Slurry and digestate management specialist Tramspread has added a new larger-capacity random wrap hose reeler to its extensive range. The new model, which will be shown for the first time in the UK at LAMMA 2025, is designed to handle bigger diameter spools which can comfortably accommodate 1400m of 5” or 1200m of 6” diameter drag hose.
“This introduction is primarily in response to customer demand,” explained Tramspread sales manager James Peachey. “Everything is steadily getting larger, and we had already increased from 600m to 1,000m, so we see 1,400m as a natural progression. We’ve had requests from the continent, and the first five off the production line have already been sold to France, but it is now available in the UK too.”
To accommodate the larger diameter spools the main frame has been enlarged and strengthened. The three-point linkage frame is also heavier, and the linkage brackets have been lowered to give additional lift height. The heavy-duty twin hydraulic motor drive system from the 1,000m reeler has been retained.
A new optional light bar can now be fitted above the reel and encompasses side lights and indicators which operate with the tractor’s lights whilst a remote-control fob is used to switch main beam and dip beam headlights and a central worklight bar. This bar also serves as a safety device to stop couplings from potentially damaging the tractor if the reel is operated too quickly. This new introduction will also be available for the 1,000m reeler.
“The larger reeler and spool with 1,400m of 5” drag hose weighs around three tonnes, so it needs a tractor of at least 250hp with an appropriate front linkage lift capacity to handle it properly,” points out James. “We are happy to accommodate customer demands with regard to colour, we recently finished some 1,400m reelers in grey for a French contractor. We have also changed the design of the Contractor Trailer to accommodate the larger spools.”
