The Modular Hose Containment (MHC) system routes and contains flexible lances between StoneAge AutoBox tractors and the work area, reducing hose overlap, snags, drag, and trip hazards during hands-free tube cleaning. Stackable drums keep each lance separated and can be positioned on the floor, mounted vertically, or attached to a nearby rail.
Each module weighs approximately 50 lb (23 kg) for single-operator handling. The closeable lid, built-in hose-stop adjustment tool, and dedicated swivel support quick setup and protect lances from damaging hangups and dragging. Sentinel-enabled configurations also help reduce false stops and autostrokes for cleaner operating data.
Containment Options
- Corrugated SEK: Fully encloses the lance path to contain effluent and water.
- Spring SEK: Withstands demanding cleaning environments while allowing effluent and water to drain away from the tractor.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
Uncontained hoses create chaos on the job site.
Without proper hose management, industrial cleaning jobs become riskier, slower, and more expensive, as operators work around issues of proper routing, keeping hoses free of kinks, often reverting to guiding hoses manually and violating hands-free safety policies.
SOLUTION OVERVIEW
Introducing Modular Hose Containment (MHC), the latest in StoneAge's series of hose containment and management systems.
Built on years of preven field experience, the MHC is lightweight, stackable, and engineered to eliminate hose chaos to maximize the ROI of your StoneAge tractors and Sentinel technology.
Independent Lance Containment
With one lance per drum, the MHC eliminates tangles and movement restrictions.
Modular & Stackable
Configure for 1 or more lances. Mount vertically, on rail, or on the floor — wherever your job demands.
Single-Operator Friendly
Clean safely and efficiently with fewer crew. The MHC contains the hose, not your people.
Automate with Confidence
The MHC is the only hose containment system designed from the ground up to integrate seamlessly with Sentinel Automation Technology. Its sensor-ready configuration ensures accurate readings, smooth AutoStroke execution, and uninterrupted lance travel. No other system delivers this level of precision and automation compatibility—making the MHC essential for any operation looking to scale safely, intelligently, and efficiently.
Endlessly configurable
wherever you clean, MHC fits the job
The MHC is built for total compatibility across the StoneAge ecosystem. It works seamlessly with AutoBox tractors so you can deploy it across jobs without changing tools or retraining crews. Its modular, stackable design supports single or tripe lance configurations and multiple mounting options, giving you the flexibility to adapt fast and stay efficient across your fleet.
