Abstract: A hose reel system for a sewer and catch basin cleaner and the like has a fixed mounted hose reel and a movable hose traction wheel. The hose reel includes a drive motor which rotates the reel in a direction to wind a hose onto the reel and a clutch which permits the reel to freely rotate when the hose is payed out. The hose traction wheel may be attached to a boom movable horizontally and vertically with respect to the reel and is driven by a motor to pay out the hose and a clutch which permits the traction wheel to turn freely during rewind of the hose. A first fairlead assembly mounted to the fixed reel and a second fairlead assembly mounted to the hose traction wheel guides the hose to permit pay out and rewind when the traction wheel is not in the plane of the reel.

Abstract: An apparatus for transporting a slurry composed of a solid suspended in a liquid, for separating the solid from the liquid, and for discharging the solid onto a mound for storage. The hydroseparating stacker includes a separator for removing a portion of the liquid from the slurry and leaving a slurry concentrate. The separator is supported by a boom which includes a first hollow support element operably coupled to the separator for transporting the slurry thereto. The boom also includes a second hollow support element operably coupled to the separator for removing the excess liquid therefrom. The separator and the boom are movably suspended superadjacent to the mound for depositing the slurry concentrate discharged from the separator onto the mound for storage.
