset in relation to one another in the axial direction by at least the thickness of the rinsing hose and of which at least one redirection reel is arranged tilted about an axis of symmetry, which perpendicularly intersects the axes of the two redirection reels, so that during each complete wrap around the reel arrangement forming the transportation apparatus by the rinsing hose, a pitch of the path assigned to the rinsing hose results.

A hosed-reeling apparatus comprising a hose reel and a rack having a front opening for demountably receiving and supporting the hose reel. The hose reel has two sidewalls, a connection member concentrically coupling the two sidewalls, and two spindles extending laterally outward from the centers of the two sidewalls, respectively. The rack has at least a base framework, and a locking structure configurable between an unlock position and a lock position. The base framework has two upward facing channels on opposite sides thereof for demountably receiving the hose reel spindles. The channels are accessible from thereabove when the locking structure is at the unlock position, and the channels are inaccessible from thereabove when the locking structure is at the lock position. Each of the sidewalls of the hose reel may have at least one straight outer edge, allowing the hose reel sit stably on a horizontal surface or a ramp.

Techniques for implementing a pipe deployment system that includes a pipe reel, in which the pipe reel includes reel ends and a reel drum and the pipe reel enables a pipe segment to be wrapped on the reel drum. The pipe deployment system includes a brake assembly with a brake wheel having a shaft socket keyed with flat inner surfaces, and a shaft adapter assembly, which includes an adapter head to be coupled between the pipe reel and the brake assembly. The adapter head includes an adapter shaft keyed with flat outer surfaces, in which the adapter shaft matingly interlocks with the shaft socket and is to be partially inserted through a reel end of the pipe reel, and a rotation control pin coupled to the adapter shaft, in which the rotation control pin is to be inserted between adjacent reel spokes in the reel end of the pipe reel.

A retractable cover system includes a pre-assembled drive system including a main roller about which a flexible cover is wrapped. Bows support the flexible cover in an extended position. The bows include a last bow. A drive motor is operatively coupled to the main roller and is configured to move the flexible cover between the extended position and a retracted position. A pre-assembled guide rail includes a cable system that has a driven gear operatively coupled to a drum. A cable is wrapped about the drum and at least one idler. The last bow is unsecured to the cable of the pre-assembled guide rail. A joint is configured to interconnect the pre-assembled guide rail to the pre-assembled drive system in an assembled condition to provide an assembled retractable cover system. The joint permits the drive gear and the driven gear to engage one another in the assembled condition. The last bow is secured to the cable in the assembled condition.
