The Plug Hug eliminates hand, eye and back injuries associated with the "hands-on" methods of descaling fire hydrants for painting and clearing hydrants of snow and ice. When compared to current methods, customers can reduce project costs by as much as 60% by greatly reducing labor hours, the high cost of materials and clean-up. The low cost and high rate of production makes The Plug Hug a very beneficial asset to your operations and community year round.
