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.
