Upgrade Your Construction Site with Hose and Cable Reels

Posted on 03/16/2023

A construction site is a busy place with workers focused on the task at hand. Heavy-duty trucks and equipment occupy space and create potential hazards. Order and organization are essential to the safety of workers and equipment operators, so the right hose and cable reels can be an asset to any operation.

There are many benefits to utilizing reels at your construction site:

• Organization – Equipment is easier to find when it’s wrapped and stored in an organized manner.  Reels protect expensive hoses and cables and keep them off the ground. Hoses suffer less wear and tear and fewer cracks and leaks from kinks.
• Safety – A hose or cable that is wrapped and organized will not become a tripping hazard on the jobsite. Fewer hazards mean fewer injuries.
• Ease of use – When the task is complete, reels make it easier to quickly rewind long lengths of hose. Plus, a reel is easier to handle than bundles of wrapped-up hoses or cables.
• Space – Hannay offers several reels with a small footprint. Compact spring reels allow for multiple operators working on different applications on a site without interference.

Depending on your industry, there is likely a hose and cable reel that can be added to your construction site to help make things run smoother. Hannay offers reels for water, air, fuel, and electric cables.

Spring rewind reels are ideal for holding up to 100 feet of hose. They’re easy to rewind and have a compact footprint, so they can be installed in tight spaces. That gives you the opportunity to house multiple reels in one spot. These spring rewind reels would upgrade any construction site.

Air, Water, Pneumatic Tools, Grease, and Even Hydraulic Needs

With a compact frame and narrow base, the N500 and N600 reels are ideal for hydraulics, spray painting, and other applications. The N700 and N800 reels are also great in tight spaces and useful in all general industrial applications.

Arc & Fuel Welding

The SWCR and N400 reels handle various sizes of welding hose to help keep operators safer.

Power Tools, Lighting & Electric Cord Storage

Both the NSCR700 and SCR700 spring rewind reels are designed to handle live electric cable to make jobsites less hazardous.

Manual or power rewind reels are also equipped for longer lengths of hose. While they might not be as compact, they are ideal for a construction site where a longer reach is needed. Here are some manual or power rewind reel options.

Air & Water

For air, water, pneumatic tools, and pressure washing, both the 1500 and 1800 reels are lightweight and compact, but designed for long lengths of hose.

Arc Welding

The WCR manual or power rewind arc welding reel allows for quick connection to your welder. It can handle #2 through 4/0 cable to 400 amps.

Power Tools & Lighting 

Power tools and lighting setups require a live cable reel that is easy to transport. The CR1600 reel is available with a removable crank rewind or motorized chain and sprocket drive.

Portable options are available for jobsites with areas that are difficult to access in a large work truck. Whether you need hose reels, live cable reels, welding reels, or storage reels, the portable option will either be equipped with wheels, or it will be lightweight and easy to carry. If the jobsite calls for a reel, we’ll help you find a suitable portable option. Give us a call at 877-467-3357 or email reels@hannay.com.
