Door Security Gates

Doors do not always succeed in barring access to unauthorized personnel. Intruders can enter almost any door with enough determination. Door security gates add a layer of security to buildings that need to restrict or prohibit access through one or more of its doors. They are made from a folding lattice of sturdy ¾”channel that expands and covers the entrance to the doorway, and they can be mounted either in the casing or the facing of the door opening.

Folding security gates are designed to restrict access to door openings ranging between 24” and 48” in width and 61” to 83” in height. Door security gates feature a reversible hinge design that allows them to be mounted to either the left side or the right side of the doorway. When opened, they will pivot a full 180 degrees to allow safe and convenient access to the building. Each door security gate includes a locking bar to secure the unit and block unauthorized access and/or intrusion.

Almost any building can benefit from a metal security door gate. Small boutiques and convenience stores top this list because deliveries usually come through a door in the back of the business that can be easily broken if additional security measures are not taken. Having a gate on the door can discourage burglars looking for an easy target, and it can also possibly qualify a business for an insurance break if the carrier recognizes the value in added security. Convenience stores and gas stations also can use these gates to secure doorways to garage areas, storage areas, and private offices. This not only protects property, but also human life, because many convenience stores and gas stations stay open 24 hours a day, and whoever is on duty is most vulnerable to a burglary through the rear of the building. Adding a security door gate is something every 24 hour facility should strongly consider as a precaution against theft and violent crime. Industrial facilities can also use steel security gates on doors that lead to restricted areas. Because these gates are controlled by padlocks, it is a simple matter to issue a key to only those who need to be in that part of the building.

Installing security door gates is simple. You simply stand the folded gate against the door frame and mark the mounting surface through the holes in the hinge bar. It works best if you use 5/16 X 2” lag bolts if you are mounting it with wood. If you are mounting the door security gate with steel, drill and tap for 5/16 X 2” lag bolts in 3/8” holes. Then, drill appropriately sized holes in the mounting surface, and then mount the gate by inserting the screws through the hinge bar. Once you have the security door gate securely mounted, stretch it across the opening and line up the padlock hole in the locking bar with the padlock hole in the gate. Next, mark the mounting holes of the locking bar with a pen or pencil, drill the holes, and mount the locking bar with screws. Now the security door gate is ready to be pulled shut, and locked with a padlock.

Industrial Security Gates

Industrial security gates are designed to cover access points of different types and sizes. Consisting of a sturdy, impenetrable lattice work of 14-gauge channel steel, an industrial security gate cannot be pushed through or broken down. At the same time, it allows clear visibility either into or out of a building, and it helps ventilate fumes, industrial by products, and excess heat from industrial plants and warehouses.

There are four types of industrial security gates: single gates, double gates, door gates, and portable gates. Single gates and Double gates mount on hinge pins that allow workers to pivot the gate to the side and out of the way when the doorway is open to traffic. Drop pins located at the center of both single and double gates prevent the steel lattice from caving in when pushed or collapsing under its own center of gravity. This design makes each unit impenetrable and extremely durable. Protection from the elements and added durability also comes from a thick coat of black enamel paint applied to every gate at the time of manufacture.

Specific features and benefits of each model follow:

Industrial Security Door Gates
These steel security gates are designed for normal sized entry doors found in any type of building, including office buildings and portable buildings. They can be left open for both ventilation and light. Easy Rack has sizes to fit all doors, and special custom sizes can be ordered through a material handling specialist to fit less common sizes. Industrial door gates feature a versatile design that allows them to be mounted to lock on either the left or the right for loading dock doorways. Security door gates can be mounted either in the recess of the door frame or on the outside wall adjacent to the doorway. This allows the gate to be folded and swung to the side like a pivot to move it out of the way when it is not being used.

Single Industrial security gates
These gates consist of a single lattice of steel to cover the entrance to any number of commercial doorways and building access points. Single folding security gates ship standard to lock on the left side, but they can easily be custom ordered to lock on the right side. The center drop pin reinforces the unit and provides a sturdy barrier against intrusion.

Double Industrial Security Gates
Based upon the same design as single units, double gates are simply two steel lattices connecting together in the center. This allows either side or both sides to be swung completely 180 degrees out of the way when not in use. These are ideal industrial steel security gates to use in front of entrances that have heavy vehicle traffic, such as fork trucks, pallet trucks, pickups, and vans.

