Heavy Duty Retractable Air Hose Reel Systems

A multi-purpose retractable air hose reel, with a resilient construction in PVC, high-impact plastic, or all-welded steel offers a perfect tool for securing a hose, while those reels with a narrow footprint are conveniently sized for storage and placement.

A hose feel, with such features as a dual supported axle, offer an effective measure to withstand the vibrations often seen with mobile installations. Reels in a resilient, and high-grade steel construction are most suited to the most difficult and demanding jobsite assignments.

An air hose with 25, 50, 75 or 100-foot length comes in a choice of resilient materials, with common options including heavy-duty and UV stabilized polypropylene, rubber, or plastic. A well-designed hose is equipped to retain its flexibility in extreme temperature conditions – with some rated to cope at -20 degrees Fahrenheit to +165 degrees Fahrenheit.

A high-quality rubber or polypropylene air hose mounted in a garage environment ensures it is always within reach for an efficient and swift connection to a powerful air powered-tool. Once a project is completed, a hose soon retracts back into its reel housing for safe storage until required for the next assignment.

Some key features to a retractable air hose reel consist of -

A flexible mounting bracket with 1 to 7 fixing positions for complete control on a wall, floor, workbench, pit or ceiling position, up to 8 ratcheting gears to hold a cord at a desirable working length, and 4 to 6 non-snagging rollers to help limited wear on the hose. A neat and even rewind of the hose is often achieved with a automatic layering system – which lays the hose back and forth across the hose for quick and convenient access at a later date.

Reelcraft, Woodcraft Supply, Neiko, Legacy, Alert, and Cyclone Pneumatic all offer a collection of reliable air hose reels, with retractable or hand-crank systems to cope with the heavy-duty demands typical with a busy shop environment.

All in all, a resilient automatic or manual hose reel offers a perfect piece of equipment to go with an incredibly quiet, efficient and powerful air tool – such as the sander, air nailer, drill, spray gun, and impact wrench.
