Rotary Washing Line History
Sep 9, 2008 Debt Consolidation
The first rotary airer was invented and in use in the U.S.A as early as 1855.
However it was not till 1945 when Lance Hill in Australia developed a crown and pinion mechanism that he attached to the rotary washing line which was called “The Hills Hoist”.
The latest version of the rotary washing line was established in Australia and soon became one of Australia’s greatest icons. The rotary washing line is now one of the most common sights in backyards and gardens throughout the world.
The design of the rotary line enables a large amount of washing to be hung in small areas. Fabrics and material last longer when air dried and there is also the economical benefits to using a rotary line when compare to tumble dryers.
Since the early versions were developed more and more manfacturers are now producing them including the market leader Minky Homecare. Minky use weather resistant materials which are very durable. The lines are strong, individually strung and automatically tighten when the airer is erected. They also produce multi height adjustable rotary lines which are suitable for use whatever your height. The height adjustment allows the entire arm section to be lowered for easier loading. They come in three or four arm versions and different meter lenghts so depending on the line length you go for you can accommodate up to 6 wash loads, and if you visit the Minky web site you can see the wide range available.
The rotary washing line is an ideal option if space is at a premium and is fantastic for all ages, it is easy to erect and fold up for storage.
Minky also have various rotary washing line covers, peg bags, soil spikes and pegs available to choose from at fantastic prices.
