The Jungle Jim's 2BH is a robust accessory designed for securely transporting two blowers on a trailer. This device serves as a dual blower holder, ensuring that equipment remains stable and protected during transit, while also offering features for theft deterrence.
Function Description:
The primary function of the 2BH is to provide a secure and organized storage solution for two blowers on a utility trailer. It consists of a main channel weldment (pole) that mounts vertically to the trailer, along with various components that cradle and secure the blowers. The design allows for the blowers to be positioned facing into the wind during travel, preventing them from being blown around. Each blower is supported by a cross channel, a support rail, blower hooks, and blower tube holders, all working in conjunction with web straps to hold the equipment firmly in place. The system also incorporates locking mechanisms to deter theft, requiring individual padlocks for each blower.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Main Structure: The core of the system is the Main Channel Weldment (Part # 2BH-MCW_REV.A), which is the central pole to which all other components attach.
- Mounting: The unit mounts to the trailer via a Mounting Tube (Part # 2BH-MT_REV.A), secured with M10*65mm Hex Cap Screws (Part # 208), M10 Flat Washers (Part # 407), and M10 Hex Lock Nuts (Part # 307).
- Blower Support:
- Cross Channels: Two ABH-CC_REV.A cross channels are used to support the blowers, attached with M6*55mm Carriage Bolts (Part # 102) and M6 Nylon Lock Nuts (Part # 314).
- Support Rail: A 2BH-SR_REV.A support rail provides additional stability, secured with an M625mm Hex Socket Screw (Part # 224), M845mm Carriage Bolt (Part # 100), and M8 Nylon Lock Nut (Part # 305).
- Blower Hooks: Two ABH-BH_REV.B blower hooks are used to hang the blowers, fastened with M10*50mm Flat Head Socket Screws (Part # 206) and ATR-LN_REV.A Locking Nuts (Part # 18).
- Blower Tube Holders: Two TRM-TUBE L blower tube holders secure the blower tubes, attached with M10*20mm Carriage Bolts (Part # 104) and M10 Hex Lock Nuts (Part # 307).
- Strap System:
- Strap Arms: Four BH-AS Blower Holder Strap Arms are used to anchor the web straps, attached with M10*20mm Carriage Bolts (Part # 104) and M10 Hex Lock Nuts (Part # 307).
- Web Straps: The system includes four 30" web straps (Part # 751) for securing the blowers.
- Buckles and Fasteners: Two Snap Buckles (Male/Female) (Part # 705) and six Tri-glide Fasteners (Part # 703) are used with the straps.
- Padding: VINYL-114 (13mm I.D. x 114mm I.L.) and VINYL-95 (13mm I.D. x 95mm I.L.) vinyl pieces are included, likely for padding or protection.
- Fasteners: A variety of bolts and nuts are used, including M1020mm Carriage Bolts, M10 Hex Lock Nuts, M655mm Carriage Bolts, M6 Nylon Lock Nuts, M845mm Carriage Bolts, M8 Nylon Lock Nuts, M1065mm Hex Cap Screws, M10 Flat Washers, M1050mm Flat Head Socket Screws, M625mm Hex Socket Screws, and M10 Locking Nuts.
- Tools Required for Assembly/Installation: 14mm, 13mm, and 10mm wrenches, 5mm Allen Wrench, and a drill with a 10mm drill bit.
Usage Features:
- Dual Blower Capacity: Designed to hold two blowers, optimizing space on the trailer.
- Adjustable Components: The height of the support rail and the position/angle of the blower tube holders are adjustable, allowing for customization to fit different blower models and user preferences. This flexibility ensures a snug and secure fit for various equipment.
- Wind-Resistant Orientation: The installation instructions emphasize mounting the pole so that blowers face into the wind during driving, a crucial feature to prevent equipment from shifting or being damaged by air currents.
- Theft Deterrence: Each blower can be individually locked using a padlock (not included) through designated locking holes on the pole. This provides an important security feature for valuable equipment.
- Strap System for Securement: The inclusion of web straps, snap buckles, and tri-glide fasteners ensures that blowers are tightly secured to the holder arms, preventing movement during transport. The detailed instructions for threading the straps through the tri-glides and buckles ensure a proper and secure attachment.
- Trailer Mounting Versatility: The blower pole can be positioned on the trailer to suit specific space needs or requirements, although mounting on the passenger side is suggested as an example.
Maintenance Features:
- Weekly Hardware Tightening: The instructions explicitly state: "BE SURE TO TIGHTEN ALL HARDWARE WEEKLY IF NEEDED!!!" This highlights a critical maintenance requirement to ensure the continued safety and stability of the blower holder, preventing loosening due to vibrations during transport.
- Durable Construction: While not explicitly detailed, the use of various metal components (weldments, channels, rails, bolts, and nuts) suggests a robust construction designed for outdoor use and the demands of equipment transport. Regular inspection of these components for wear, corrosion, or damage would be a recommended maintenance practice, though not explicitly stated in the provided text.
- Replaceable Components: The detailed parts list implies that individual components can be replaced if damaged or worn, facilitating long-term usability of the product.