Portable Industrial Security Gates
These gates are ideal for construction environments when doorways that have been cut but not yet completely constructed. They provide movable security, and when they are folded up they are only 6.5’ high…small enough to fit through a standard door opening, and compact enough to be stored out of site. Portable security gates are easy to install and lock to the wall with a sample padlock hasp arrangement that comes included in your order.

Metal Security Gates

Easy Rack manufacturers the "Classic" design of folding metal security gate that has stood the test of time and proven its durability and reliability. Our folding metal gates and safety barriers are manufactured from 3/4" wide 14 gauge steel channel that is riveted back to back with solid steel rivets. Solid rivets give each gate the necessary strength to endure stress and perform reliably for years. Gate rails are made from 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 1/8" thick hot rolled angle iron that resists abuse and last longer than thinner alternatives. Drop pins are made of 5/8" round rod and all casters are steel. We thoroughly coat each metal security gate with black enamel paint.

Metal security gates barricade access points and create restricted areas for security and safety purposes. Made out of a strong, impenetrable lattice of 14-gauge channel steel, a metal security gate cannot be pushed or broken down. Because the lattice is technically mostly empty space, however, it provides clear visibility for surveillance, and it allows for building ventilation of fumes and excess heat.

There are four basic model designs of metal security gates that Easy Rack currently provides: single gates, double gates, door gates, and portable gates. Single and Double gates are mounted on hinge pins that allow you to swing them to the side like a doorway. The center of the gate is reinforced by a drop pin that prevents it from caving in when pushed either from the center or the top. This design makes the unit both durable and vandal resistant.

Metal Security Door Gates
These gates are intended to limit access to normal sized doors in commercial and industrial buildings. . Easy Rack has sizes that will fit all doors and will manufacture custom-sized gates on request. Metal security door gates offer industrial clients a versatile design that allows them to be mounted to lock on either the left or the right. Metal security door gates will mount on either the door frame recess or the outer wall surrounding the door frame. Either mounting option will allow the gate to be folded and swung to the side when it is not in use.

Folding Security Gates

Folding Security Gates limit access to buildings and passageways without blocking ventilation or obstructing visibility. Warehouses and factories often use folding security gates to protect building entrances, bay doors, docks, and rear entrances to plants. Educational facilities and medical care institutions also use them to restrict building access after normal working hours. Homes and offices can also benefits from folding security gates when extra security measures are desired and determined appropriate.

The classic folding gate design is that of an interlocking lattice of steel, riveted back to back to provide a sturdy barrier against intrusion and to withstand exposure to environmental elements. Standard sizes offered by Easy Rack from 4-1/2' wide by 5-1/2' high single gates to 16' wide by 8-1/2' high double gates. Door gates are made for door openings between 24” to 48” wide in heights from 61” to 83”. Portable gates are available in sizes 6 and 12 feet wide. Easy Rack will also provide custom size single and double security folding gates up to 10’ high.

Folding Security Door Gates
These gates are made to secure door openings ranging from 24" to 48" wide and 61" to 83" high. They feature a unique reversible hinge design that allows them to be mounted to either the right side or the left side of the doorway in either the casing or the face of the opening. Each folding security door gate includes with a locking bar that can be secured with a padlock. When not in use, the gate will pivot 180 degrees out of the way when open.

Single Folding Security Gates
These one piece gates are manufactured for standard openings, patio doors, garages, and industrial and commercial entrances measuring 4-1/2' to 7-1/2' wide and up to 8' in height. Single folding security gates are shipped assembled to lock on the left (default position), but an Easy Rack specialist can have them manufactured to lock on the right side. A ball bearing caster, welded to the lead rail of the gate, is used to aid in the extension and retraction of the gate. Like door gates, single gates will pivot 180 degrees when not in use. To compensate from the loss of structure when the gate is stretched open, a drop pin holds the center of the gate in place.

Double Folding Security Gates
These gates are needed for larger openings, overhead doors, dock doors, storefronts, and bay doors in factories and warehouses. These two-piece gates can be custom fitted to any size width, and a maximum height of 10'. Because they are Double Folding Gates, each side will swing 180 degrees out of the way, allowing the gates to be used with dock and overhead doors in industrial facilities that need an unobstructed passage for vehicles and material handling equipment to pass through.

Portable Folding Security Gates
These gates are very frequently used in public schools and hospitals to seal off hallways, cafeteria areas, and sensitive areas within the building. They are made with a a two piece design consisting of dual 6’ X 6.5’ sections. Portable Folding Security Gates are easy to install because they are designed to pass through standard door heights and be can be rolled up for convenient storage. For very large entrances or hallways, additional 6’ sections can be added on.

