how many of your guy's out there are useing the new steady hose????

Cat i am so glad your a member of this web site.I dig seeing all your stuff.

ever since i've had my pump i've only used either a 5inch or a 4 inch steady hose with no problem's ...just wondering if anybody else was doin the same.....today out on a 31/5...2 meter short for the job...gave the guy 2 option's...push the hose or have 2 hose's on......fine you mite think....it was till i told him the second one would'nt leave the ground......you guess'd it...he push'd the hose...only ever hang the steady hose from the boom....( steady job with the steady hose broken nose without it )....try this for your hose slogan todd...

hey Cat, I know this is a stupid question, but could you give me the scoop on the steady?? Its news to me

thx in advance!!!

X2.... WTF is  a "steady hose"?

I´am using one !

hi guy's... the steady hose ( sh endhose ) is some thing we use for boom job's only..... we are not allowed to use double ended hose's for boom job's only for connecting to pipe lines..click on the link below to have a look .....

So it looks like you are using an air cuff AND the steady hose.  After watching the video, I'm still not sure how the physics work.  In the video, the Steady Hose is tied to the dumpster, while the Controll hose is not.  Dont know if that made a huge difference,  but it doen't explain how it works.  In the video it says system preasure can reach 85 bar.  In PDX we pump @ 200 plus all the time.  Can the manufacturer say if it' safe at those preasures?  I would like to know more about the design, its a good theory. 

85 bar of concretepressure , I have never seen a  boom pump with 200 bar concretepressure....

I run a Schwing with 2525 cell longrock and it has 85 bar as maximum...

85 bar "at the pump" is one hell of a lot of pressure. The pressure required to pump it the last 3 meters is a drop in the bucket.

I have never cut one of these hoses apart but it obviously has stiffeners [top to bottom] to keep it from whipping.

Good / smart tip hose

Reply to Krohlow: The video is deceiving - the Hose wasn't tied to the dumpster.  The rope was in fact there to pull and release a pressure valve on the test gear which was fitted above the hose/ off the boom tip section.

Reply to Bob: The Steady Hose has fabric reinforcenent (rather than steel), and benefits from 'softer' fabric within the first 300mm of the collar. The theory is that if a blockage occurs, and releases suddenly through the hose, the kenetic energy is 'caught' and dissipated by the softer area of rubber, and not transferred down the length of the hose, therefore reduced whipping action/ risk. 

Good info, thanks. ;~)

thanks for that info safety mike...you sound like you know what your taking about when it comes to safty....well done..

He is #1 with me, Cat.
