Oklahoma-based Tulsa Power’s offshore loading stations are designed to eliminate hoses being laid on deck and dangling from saddles – avoiding trip hazards; reducing UV exposure, hose kinks and fatigue/breakage failures, and reducing the chance of spills. The stations offer up to four-times-longer hose life when compared to laying on deck or saddles. Powered deployment and retrieval of hoses minimizes manpower and operator exposure, greatly enhancing personnel safety. This system also weighs 30% less than competitor’s reels and offers a neat and safe way to store the hoses.