Electric Heavy Duty Hydraulic Scissor Lifts

Heavy Duty electro hydraulic scissor lifts rank among the most powerful material handling tools Easy Rack carries. These products are needed for loads weighing from 15,000 LB up to 120,000 LB. Like all scissor lifts, electro hydraulic units are intended to keep heavy materials at a stable, consistent elevation for safe access and efficient operations to be performed. They are frequently used by telephone companies, lumber companies, and air craft engine companies to elevate materials for manipulation, moving, or service work.

Oftentimes electro hydraulic scissor lifts are buried in the ground and used to facilitate the unloading an loading of tractor trailers. Two hydraulic scissor lifts will be spaced apart at the exact same distance as the front and rear wheels on a tractor/trailer. The lift will be flush to the ground when it is the elevated position. When the truck is ready for loading, it will be “parked” with both sets of wheels centered on either electro hydraulic lift. The lift tables will then be lowered, locking the truck in place and making the trailer bed flush to the ground.

This allows work crews to drive fork trucks directly into the trailer without it wobbling to either side. Workers can also move barrels and containers that hold sensitive materials and flammable liquids safely into the trailer with minimal risk of spillage or injury. Nuclear power plants often use electro hydraulic scissor lifts to secure trucks that are used to haul off nuclear wastes.

Of course, electro hydraulic scissor lifts are not always buried in this fashion. Many times they are used to elevate heavy engines in tractor companies to work platforms where technicians and welders can work from a standing position rather than having to work from a ladder, or actually climb on top of the engine and risk a fall. The larger the lift; the more weight it will safely elevate, and the higher it can be raised.

Because these machines are extremely heavy duty and engineered for maximum strength and stability, they have a design safety factor of 3 to 1. Each electrohydraulic lift features an externally powered motor ranging from 5 to 15 hp, depending on the lift model and size. Motors are controlled from an up/down push button control on the end of a 20 ft cord. Each motor includes an adjustable upper travel limit switch that automatically shuts off the motor and pump at the desired pre-set height. Two secondary, mechanical upper travel back-up stops provide an additional safeguard against over extension.

If necessary, workers can also stand on hydraulic scissor lifts safety. The man lift platforms are supported by rectangular structural tube scissor legs and torque tubes that maintain maximum horizontal and longitudinal stability and minimize deflection when the unit is supporting huge loads and/or workers. Toe guards along the edges of the platform provide a standard, yet very important, safety buffer against accidental slips and falls.

Heavy duty scissor lifts are built with a number of additional safety and mechanical features that are engineered to ensure stability, safe operation, durability under extreme stress for long periods of time, and reliable performance of all unit components for the duration of the unit’s lifespan.

Welding Hose Reels

Welding hoses and cables have to be managed with a special type of hose reel. Welding hose reels and cable reels that are designed specifically to safeguard your investment in expensive hoses and cable by buffering against wear and ensuring performance for the duration of hose and cable life span. Most heavy duty hose reel models offer multiple sized units made for different environments and unique characteristics for support, hose management, retraction, safety, and versatility in application.

Motor-Driven Welding Hose Reels
Motorized reels can be ordered in either heavy duty models or lightweight models. The heavy duty electric driven hose reels feature a direct bevel gear drive, low profile outlet riser, open drum slot, and dual brass swivel inlets that will ensure smooth and steady hands free retrieval of your welding hose. The lightweight unit is intended to be a compact and versatile, smaller version of the heavy duty unit. It is build around a “U” shaped frame and all steel construction to provide additional safety and stability.

Both models can also be obtained in manual, hand crank retraction if necessary.

Hand Crank Welding Hose Reels
Hand crank reels are built around the same general design as the heavy duty welding hose reel and are used in industrial environments where external power may not yet be available, such as new construction sites and off site outdoor locations.

Spring Driven Welding Hose Reels
When your hands are full, and you cannot use a hand crank reel, spring driven welding hose reels combine the convenience of automatic retrieval with the freedom from external power sources.

These spring driven reels are manufactured to manage bulky twin line welding hose. Two sizes are available. Standard size welding hose reels are compact and engineered for operations in crowded facilities. Larger units are built for more spacious facilities where extra capacity is needed for exceptionally long lengths of welding hose. This larger model features a proprietary dual axle support system that keeps the unit stable during retraction use and minimizes vibration during use.

