Long Range Hose Loader
OPW spring balanced hose loaders are available in both short-range (SRH-32) and long-range (LRH-32) versions. Like counterweighted hose loaders, spring balanced hose loaders are generally stored at horizontal and only slightly upward or downward movement is required to align the coupler with the tank truck adaptor.
The Long Range Hose Loader, in the 4" size, is used in exactly the same manner as the counterweighted hose loader. The major difference being the counterbalance mechanism is a torsion spring rather than weights.
