Saddle Carrier

Growers who use drip tape in their irrigation program understand that full rolls of drip tape can be hard to handle. Additionally, tighter and tighter tapeline spacing on drip intensive crops like onions and wide-bed salad vegetables require tape rolls to be closer together making roll loading and tape placement difficult if not impossible using conventional equipment and methods. The new saddle carrier from Andros Engineering solves all of these problems.

Available in a wide variety of configurations Andros saddle carriers can handle any tape layout scenario growers can think up. From 1 line per bed to up to 3 lines per 40” bed, the carriers unique design allows operation under the widest range of spacings.

Loading and unloading is simple, just drop a full reel into the carrier and you are ready to dispense tape. Freewheeling at row ends is eliminated by the brake system applying a gentle tug on the reel, applying the ideal amount of tension to the tape. Used in conjunction with an Andros Agri-Spool Adapter any manufacturers new tape can be used in this carrier, and of course, growers who reuse their tape using 18” or 24” Andros Agri-Spools will realize a noticeable increase in operator comfort and satisfaction leading to more tape installed per day.
