The Job
We were recently tasked with manufacturing and installing custom velcro-wrapped burst sleeving and fire sleeve on a rebuilt Legra 6000 dewatering pump located in Mackay, QLD.
Every hose and circuit identified as high risk has been covered and part-numbered with fully removable sleeving built to make inspections straightforward and re-access simple.
How We Approach It
For certain sections we group-wrap the hoses together. It saves on burst sleeve material, it's quicker to install, and it keeps things tidy in tight spaces.
Each hose — or grouped set — was measured on the machine, and a custom sleeve was built specifically for that section. No guesswork, no off-the-shelf lengths that don't quite fit.
Every sleeve uses sewn velcro straps to hold it in place. No heatshrink. No crimp rings. No zip ties. Just a clean, simple solution that comes off and goes back on without tools.
The Result
Not a single hose was removed during the entire fit out. Not one clamp was disturbed. Total installation time was two hours between two of us.
That's the standard we hold ourselves to — in and out, no disruption to the machine, and a kit that lasts.
Part of a Bigger System
This fit out joins a large and growing catalogue of categorised kits we've built to suit fixed plant, HME, and hydraulic tooling. Every job we do gets documented and added to the collection, so if we've seen your machine before, there's a good chance we already have something close to what you need.
If you think custom burst sleeving could add value to your operation, give us a shout - we're happy to talk through what's involved.
