Wherever hose or cord is being used in industrial, automotive or other
commercial applications, Reelcraft probably has a reel to handle it while improving the work environment.

or cord, required and reel on the drive type (hand, motor, or spring rewind) desired.

fuel gases.
Low pressure (LP) for air/water service ONLY; usually not
more than 300 PSI.- Low pressure air hose
reels are the most popular industrial reels.
Medium Pressure (MP) for oil, pressure washer and other fluids

cases.

Types Of Reels
Spring Loaded
Spring-loaded reels have been preferred by the majority of reel users
for several decades and provide a proven
and effective method of improving the safety, efficiency and economy
of hose handling in many industrial and
commercial applications.
Spring-loaded reels are ideally suited in that the high quality drive
spring winds as the hose is pulled from the
reel, developing the power required to retract the hose when it is no longer
needed. This simple yet effective
design includes a latch to lock the spring tension during use, providing
free use of the desired hose length. Spring
driven reels require no outside power source to drive the reel during retraction,
offering a cost effective reel to
own and operate.
Motorized
Different types of motors can be used to retract the hose. Motors are
mainly used when the hose is particularly
long or heavy. In these cases a larger force than what can practically be
provided by a spring is required. There
are several different motor alternatives: Pneumatic, Electrical or Hydraulic.
In order to activate the reel to retract the hose some sort of switch
or control valve is needed.
Hand Crank
Are the simplest and least expensive type of reel. Ideal for utility
applications, long lengths of hose/cable or
where cost needs to be kept to a minimum.
