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.

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 drip tape winder for easily and cost-effectively rolling lengths of drip tape in the field is described. The winder comprises a frame and a mandrel rotatably received in the frame and utilizes a battery powered drill to provide the power necessary to turn the mandrel and neatly wind lengths of drip tape thereon.

Exemplary embodiments described herein include innovative engagement devices. Exemplary engagement devices may include on or more tape spring systems. The tape spring system may include a continuous or segmented bi-stable tape spring. The tape spring can be stowed in a rolled up configuration, extended to a deployed configuration, and then triggered to return to a retracted configuration.

A tarp deployment system for unwinding and taking up a flexible tarpaulin. The system includes a tarp deployment machine and a spool configured to receive and retain a flexible tarpaulin. A spool gear extends radially from at least one end of the spool. A cylindrical cage has a series of parallel shafts parallel to an axis shaft of the cage. A cage gear extends from the cage axis shaft and a drive mechanism drives the cage gear in order to rotate the spool. Power is transmitted to the cage gear which then rotates the cylindrical cage which engages and rotates the spool gear.

In accordance with example embodiments a hose reel system including a layout guide is provided.

A pipe deployment system that includes a vehicle or trailer. A coil of pipe couples to the vehicle or trailer. A rerounder system is supported by and couples to the vehicle or trailer. The rerounder system changes a cross-sectional shape of the pipe. The rerounder system rotates relative to the vehicle or trailer to facilitate loading of the coil, and un-loading of the product on the coil.

A line-type auto glass cutout tool for use with a vacuum cup device having a vacuum cup and a base connected to the vacuum cup. The tool includes a tool body with a first winding spool mounted on the tool body for rotation about a first spool axis relative to the tool body. A first drive element is coupled to the first winding spool to rotate with the first winding spool about the first spool axis. The auto glass cutout tool also includes an attachment arrangement for releasably securing the tool body to the vacuum cup device in a tool operating position.
