Quality Components
 |
|
(a) Our exclusively designed collector ring is sealed to avoid water contact. Stain-less steel J-pipe ensures a long service life. |
|
|
|
(b) Thick-walled tube braces and lateral and radial welds give additional stability to the Valley® span. |
|
|
|
(c) Large transition radius and uniform loading truss rod heads mean a lower concentration of stress and longer life. |
|
|
|
(d) Valley® truss rods are forge-formed with more material and rounded corners where the stress occurs. Full contact of truss rod head in the socket ensures even loading. |
|
|
|
(e) Full wraparound leg attachment brackets at each drive unit provide added strength. Heavy-duty gussets eliminate pipeline twist. |
|
|
|
(f) Ball & socket hitch facilitates movement in all directions: side to side, up and down and rotation. The design minimizes stress on the pipelline while ensuring maximum flexibility and durability. |

|
|
Full wraparound leg attachment brackets, with welded gussets, support pipeline. |
|
|
|
Heavy-duty drive unit gussets eliminate pipeline twist, reducing stress at drive unit attachment. |
|
|
|
(a) Helical gear center drive, high-efficiency motor and built-in crop guard to protect seals, help eliminate downtime and ensure efficient operation of your Valley machine. |
|
|
|
(b) A full set of braces on each side of the drive unit ensures stable operation under field conditions. |
|
|
|
Tower supports are round tubes tied to the truss rods for additional support when going over ridges or rough terrain. |
|
|
|
(c) Overhung load on the Valley Gearbox is less than competitors' models - for less wear and loger shaft life. |
|
|
|
The drive unit leg mounting brackets on the base beam are integrated into the gearbox mounting. This allows transfer of span weight to the ground, minimizing load on the base beam. |
