Baitcasting Reel Reviews

Wall-mounted hose reels are made from professional grade, heavy duty steel that has been powder coated to protect the unit against both the elements and the stress of normal wear and tear. Each reel is made with rolled edges and ribbed discs that provide strength and stability during operation. This prolongs the life of the hose and is safer for workers.

Several different models exist that you can choose from according to the types of hoses and cables, sizes of hoses, and different work environments you need them for. When selecting a model, it is advisable to double check with a material handling specialist to ensure the best possible match between equipment specification and industrial application.

SM Series

The SMK-202 wall mount hose reel swivels on in demand whatever direction you need to work and locks into place. Eight locking positions are available on the unit. These wall-mounted hose reels are compact in design and very lightweight. They work easily with pressures of up to 4,000 PSI. Additional strength and control of the hose come from the “U” shaped base on the unit, and from the hose control bar which keeps the hose from slipping off the side disks.

V/P Series

The V/P Series is a spring-driven or hand-crank vacuum hose reel that can be ordered in either vacuum only or a vacuum/pneumatic combo. Both designs will remove unwanted debris, by-products, and fumes from the work environment. The vacuum/pneumatic model has dual plumbing that powers pneumatic tools while operating the vacuum in a completely enclosed system.

DPD Series

The Dual Product Deliver, wall-mounted hose reel features two swivel inlets and two swivel outlets for dual hose applications. They are intended for large hose diameters in high volume delivery industrial applications. Extra stability and rigidity is provided by steel cross supports to all four corners of the box-style frame.

Truck Mount Series

The Truck Mount hose reel mounts a tractor trailer and provides spring-driven retraction. The unit is made with an extra large chassis with pedestal style arms that span from the roller guide bracket down to the sturdy mounting base. Because they do not need an external power source to operate, they are ideal for off-road applications.

SPD Series

The “Single Product Delivery” is another type of spring driven, wall mounted hose reels that is intended to accommodate large diameter hoses. The most popular use for this model is in applications where high-volume delivery is performed through medium and low pressure hoses.

P-WC

These wall-mounted welding cable reels protect your welding cable and extend its anticipated lifespan. This model stores the cable on a 25, 35 or 50 foot self-retracting welding cable reel. It is an excellent way to maintain safety, efficiency, and organization in crowded work areas where heavy arc welding has to be done.

SSP Series

Safety Series Performance, spring driven, wall-mounted hose reels prevent static buildup with a retraction speed of up to 80% less than that of standard hose reels. This eliminates the slamming action at the end of the recoil cycle and is much safer for the worker and easier on the hose. The SSP series is the preferred wall-mount hose reel for the delivery of air, water, grease, or other fluids in combustible environments where static buildup can create a spark that could cause an explosion.

Each of our wall-mounted hose reels can be customized to some extent. The degree of customization varies according to the nature of the unit and its intended use. Talk to your manufacturer’s representative about these options when placing your order today.

Ask a Question:
What does OSHA say about workplace hose safety?

Answer:
An OSHA guideline publication states:
aHoses, cables, and other equipment shall be kept clear of passageways, ladders and stairs.a
OSHA says reduce your slips, trips and falls.

Slips, trips and falls constitute the majority of general industry accidents, which cause 15% of all accidental deaths, and are second only to motor vehicles as a cause of fatalities. The OSHA standard for walking and working surfaces apply to all permanent places of employment, except where only domestic, mining, or agricultural work is performed. www.osha.gov

Consider adding reels to increase safety & efficiency with your electrical cords, welding cables, air hose, oil, grease, liquid/water or fuel hoses.

Ask a Question:
Why should my business use Hose Reels?

Answer:
If your business or plant has multiple air hoses, electrical cords or welding cables- then industrial air hose reels and cord and cable reels can be one of your most effective equipment additions you'll ever makeaas well as one of the safest!

How safe are your workplace walkways?
Hose reels are an important part of workplace safety. Tripping accidents- which include tripping over hose -unfortunately are a main cause listed on incident reports. Adding hose reels can provide a cost effective solution to helping reduce accidents, while increasing safety and efficiency in all types of industries.

Hose reels offer an effective and practical solution to minimizing potential accidents, while increasing safety and efficiency in all types of industries. Reels may be spring rewind, manual hand rewind, or in cases of very heavy, long hoses- motorized reels work best.

Five Reasons to use Air Hose Reels:

1.Efficiency
- Hose reels make all your hose handling more efficient.
- An organized, clean workplace is proven to be more efficie
- Maintaining hose within easy reach saves time and money.
- Reels also provide a quick and efficient way to store the hose, electrical cords or welding cables after each useaunlike an operator having to stop and coil them up manually.
- Many industries strive to improve efficiencies (and safety) by implementing more efficient tools and equipment to increase productivity and reduce worker effort in doing a task. Reels are inexpensive and indeed are a "tool" that can help meet such goals.

2.Safety
- Hoses, when not in actual use, left lying randomly coiled on the floor or ground, may present major tripping hazards and can result in injury.
- Reels decrease you chances of injuries from tripping.
- Reels prevent hose, cords and cable from cluttering walkways.
- Using electrical cords or extension leads in industrial situations often presents significant safety hazards. The use of spring rewind electrical cord reels can offer significant safety benefits.
- Reduce accidents and insurance expenseaslips, trips and falls are the leading cause of work stoppage in industry.

3.Protects Equipment
- Hoses, electrical cords, and welding cable can last five times longer when stored on a reel and help save you from replacing them as often.
- Storing hoses, cords, and cables on reels prevents them from being stepped on or run over by equipment, increasing their service life.
- Reels can often provide a solution for protecting electrical cables from damage when not in use, damage that could potentially cause electrocution.

4.Minimizes Leakages
- Hoses on reels can reduce the threat of expensive air leakages.
- Using hose reels reduces leakage and spills of expensive fluids.

5.Increase Productivity
- Easily locating your air hoses when and where you need them can increase productivity.
- Using hose, cord and cable reels benefits an employer by increasing the safety of the work environment and increasing efficiency.
- All these factors help improve your work environment, which saves you time, equipment and money.

You can easily make a home made reel; many reels are made everyday using re-bar and other materials readily available.

Not long ago I come across a carpenter unrolling air hose across a road. He had to string both electrical cord and air hose about 70 yards he built a reel using a wooden spool and a tripod re-bar frame with a rebar base which was light weight but still super strong. He used a piece of flat metal about 8 inches long with a shaft and a piece of plastic pipe to act as the crank to make his home made reel. It also had a 2 inch hole drilled in the side of the wooden spool which he left about 3 feet of hose stick out the hole so when it was strung out he could plug it into the compressor without unrolling all of the hose. It also had two small wheels on one end for transporting. I found it worked great other than every time the reel turned the piece of hose sticking out of the spool hit on the frame.

Another unique reel I saw in a mechanic shop was built with a pipe and two disks he rigged it so the hole travelled through the pipe allowing you to reel or unreel and not have to unplug the hose every time you wanted to roll or unroll. He said it worked good for first couple of weeks but soon began to leak air at the fittings causing the air compressor to run the whole time.

I often take pictures as I am interesting in the kinds of scraps people can use to create a working home made reel.
