(4729) Side Roll System
System, a variation on the hand-moved lateral sprinkler line, in which the lateral line is mounted on wheels, with the pipe forming the axle (using specially strengthened pipe and couplers). The wheel height is selected so that the axle clears the crop as it is moved. A drive unit, usually an air-cooled gasoline-powered engine located near the center of the lateral, is used to move the system from one irrigation position to another by rolling the wheels.
