  • Large diameter lay-flat hose spool apparatus and method
    Patent number: 10843893
    Abstract: A large diameter lay-flat hose spool apparatus has a mobile platform with a chassis and wheels. Side supports extend up from the chassis. An axle bears on the side supports, spanning a gap therebetween. Plural spools are rotatably mounted on the axle. Each spool has at least one rim and a length of lay-flat hose wound thereon. A driver rotates the individual spools about the axle independently of the other spools. The driver has a first actuator that moves a drive wheel into and out of contact with a rim of one of the spools. The driver has a second actuator that moves the drive wheel from one of the spool rims to another of the spool rims. A motor rotates the drive wheel. A controller system operated the motor, the first actuator and the second actuator.
