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.