Welding Hose Reels with Spring Driven Safety Retraction
In some facilities, static buildup can be hazardous due to the combustibility of nearby fuel, chemicals, or fumes in the air. If you are working in such an environment, it is necessary to use hose reels that are built to eliminate static buildup. This is done using a special spring-driven retraction mechanism that has been modified to turn the hub at only 20% the normal rate of speed than standard model reels, and to end the retraction cycle gently without slamming the last bit of hose onto the reel.

These industrial welding hose reels, like many other spring driven units, also feature super hub, dual axle support to maintain stability and rigidity while in use. Both compact and standard sized reels are available.

Welding Cable Reels
Welding cable is costly, and not something you want to replace because of careless handling or accidents. Protect your investment with 25, 35, or 50 foot self-retracting welding cable reel. These units are intended to help maintain a clean, safe, and well-organized work environment at all times and feature internal components set inside the drum to allow for a narrower, compact coil on the reel. They can also accommodate an optional stacking bracket to create a lead/ground combination when required and are available in hand crank or motorized retraction.

Many of these reels can be further customized with any number of accessories. Call an Easy Rack specialist now to see what options are available for metal hose reels.

Wall Mounted Hose Reels

Easy Rack wall-mounted hose reels are made in the U.S.A. They are manufactured from professional grade, heavy duty steel that is powder coated for unit protection, resistance to the elements, and a buffer against the wear and tear of normal usage. Each reel features 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 specific models can be selected for different types of hoses and cables, different sizes of hoses, and different work environments. When choosing 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 Wall Mounted Hose Reels
The SMK-202 wall mounted hose reel will swivel on demand and lock into place in whatever direction you need to work. Eight locking positions are available on the unit. These wall mounted hose reels are extremely lightweight and compact, working easily with a pressure of up to 4,000 PSI. Additional strength and control of the hose come from the “U” shaped base and hose control bar which keeps the hose from slipping off the side disks.

V Series Wall Mounted Hose Reels
The V Series spring-driven and hand-crank vacuum wall mounted hose reel 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 features dual plumbing that powers pneumatic tools while operating the vacuum in a completely enclosed system.

DPD Series Wall Mounted Hose Reels
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 high pressure 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 Wall Mounted Hose Reels
The Truck Mount series is designed to mount on the wall of a trailer and provide spring-driven retraction. The unit features 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 Wall Mounted Hose Reels
The “Single Product Delivery” is another line of spring driven heavy duty hose reels that is intended to mount to the wall and 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 pressures. Many companies use them for fuel and water delivery for this reason. The SPD series is build around a sturdy box-style frame with heavy duty steel cross supports that provide rigidity and extra center of gravity.

P-WC Wall Mounted Hose Reels
These wall-mounted welding cable industrial hose 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 Wall Mounted Hose Reels
Safety Series Performance spring driven wall-mounted retractable hose reels prevent static buildup by retrieving the hose at lower speeds up to 80% less than that of standard hose reels. This eliminates the slamming action at the end of the recoil cycle and is therefore easier on the hose and safer for the worker. 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 reel accessories can be customized to some degree. The level of customization varies according to the nature of the unit and its intended use. Talk to your account manager about these options when placing your order today.

Industrial Hose Reels

Commercial hose reels are one of the best material handling investments you can make. A great deal of the heavy machinery that you use requires pressurized water or air to operate. Some of these devices also require exceptionally high voltage power that can be delivered only through very large diameter, heavily insulated power cords. Because such hoses are very heavy and cumbersome to lift and carry, it is not advisable from a safety or ergonomics perspective to carry, extend, and retrieve them manually without an industrial hose reel.

It only takes 25 lbs of force applied at the wrong angle to injure a workerʼs back, which is a liability you do not want. Also, dragging hoses around the floor or across a construction site will eventually wear on the hose and lead to replacement costs you shouldn'tʼt have to waste more money on.

Industrial hose reels eliminate the risk of injury and damage to heavy industrial cords and pressure hoses with large diameters. Commercial hose reels are manufactured and sold in different sizes based upon the size and nature of the hose or cord they are being used for. They are further divided into four categories based upon the retraction mechanism they utilize to retrieve the hose after use. Because it takes one hand to guide the hose onto a commercial reel, category selection should be based upon workload, ergonomics, and type of industrial environment the hose reel is used in.

Hand Crank Hose Reels
When an employee has both hands free, one hand can crank the hose onto the reel, and the other hand can guide it. Generally these reels are designed for long, large capacity industrial hoses with up to 4,000 PSI.

