Did you know
- The StoneAge AutoBox ABX-500, a hands-free hose handling system, was released in August 2014. It was the first tool in the AutoBox series designed to offer a safer and more efficient alternative for pipe and vessel cleaning.
- The AutoBox 500 is positioned as a versatile hands-free hose tractor for pipe and vessel cleaning, accommodating hoses and couplings up to 1.75 inches (44.5 mm) OD. It sits within a product line that includes other AutoBox models like the AutoBox 1L, AutoBox 3L, and AutoBox ProDrive, each designed for varying applications and hose configurations.
- The AutoBox 500 is chosen for its ability to automate lance and hose feeding, enhancing safety and efficiency by eliminating operator fatigue. It offers remote adjustment of feed rates and clamp pressure, and is compatible with StoneAge 2D and 3D tools for diverse pipe and tank cleaning tasks.
