Hexi Pipe Coil Trailer
The Hexi Pipe Coil Trailer is the first trailer of its type capable of transporting and dispensing a 500 metre coil of up to 90mm, or 150m of 125mm PE.
- Cost saving—by using 500m coils, savings on pipe wastage of up to 15-20% have been proven across UK gas distribution networks*
- Environmentally friendly—significant reduction in carbon footprint as a result of using 500m coils. Calculations have shown a reduction of 400 tonnes pa. which is equivalent to a financial carbon value of around £22,000 a year**
- Effective dispensing—adjustable close fit drum bars for varying coil ID’s optimising smooth dispensing
- Easy to use—raised central drum design ensures pipe is dispensed/recoiled smoothly and quickly, avoiding the need for operatives to manhandle the coil
- Improved safety—Rear gate is hydraulically controlled, avoiding the need to work at height
- Practical—Pipe may be easily re-wound to save unused PE (unreeled section between trench and trailer)
*The wastage of PE pipe is caused by left over lengths from 100 metre or 120 metre coils being too short for most insertion purposes. Using 500 metre coils, however, leaves useful lengths. **The calculations were carried out by the Department of Energy & Climate Change on behalf of WWU. Factors taken into consideration included a reduction in pipe wastage*, less fittings required, less excavations, less backfill, less reinstatement and less transportation per project.