Motor Driven Hose Reels
Motor driven reels are used with hoses ranging from 200PSI to 10,000 PSI and are recommended for environments where the worker has only one hand free to guide the hose onto the spool.

Spring Driven Hose Reels
Spring driven models do not require an external power source to operate. Easy Rack carries spring driven industrial reels for air hoses, oil hoses, grease hoses, hydraulic hoses, vacuum hoses, and oxy acetylene hoses. We also have spring driven cable reel for welding equipment in both stainless steel and aluminum models.

EZ-Coil Commercial Hose Reel
These spring driven commercial hose reels retract at only 20% the speed of other spring driven models. They are intended for use in combustible environments it is unsafe to operate a motor or electrically driven hose reel for risk that a spark may cause an explosion.

Electric Cord and Cable Reels
These commercial reels are engineered specifically for retractable Extension Cord Reels, Hand Crank Welding Reels, and Static Discharge Grounding.

Because there are so many models available in each industrial hose reel series, it is important to narrow your selection and buy a unit that is the closest match to your requirements. The following five principles are recommended when making your selection.

We also suggest that you follow the following guidelines when selecting an industrial hose reel products for your facility.

1. Choose your reel based on hose I.D., O.D., and Length
2. Compare the size of your hose to the inlet and outlet sizes on the reel.
3. Decide on the safest and most ergonomic method of retraction.
4. Determine where to mount the hose.
5. Choose the type of hose you will be using.
6. Customize your commercial hose reel.

Even after choosing what you think might be a near perfect match to your industrial requirements, it may be possible to customize the hose reel further to meet the exact specifications of your process flow. Ask a material handling specialist at Easy Rack to see what customization options are available, or to make certain you have decided on the safest, most ergonomic, and most efficient hose reel possible.

Heavy Duty Hose Reels

Industrial applications driven by heavy machinery often require the use of heavy power cords, welding cords, or high pressure air/water hoses to operate the equipment. Exceptionally long and bulky hoses can be very problematic if they are not handled correctly. They can present a trip hazard when run across the ground where workers are walking, and they can be very cumbersome and difficult to move around by hand.

Heavy Duty Hose Reels are made for the safe distribution and retrieval of exceptionally long, wide-diameter hoses, power cords, and welding cords. They features additional frame supports to maintain stability and minimize vibrations, and they also feature special drum designs that ensure hoses are guided off the reel and back onto the reel without tangling. Many heavy duty hose reels are spring-driven, retractable reels; others are motor driven or hand crank reels. Some are designed specifically to eliminate electrostatic buildup in volatile atmospheres where sparks can cause explosions.

Anything from air hoses, water hoses, electrical power cords, and welding cords can be wound and retracted using Easy Rack heavy duty hose reels. Heavy duty hose reels are made to be used in all applications under all pressures-- up to 10,000 P.S.I.

Heavy Duty and Super Heavy Duty Safety Hose Reels
In chemical plants, refineries, and other combustible refineries, the patented slow retrieval mechanisms of these spring-driven, heavy-duty reels prevent static buildup that could spark an explosion. The controlled rate of retrieval is 80% slower than that of a conventional hose reel and requires no motor or external power source. Components and hoses also last longer with this heavy duty reel because it does not slam the hose on to the hub at the end of retrieval.

Dual High Capacity Hose Reel
These heavy duty high pressure hose reels are designed for large hose diameters with high volume delivery in low and medium pressures. Heavy duty steel cross supports on all four corners give the reel extra strength and rigidity.

Super Hub, Heavy Duty Hose Reel
The larger chassis and frames on these reels allow for hoses of lengths and larger diameters. Dual axles keep the unit stable and minimize vibration during use.

Compact Heavy Duty Hose Reel
Believe it or not, we actually have a compact heavy duty hose reel that is highly portable and can be installed almost anywhere. These units are made for tubing and air/water pressure hoses and are extremely light weight and easy to install.

Large Capacity Welding Reels
You can obtain either hand crank welding hose reels or motor driven reels through Easy Rack. Both model types are intended for us with exceptionally large diameter hoses of long length. Motorized heavy duty reels are especially useful for managing long, twin line welding hoses. They feature dual brass swivel inlets on either side of the reel to guide the hose during distribution and retrieval and an open drum slot design with direct bevel gear drive.

Compact Heavy Duty Welding Reels
These reels are compact and light weight. They can be used in a variety of facilities and environments. In spite of their small size, they are extremely sturdy because of their steel construction and “U” shaped form.

