What is layflat hose used for?
Layflat hose carries water to and along mobile irrigation – feeding travelling irrigators, connecting pump to mainline, running temporary lines across paddocks, and any job where the hose has to move as often as the machine does. When the run is finished it drains, flattens and rolls up small, which is the whole point: a hard hose of the same capacity is a trailer load; layflat is a roll on the back of the ute or on the hose trailer.
