Hose runner saves time and effort
Rakaia-based equipment manufacturer Pluck’s Engineering will soon start production of a new machine designed to simplify the deployment and retrieval of temporary water troughs used in winter break feeding.
Featuring a welded construction to ensure strength and durability, metalwork is shot-blasted prior to painting with a durable two-pack paint finish in standard HiSpec red, or alternatively specified in a range of custom colours.
SA-S models with a single axle configuration and capacities of up to 9000 litres are the most popular models in the North Island, while the tandem-axle TD-S slurry models are ideal for South Island contractors and farmers, offering capacities up to 18,000 litres, meaning fewer trips between the effluent store and the paddock.
TD-S tankers are standard with a sprung drawbar, swivel hitch and commercial-grade, tandem bogies for improved travel dynamics, increased operator comfort and an extended service life.
All HiSpec tankers are manufactured using 6mm high-grade British steel and incorporating internal implosion rings for added strength.

An extensive range of spreading options include dribble bards, trailing shoes, and disc injector systems. |
The chassis extends the full length of the tank to reduce the number of stress points and spread the weight of the tank and its load. All machines use Jurop vacuum pumps, known for being fast, powerful and durable, with many examples having clocked up more than 20 years of continuous use.
An extensive range of spreading options include dribble bars, trailing shoes, and disc injector systems, all fitted with industry leading Vogelsang macerator equipment.
Other options include Auto-fill, meaning the driver can load without leaving the seat, alternative fill points including a gravity top fill hatch and customisation choices for hose set-ups, lighting kits, centrifugal pumps with agitators and electric controls.