Automatic & Auto-Rewind Hose Reels

Auto rewind hose reels are spring-driven reels engineered for static discharge. They do not require an external power source to operate. Automatic hose reels featured a patented controlled retraction that operates up to 80% slower than standard spring driven reels. This eliminates the slamming action at the end of the retraction cycle, making operation safer for the worker and prolonging the life of the unit.

Different mounting options are available for a variety of industrial environments, along with automatic hose reels specifically engineered for certain types of hoses and applications. Before purchasing an automatic hose reel, we recommend you carefully look over the following and talk to an Easy Rack specialist about the features, advantages, and benefits that each series line offers. Particularly in flammable atmospheres, it is vital to choose the best auto rewind reel specifically designed for the size and length of the hose or cord you need it for, and for the general work area you will be using it in.

Side Mount Hose Reels
Most auto rewind hose reels are designed to mount on the ceiling or the floor. Some applications, however, require compact, side mount hose reels that can be easily installed and detached from a number of work environments. These auto rewind reels feature 360 degree hose direction that allows the user to operate the reel from any position necessary. This makes them excellent tools to use with air/water service units, tool benches, tool boxes, vertical walls and beams, vehicle lift systems, machine tools, service vehicles, any flat vertical surface that requires a hose reel for efficient distribution and retraction of a hose.

Welding Hose Reels
Easy Rack also carries welding hose reels with auto rewind capability. These units are excellent tools for handling bulky twin line welding hoses. The size of your automatic welding hose reel depends on the length of the welding hose you will be working with. Shorter lengths work well with compact units. Exceptionally long welding hoses require bigger automatic rewind reels with dual axle support built around a larger chassis and frame.

Power Cord Reels
Power cord reels prevent extensions cords from tangling. They are designed for durable, reliable use in a wide variety of manufacturing and heavy duty industrial environments and are a must have for organizations who cannot afford the safety hazard or downtime that can result from tripping over a power cord or accidentally pulling the cord from a power source during critical operations.

The same holds true for gardeners who are tired of tangled hoses and would like a professional garden hose reel.

Static Discharge Cable Reels - Hazardous Locations
In highly combustible environments such as chemical plants, refineries, and weapons factories, a single spark can cause an explosion. It is necessary to suppress static electricity as much as possible in these places to minimize the risk of a catastrophe. Static discharge auto rewind cable reels are built with this specific purpose in mind. Insulating mechanism on this unit include a rubber stop cable clamp and a 50 amp grounding clamp standard with each unit. If necessary, Easy Rack can install a 100 amp copper grounding clamp upon request. Further safety is ensured by a non-sparking locket ratchet that secures the cable at the desired length after the reel has completed automatic hose retraction.

Easy Rack is a major supplier of air, water, and electric hose reels including low-pressure, medium and high pressure hose reels. Easy Rack also carries commercial shelving, material handling equipment, commercial lighting, pallet trucks, used pallet racks, and modular prefab buildings available nationwide.

High Pressure Hose Reels

Many industrial cutting operations and manufacturing tools depend on pressurized water and air for power. To maintain a consistency in air or water pressure, it is necessary to keep hoses in optimal condition. Dragging hoses over the ground, around corners, and around obstructions is never recommended. Hoses can become kinked and cause a drop in pressure, effecting safety and performance. They can also be damaged very easily when they are drug behind workers like this, and this only complicates a budget with needless replacement costs and downturns in process flow. High pressure hose reels are a much better way to transport and operate air and water high pressure hoses.

High pressure air hose reels will preserve the longevity of hoses and will make it easier for workers to do their jobs. Machinery that relies upon compressed air or water will also perform much better when a consistent pressure is maintained throughout the operation. Safety in your facility will also improve, because high pressure hose reels are engineered to systematically and efficiently retrieve hoses after use, so workers to do not have to retrace their steps and laboriously wind up the hose by hand after completing a task.

Because of the diversity of high pressure hoses that are used in industry, the type of hose reel you choose depends on a number of very key factors that you should pay very close attention to. Without the proper “fit,” the reel will not effectively store, transport, or retrieve the hose, and damage or injury could result.

When choosing a reel, the size, length, and type of hose weight heavily upon your selection. Hose retraction method and the mounting position of your high or low pressure hose reel also play an important rule. As a general rule, you always want to select a high pressure hose reel with a little more space than you require. This makes retrieval faster and easier, and the extra disc space actually acts as a protective shield on either side of the hose.

