THE SHORT ANSWER

The essentials.

The 2023 HD Security Pulley update focused on routing hose through the vehicle floor, with revised rollers, bearings and supports. This archive story explains those changes; confirm current compatibility and installation requirements before ordering.

From the archive. This product story describes the design at its original publication date. Check the current product page for specifications, options and availability.

GUIDE / 01

The purpose of the through-floor arrangement

The HD Security Pulley routes a compatible hose through the vehicle floor so the hose can be deployed with the doors closed where the installation allows. The 2023 update followed the earlier 2015 design.

The original announcement describes a two-roller arrangement developed from the HD Hose Guide. The installation position and route remain specific to the vehicle. Closing the doors is not, by itself, a guarantee of vehicle or equipment security.

GUIDE / 02

What the 2023 update described

Component

Detail in the original announcement

Rollers

Aluminium rollers with a 5mm wall thickness

Bearings and shafts

Sealed stainless-steel ball bearings and 10mm stainless shafts

Supports

Four supports for the second roller, replacing the earlier two-support arrangement

Opening

A stated 40mm × 40mm aperture

Servicing

Individually replaceable rollers

These are historical design details. Confirm the current product dimensions and connector compatibility rather than assuming every connector will pass through the opening.

GUIDE / 03

Installation needs a vehicle-specific plan

The route must account for the floor, underbody components, bumper area and the position of the reel. A product arriving pre-assembled does not make the final installation location universal.

The original article recommends fitting at Waterworks or a suitable fitting centre. Discuss the exact van and reel arrangement before work begins. Do not drill or route through a vehicle floor based on a generic article alone.

GUIDE / 04

Inspect the guide as part of the system

Check for wear, obstruction, mounting movement and changes in roller behaviour as part of the equipment routine. Corrosion-resistant materials and sealed bearings do not justify a promise that a component will never need attention.

If a roller or another part needs replacement, identify the version first. Use the correct parts and follow the current maintenance instructions.

GUIDE / 05

Use current specifications for a new purchase

The archive announcement discussed future PowerUP-IQ development and a proposed September 2023 release. That old forecast should not be treated as today’s availability.

Compare current hose-routing accessories and contact the team with your reel model, vehicle and intended hose connection. This keeps the choice focused on your installation rather than historical comparisons with other brands.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Questions and answers

Does the pulley fit every van?

No universal fit should be assumed. The floor route, underbody clearance, reel position and mounting need checking for the exact vehicle.

Does it make a reel maintenance-free?

No. The pulley, hose, reel and mounting still need inspection and care according to their instructions.

Can I rely on the old PowerUP-IQ release date?

No. It was a historical development forecast. Check current availability directly.
