Air Glide hose management

Overview

The Knight Air Glide system contains air hoses on the rail itself instead of hanging below, using a reel and a channel mounted alongside the rail.

The NEW AIR GLIDE HOSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (patent pending) is a revolutionary solution to containing air hoses on the rail itself instead of  hanging below. Using a reel and a channel that mounts alongside the rail, air hoses can be kept out of the way and are prevented from interfering with production in a plant setting. Up to 100 ft. of travel is available when the reel is mounted in the center of rail.

This exciting new product can also be integrated into Knight’s Jib Cranes and rail existing systems.