The type of retraction method used by your high pressure hose reel is also a very important consideration. If your workers already have their hands full operating machinery or material handling tools, a motor driven or spring driven hose reel is preferable. Spring driven reels are ideal for facilities with large power bills and high overhead. Spring driven reels can automatically rewind high and low pressure hoses without a power source. The operator can guide the hose smoothly onto the reel with one hand. Motor driven reels use an AC, DC, Air, or Hydraulic power source and again require only one hand to guide retraction. When a person has both hands available, and when working in an area without a convenient power source, a hand crank air hose reel works just as well, provided there is an operator with two free hands to crank the reel and guide the hose back onto the reel.

Most factories mount their air hose reels horizontally, on the floor. In fact, most material handling companies ship air hose reels pre-configured for floor mounting. However, the same configuration can be used to mount the reel on the ceiling, and vertical wall-truck mounts can also be ordered from Easy Rack for special operations or uniquely designed facilities.

Easy Rack will also further customize your high or low pressure reel to meet your exact requirements. Once you select your reel type, we can also provide you with different add-on features such as roller brackets, special mounting brackets, carry handles or a cart for portability.

Air, Water, & Electric Hose Reels

Industrial machinery often relies upon pressurized water or air delivered through high pressure air hoses and water hoses. Reels made to store, extend, and retract air hoses and water hoses are essential tools to safe and efficient operations. Without them, hoses would have to be drug over floor space, around corners, and over obstructions. This creates trip hazards to workers passing through the area, and it deteriorates the condition of the hose and reduces its longevity. High pressure hose reels, water hose reels, and electric hose reels keep hoses safely and compactly stored and have proven the best means of distributing hoses and retracting them.

All water hose reels, air hose reels, and electric reels ship standard floor/ceiling mount with the option to side mount. They are made of solid steel construction with a proprietary CPC powder coat finish and can be used either indoors or outdoors regardless of weather conditions. There are four major types of industrial and commercial hose reels available through Easy Rack. These types are determined by the power source used to retract cord or hose and by the types of cord and hoses these reels are intended in use and store in non use.

Motor driven water hose reels
These water hose reels can handle pressures of up to 10,000 PSI and can be as long as 1.400 feet. Motor driven water hose reels are made for hose I.D. ranging from 3/8” to 2”. The motors themselves can be electric, air, or hydraulic power. The low profile outlet riser and open drum slot design makes hose distribution fast and safe. You can obtain these water hose reels with roller guide assemblies, motor switches, and speed controllers. Talk to an Easy Rack specialist about which customization options will work best for you.

Electric Cord and Cable Reels
Electric hose reels are most often used in heavy duty applications for welding and grounding cable and electrical cord distribution. Unit diameters are tailor made for specific wire gauges of 10,12, and 16. Electric cord reels will hold hoses up to 100 feet in length. They feature detachable roller guides and adjustable rubber cord stops to prevent too much cord from being distributed or retracted beyond desired lengths. A multi-position locking racket holds the cord in place, and an adjustable guide arm helps evenly guide cord and wire back onto the reel while it is being retrieved.

Easy Rack will customize your electric reel with any number of electrical accessories. Talk to a specialist about your requirements and see what options are available to you.

Spring Driven Hose Reels
Spring driven air hose reels are usually used with hoses made to handle up to 5,000 PSI in pressure. They can hold up to 125 fee of hose and can be ordered in either steel or aluminum construction. They feature detachable roller guides and an adjustable rubber hose stop. A lubricated, factory-matched, cartridge-style spring motor retracts the reel on command without the need of an external power source. An adjustable guide arm on the reel keeps the air hose evenly distributed over its interior surface.

Hand Crank and Portable Hose Reels
These are large capacity industrial grade air hose reels and water hose reels are made to hold up to 700 feet of hose. They are rated at 10,000 PSI and feature a low profile outlet riser and open drum slot design. You can choose a direct hand crank for retraction/retrieval, or you can order your reel with a bevel gear hand crank for easier and more ergonomic operation. Hand crank air hose reels and water hose reels prevent backlash by means of adjustable tension brakes that slow the reel as more pressure pulls on the hose while it is being extended.

Garden Hose Reels

Garden Hose reels are an essential tool for landscape contractors and maintenance personnel. In almost every corporate landscape there is some type of flora, fauna, foliage, greenery, or flower bed that needs to be watered on a daily basis. Trying to wrestle with a large, cumbersome hose can be an ergonomic strain to workers and slow down an operation if the hose becomes tangles, kinked, bent, or tied in mysterious knots that somehow always seem to tie themselves in hoses. Garden hose reels eliminate the strain, headache, and lost time associated with all these mini-dramas. They make it simple, quick, safe, and better for equipment; and they last for many years under the harshest outdoor conditions.

