Spin Doctor - The Total Solution
Hurco Technologies has what you need in rugged, dependable exercising solutions. The Spin Doctor® offers a safe and easy solution to keep your valve and hydrant inventory in perfect condition. Quick set up means more valves and hydrants per day. Finger tip control means little or no risk of operator fatigue or injury. Spin Doctor® boasts the industry’s greatest range of motion; no one comes close. Rugged construction means years of service and only Hurco offers a Lifetime Warranty against boom damage caused by torque.

	“With the Spin Doctor you’ve got about a 13-foot reach. Some intersections will have 2 or 3 valves and you can actually reach them from one spot. It saves us a lot of time because you don’t have to sit there and position your truck perfectly to get to the valve. It’s a pretty neat unit because everything you need is right there on the same trailer-mounted unit. You just hook up to it with a small pickup and move it around and it does everything you need it to do.” RON KEY City of Grand Junction Water Dept. Grand Junction, CO

Widest Range of Motion
in the Industry
Exercise up to 60% more valves per day. Reach valves and hydrants behind curbs, in boulevards and multiple valves in close proximity without repositioning the vehicle. Just get it close and the Spin Doctor's wide range-of-motion capabilities will do the rest. Any valve or hydrant is within easy reach - exceeding competitive models by a wide margin.

With the ER™ (Extended Reach) option, the Spin Doctor® can reach nearly door-to-door or wheel-to-wheel providing quick access to any valve or hydrant.

The SpinDoctor boom is made of high strength steel tubing that is of sufficient size and strength that when it tries to bend on the weak axis and then twist it can carry the loads. It has the strength and flexibility to go up to 500 foot pounds of torque and show no signs of yielding with no permanent deformations in any of the parts of the boom.

Additional tests have been conducted with the SpinDoctor boom using a 4-1 multiplier that pushed the torque rating to over 2,000 foot pounds without showing no signs of failure.

Valve Maintenance & Repair System

Have you ever opened a valve box only to find it full of dirt? Or, the valve box has been damaged or knocked off alignment? These problems occur all too often and can delay your valve exercising activities.

“With the Spin Doctor Valve & Vac, we’re able to stay on top of routine maintenance and valve exercising. When we come across a valve box that is full of debris, we have the vacuum unit there to quickly clean it. This allows us to quickly exercise the valve and move on to the next.”
