What is a hose protector?

The hose protector is a device that is designed to protect the hose. Two main reasons are used to protect themselves with hoses, to protect the hose from damage and protect people from tripping over the hoses. There are two different types of hose protectors: ramp and contact point. High temperatures and extreme cold can cause hose rupture. The sun, namely ultraviolet rays, weakens rubber hoses that can cause them to burst. A car, a truck or a forklift could crush the hose to a point where they divide. Metal traces on military vehicles could smooth out the hose. Even seemingly light things, such as a wheelchair or walking, could also damage the hose. The most visible danger is, the woman could unintentionally trip over the hose. The unprotected hose also has the potential to get out wildly control and snake, which can be a threat to people's welfare in the immediate area.

Rampers are used to reduce the hose damage and also to ensure the safety of people around the hoses. The ramp allows for a safe exceeding the vehicle hose and pedestrian operation. The ramp hose protector is usually bright yellow or clearly orange with reflective stripes, which increases the visibility of drivers and pedestrians during the day and at night.

The term protector of the ramp hose is interchangeable with the term ramp and tunnel hose protector. This type of hose protector is designed with ramps at the front and rear and has a tunnel where the hoses passes. The tunnels usually fully close and protect the hose.

Some houses of ramp and tunnel hoses more than one hose at a time. In this case, more tunnels run under the same ramp. Ramp and tunnel hoses can hold hoses that have a diameter of up to 6 inches (about 15.24 cm).

The

type of operation in the hose area also plays a factor when buying a ramp hose protector. Some ramp protectors are designed for pedestrian traffic that would be typical of carnival or festIVALA. Others are rated up to £ 21,000 (about 9 525 kg) and can withstand the weight of cars and heavy machines such as fire trucks.

The contact protector is also designed to protect the hose. When the hose is repeatedly wiped against metal or other rough surfaces, the hose can begin to wear and can develop a crack or hole. The hose protects the hose around the hose and creates a barrier between the hose and the surface.
