Retractable Air Hose Reel Systems
A hand-crank or retractable air hose reel is often constructed in heavy-grade welded steel, high-impact plastic or with a PVC casing, while those reels with a slim profile offer ease in placement and storage.
A heavy-duty reel with a dual support axle offers a perfect feature to withstand some of the vibrations coming from a mobile installation. A resilient reel in high-grade steel offers the toughest of builds, so suited to the most demanding of assignments.
A 25 to 100-foot air hose comes constructed in such resilient materials as heavy-duty rubber, plastic, or UV stabilized polypropylene. A dependable hose is designed to retain its shape and flexibility in all temperature conditions – either hot or cold, within a region of -20 degrees to +145 degrees F.
A wall mounted polypropylene air hose in a workshop environment ensures that it is always within easy reach for a efficient and quick hook-up to a assortment of air powered tools. Once a task is complete, a hose retracts into its reel for safekeeping until next required.
Some of the common features seen with an retractable air hose reel include -
A versatile mounting bracket provides up to 7 fixing positions on a floor, workbench, ceiling, pit, or wall for complete operational control, a multi-directional roller to eliminate most of the wear on a hose, multiple ratchet gearing positions or lock to hold a hose at a preferred length. A neat and evenly recoiling action – with an ability for a hose to layer back and forth across its reel for ease in accessing later on, and a hose guide, which is angled for a parallel and smooth retraction of its hose.
Alert, Woodcraft Supply, Reelcraft, Neiko, and Legacy all produce a selection of reliable and durable retractable reels equipped with multiple features to cope with the abuse that comes from a typical jobsite environment.
Overall, air hose reel offers a great piece of equipment to complement the quiet, efficient, and incredibly powerful air tools, such as the impact wrenches, sanders, drills, spray guns, air nailers and more.
