From rugged, heavy-duty options to convenient, portable solutions, we’ve outlined all of our top picks for the sewer and waste industry. Keep reading to see which reel is right for your application and environment.

Vacuum and Suction

Hannay sets the standard for vacuum and suction hose reels. They work just as hard as you do while removing one stressor from the job: tangled, unorganized hose. Pairing high-quality materials with dependable construction, we offer low-maintenance reels with an emphasis on safety. 

VAC-5000 Series

The VAC-5000 Single Wrap Series reel is ideal for heavy-duty jobs that require a longer, larger hose. Able to accommodate 2" through 4" I.D. hose, the VAC-5000 can effortlessly rewind and wrap up hose. Its single-wrap configuration allows it to be easily mounted transverse to your truck frame, offering convenient access from either side of your vehicle. Gear-driven crank rewind or chain-and-sprocket drive options are available, powered by an electric, hydraulic, or compressed air motor for quick and easy pickup.

Pressure Washing

Hannay manufactures pressure-washing reels that stand up to the sewer and waste industry’s high safety and quality standards. With models able to handle pressures ranging from 3,000 to 10,000 psi, we have compact and heavy-duty options to suit your specific needs.

1100 Series 

The 1100 Series reel is a portable hose reel on wheels. Equipped with rubber tires for easy mobility, the 1100 Series is compatible with 3/8" through 5/8" I.D. hose and pressures up to 3,000 psi. A swivel-joint inlet, fluid hub, and outlet riser allow for a continuous flow. The reel also features a removable steel handlebar, direct crank rewind, and cam-lock drag brake.

1500 Series

Lightweight and compact, the 1500 Series reel can handle 3/8" through 5/8" I.D. hose. Manual rewind options feature a cam-lock drag brake, spring-actuated pin lock and direct crank, while the power rewind offers a chain-and-sprocket drive, powered by an electric, hydraulic, or air motor. For tougher jobs, a heavy-duty upgrade is available.

Jetting/Water Blasting

Jetting and water blasting are rigorous tasks that demand durable equipment to get the job done. Hannay carries heavy-duty steel reels fit for jetting and blasting applications. These reels have the capacity to safely hold longer hose with psi between 2,000 and 5,000.

6000 Series

This heavy-duty reel can handle single ½" through 1" I.D. hose. The 6000 Series is available with a manual or power rewind, as well as a chain guard upon request. Manual rewind models are fitted with a pinion brake, while power rewind models come with a bearing-mounted adjustable strap brake. On a standard 6000 Series reel, the inlet, outlet riser, and hub assembly are steel construction. A stainless steel hub assembly and aluminum or stainless steel swivel joints are available upon request to meet the demands of your application.

 

Video Pipeline Inspection

When conducting a video pipeline inspection, access is everything. You need to bring the hose and reel in close proximity to the source, so having a portable reel is much more than just a preference—it’s a must. These heavy-duty, direct crank reels are guaranteed to get the job done.

AT1300 Series

Another of our portable reels on wheels, the AT1300 Series is a direct crank rewind reel that features a six-foot power source lead of 10/3 cable. This reel features a three-conductor, 45-amp collector ring. A 15-amp, three-prong straight blade is also included with a twist-lock option available.
