In a traveler system, a giant sprinkler is mounted on a trailer and moved continuously by a winch. The winch is powered by a water turbine, using the flow of water to the sprinkler, or by a small gasoline or bottled gas engine. Most common traveling sprinklers are fed by a flexible hose from a main line.
