3 Must-Haves for Your Construction Reels

Posted on 12/02/2021

No matter where the job takes you, there’s one thing for certain: every job site brings a new slew of challenges. From contending with the elements to keeping up with heavy demands, your construction reels have to be ready for anything. Read on to see how Hannay reels can help you defeat downtime before it derails your construction operation while boosting efficiency and performance.

Durability You Can Depend On

Out in the field, it’s always best to be prepared for the worst. Crews certainly can’t control the conditions they work in, but they can choose heavy-duty reels that are ready to withstand a fierce environment. That’s why Hannay only uses top-quality materials designed to withstand whatever Mother Nature throws your way.

Take the heavy-duty 1500 Series manual or power rewind reels. These reels feature 3/16" thick discs, 8" diameter steel 14-gauge drum, and optional pressures of 5,000 or 10,000 psi for increased longevity and peace of mind during high pressure, water, and air applications.

Make Room for Organization

With so much equipment to carry around a jobsite, there’s no room to waste space. Keeping hoses and cables organized in the work zone saves valuable time, and that translates to direct cost savings for you. Hannay reels are designed with these constraints in mind so that you can keep your focus on the job ahead.

Our N700 Series spring rewind reel helps you maximize space. The reel’s narrow frame and compact mounting base can accommodate for limited free space and the installation flexibility that is often required in lubrication, hydraulic tool use, assembly operations, and other similar construction applications.

Reliable Components for Easy Maintenance 

Frequent, heavy use is always hard on equipment. Even the most robust, ruggedly built reels will require maintenance now and again to maintain top performance in the construction industry. We’re committed to developing our reels with components that hold up to trying conditions and can be quickly swapped out in the field.

Reels like our N400 Series spring rewind gas welding model feature bolted-on components and conveniently located 90° ball bearing swivel joints for swift, simple maintenance. In a matter of minutes, operators can jump right back into a project without facing significant maintenance delays.

Equip Your Crew with the Right Reels

At Hannay, we design our reels to spec. That means they’re built to excel in your specific applications. If your job requires specific tasks like arc welding or handling live electric cable, we’ve got you covered.

Our SWCR spring rewind reel for arc welding is designed to handle #2 through 4/0 cable to 400 amps. This reel is built with efficiency in mind. It comes standard with a quick connection to your welder and an easy access grease zerk fitting on the outside of the reel for internal components that are typically difficult to access in the field.

Our CR6600 is designed for the safe handling of live electric cable. This reel features a 3-conductor, 45 amp, 600 volt collector assembly with #8 gauge wiring.

Your reels should work as hard as you do. At Hannay, we prioritize the highest in safety, efficiency, and performance across our full product range. To learn more about our construction reels, contact us at 877-467-3357, email reels@hannay.com, or visit the links below.
