Equip a Single Operator to Safely and Efficiently Load and Transport Specialized Industrial Equipment Load and Transport ATV Load and Unload Awkward Material
Customer Comments Petroleum Here in Eastern Kansas, our oil plays are relatively shallow and are serviced by large numbers of small pumping units. The Hydra Bed system equips us to rapidly respond to field issues by sending a single employee to the site. The bed s hydraulic lifting capabilities equip that operator to safely and quickly place pumping units, move materials and install or replace items safely with ease. Wire and poly spools are easily loaded, transported and dispensed, again by a single employee. The ability to effortlessly load and unload an ATV with no ramps or trailers makes day-to-day operations much more efficient. Jerid Hoehn, JC Operations, LLC Trenching Contractors The Hydra Bed has really increased our efficiency. Often, we must go to our communication customer s storage yard which may be 5 to 20 miles away from the job site for additional reels of cable. In the past, we had to take a backhoe along on a trailer to load the reels, as these lots have no loading provisions. Now, we send one employee with any of our Hydra Line equipped trucks to the yard. He or she can easily, safely and securely load and transport the additional reels of cable we need to continue or finish a job using these Hydra Line machines. Once back at the job, we use these machines to string cable in or along trenches. The Hydra Line reel-handlers have been very dependable, easy to service and simple to operate. The workmanship and quality are excellent. We especially like the security that the removable control system supplied with the BD 2200 provides. The ability to carry a reel in the forward extended position while pulling our gooseneck trailers give us added versatility. These dependable machines easily handle other lifting jobs, including loading extra hoe buckets, etc. Tom Young, Young Backhoe & Trenching Seneca, Kansas Municipalities The City of Sabetha has been using Triple C s Hydra Beds since 1990 and every new pickup since has been outfitted with one. We have used the Hydra Beds inparks and Recreation, Street, Electrical, Water and Wastewater departments. Presently the Parks and Recreation and Street departments use the Hydra Beds for moving bleachers, picnic tables, soccer goals, barricades and many other large objects. For these departments, using the Hydra Beds relieves 1 to 2 men from each one of the above tasks. The Electrical department uses the Hydra Bed more than any other department. They use it to haul poles, load transformers, roll up wire, carry rolls of wire, and run all sorts of hydraulic tools. The Water and Wastewater departments use the Hydra Bed to haul pipe from site to site. They have devised a hydraulic valve opener which is used extensively. We are presently looking at purchasing some hydraulic pumps for water leaks that will work well with the Hydra Bed. Doug Allen, City Administrator Sabetha, Kansas Construction Companies One of our many uses for the Hydra Bed system is loading mobile home transport hitches, a job which previously required the use of our backhoe. With the Hydra Bed s hydraulic lifting arms, one man can load, haul and unload a group of these awkward, heavy hitch assemblies. We didn t buy it to look at; we really use this system and it does the work we need to do. The Hydra Bed performs and we expect it to continue to earn its keep. John Lechtenberg, JB Construction & Mobile Homes Glencoe, Oklahoma Fencing Contractors Profit or loss? In the fast pace of the construction business, that s what it all comes down to. Tools that are mobile and help to trim man hours down make the difference. That s where the Hydra Bed fits into our custom fencing operation. Mounted on a one-ton dually fourwheel-drive, we can go almost any place in a fraction of the time it used to take us to move bigger equipment around. The versatility of the Hydra PHD along with the quick coupling hydraulics to attach tampers and pounders make it a well-rounded tool. Since we put the Hydra Bed into our operation, our productivity has increased, therefore generating more profit, and that s the bottom line. Keep up the good work! Todd Hermanson, Hermanson Fencing Sidney, Montana This is a real strong piece of machinery. We load all of our large posts with the hydraulic arms and find it very simple and easy to operate. We unroll all of our woven wire and barbed wire with the Hydra Bed. It really works well for laying down 5 strands of barbed wire in one pass. We then can stretch the 1/4 mile runs individually, using the hydraulics to tension each pull. Works very well in our operation. Greg Howard, G Bar Fencing Co. Hamilton, Missouri Every Hydra Line system and product is protected by a full two-year warranty, covering all structural, hydraulic, control and electrical components.
