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.

A quality garden cart from Easy Rack can make your gardening experience much more enjoyable.

Are you in the commercial nursery business, a landscaper, lawn service provider or just an avid gardener who loves being outdoors? Regardless of your situation using a quality garden cart from Easy Rack can make your gardening task much more enjoyable and certainly more productive.

Garden carts allow you to easily navigate rough terrains and safely transport bulk materials that your would otherwise have to carry or perhaps place in a wheel barrow. Wheel barrows can sometimes be clumsy or dangerous should your load shift or the front wheel hit an obstruction. Carrying such things as bags of mulch, stepping stones and fertilizer can be detrimental to your back. These risks are minimized with utility carts, garden carts or any rolling cart.

The highest quality materials are used throughout the construction of all our industrial carts and they all come fully powder coat finished to help them to resist corrosion that comes from chemicals, fertilizers and from just being outside in the garden. One of the most popular designs of lawn and garden carts available is a simple platform truck with four heavy duty pneumatic wheels. These platform garden trucks have a mesh bottom supported by metal spars that allows loose dirt to simply drop through onto the ground, while holding pots and sacks in place. The use of mesh also prevents rainwater from pooling on the platform, and reduces the risk of rusting.

These are commercial grade cart products that professionals use. You won't find these rolling carts at your local home center or hardware store. If you are interested in learning more about our material handling equipment and in particular, contact Easy Rack at 713-553-1122.

We are here to help and want to grow our relationship with you!