Easy Rack garden hose reels provide a lightweight, compact, and portable storage tool for exceptionally long garden hoses. This frees a property from trip hazards that result from large masses of garden hose strewn throughout the grass and wrapped around tree trunks, hedges, and outdoor structures. Garden hose reels also eliminate kinks in the hose that can cut off the flow of water, and they allow for easy, ergonomic maneuverability throughout the property. It is much easier to uncoil a garden hose from a reel than it is to untangle a kinked and twisted knot, and with a 4,000PSI rating, high pressure applications for watering entire lawns or elaborate gardens are safe and efficient. The garden hose reel also comes with a ¾” female fitting and male garden adapter, along with a 4’ inlet hose attached to the reel.

The high-quality, two piece 1 ¼” steel tube frame structure provides a solid reel for storing and moving your garden hose. Two solid 8” rubber tires make it easy to transport the unit anywhere in the front yard, back yard, or commercial atrium's. In order to prevent the garden hose reel from slipping forward, two rubber front feet hold the unit in place. When you are finished using the unit, you can remove the handle and store it in a secure, compact location until then next time it is needed. For easy rewinding, the garden hose reel also features direct hand crank rewind design so you don’t have to manually roll the hose back onto the reel by hand. An adjustable friction break allows you to stop the unit and lock the drum in place when necessary.

Larger garden hose reels also feature hose control bar that prevents the hose from slipping off the discs. This is often used by commercial landscaping crews who have multiple flower beds and garden areas to water on a very large property. The bases of these larger units have holes for temporary mounting or permanent installation of the reel.

Both the smaller garden hose reel and the larger garden hose reel are manufactured with professional grade heavy duty steel construction. To further protect each unit from the extremes of heat, cold, wind, and rain, a proprietary power coating process is then applied to make the unit more durable and reliable after a long period of use outside. Easy Rack garden hose reels also feature rolled edges and ribbed discs that provide additional strength and safety. Our garden hose reels are made exclusively throughout the United States and sold throughout the world. Easy Rack drop ships to any location in the United States and backs up each purchase with a 2-year warranty.

Drum Cones

Drum cones allow you to precisely control the pouring of dry materials from your drum. They replace the actual drum lid and turn the entire drum itself into an accurate pouring instrument. Drum cones normally fasten to the sides of drums with a clamp collar, which you can obtain from Easy Rack in either Carbon Steel or Type 304 Stainless Steel. Either a slide gate or an iris valve functions as a variable aperture through which the drum contents can be measured and poured. This allows you to better control the pour, and it also extends the reach of the pour by up to 15.5”. When you need to reach beyond obstructions at the receiving container, a drum cone may be the only means you have of safely transferring drum contents.

In addition to more precise and easy pouring, drum cones offer a number of advantages as well. They will greatly reduce dust on the floor when discharging dry material. This helps minimize slip hazards (because dust can and will make a floor slippery) and less man hours spent on cleanup. Slide gates open and close so quickly that drum contents can be immediately dispensed and the pouring immediately stopped. This minimizes waste and makes measurement-oriented tasks much more precise. Any size drum can be fitted with one of these cones. We have cones for open-headed steel drums and for fiber headed drums. The angle of the drum cone is variable as well. You can choose between a 45 degree angle or a 60 degree angle to the 6” discharge opening. If you have special-sized drums in diameters 15-7/8” to 23-3/8”, you can also obtain drum cones in these cylinder sizes as well.

We strongly recommend that if you use a drum cone with a slide gate when you are pouring powdered material. Coarse granulated products are better poured through an Iris gate. The iris gate is made from a flexible sleeve and a handle that revolves around the sleeve to open and close it for use. The iris gate is made to be used with products that have up to 60lbs. per 3ft of density. Anything at or below this range can be safely poured without clogging the sleeve.

You can also order specialty drum cones. Units are available with a valve flange that will attach to the valve of your choice. Other drum cones can be obtained that feature no valve or slide gate and are simply 6” spouts that make pouring quicker and easier. Ask one of our experts about the style and diameter most suited to your drum pouring requirements and material handling process flow. Be certain to specify the outside diameter of the drum top, not the inside, when placing your order. For the most accurate measurements, remove the drum lid and take multiple measurements across the rim, then average the measurements.
