As the name suggest, it has the ability to collapse flat when not in use and is used for water transport. It is mainly used for irrigation, fire fighting, Mining and construction(de-watering) when there is need to adapt to changing topography. They are two types of lay-flat hose, heavy duty and medium duty. Heavy duty is used for extremely challenging work and the medium duty is used to handle less stresses.
Advantages of Lay-flat Hose
• Fast Deployment and Removal.
They can be deployed and removed quickly using light duty trailers because they come in long and continuous lengths.
• Low Operating Costs.
They allow for low pressure loss therefore allowing efficient pumping. At maximum
• Easy Transport and Storage
They are compact and light in weight making their transport easy and making their storage footprint small. As a result, accessibility to challenging locations is greatly improved.
Flexible layflat hoses offer many advantages over more inflexible types of hoses or pipes, for example in terms of transport and storage volumes, handling and usage.
The vast majority are those with braided or spun reinforcement, like hydraulic and garden hoses. The amount of reinforcement decides the burst pressure. This is why people equal thickness of hose wall with strength. Tensile strength or end pull is limited, and when such a hose is pulled hard, the braiding will cut into the stretched hose and the hose delaminates.
We offer Layflat hose in the following specifications:
