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.
