Hose Reel Solutions for Vehicles and Work Sites
Hose Reels Made for Daily Use
A hose reel should make hose use simple. It should hold the hose safely, let it run out with ease and help the user wind it back in. It should also be strong enough for daily work. Supply Plus offers +Collins Youldon hose reel solutions for fire, fuel and specialist vehicle use. Each hose reel is made to give long life, clear use and a neat fit on the vehicle or site.
Built in the UK
+Collins Youldon hose reels are made in the UK. They are built for jobs where trust matters. This can include fire trucks, fuel trucks, service units and plant or site use. The aim is simple. The hose reel must work well, fit well and last.
Each job can need a different reel. Some users need a small reel in a tight space. Some need a large reel for a long hose. Others need a reel that can carry a set fluid path or cope with harsh weather. Supply Plus can help match the reel to the task.
Hose Reel Sizes
The Collins Youldon range gives users a wide choice of hose reel sizes. Model types include Lowline, Compact, Standard, Intermediate, High Capacity and Ultra. This makes it easier to choose a reel that fits the space and the job.
A compact hose reel can suit a small vehicle bay. A standard reel can suit many common builds. A high capacity reel can help where more hose is needed. The right size can save space, aid access and help the user work with less strain.
Materials and Fluid Paths
A hose reel must be made from the right material for its use. Collins Youldon options include non-stainless steel, mild steel, 304 stainless steel and 316 stainless steel. These choices help suit fire, fuel, site and offshore needs.
Fluid path options include ¾ inch, 1 inch, 1 ¼ inch, 1 ½ inch and 2 inch sizes. Dual fluid paths are also offered. Fluid path materials can include mild steel, aluminium, gunmetal and 316 stainless steel. This helps the reel suit the hose, the flow and the liquid that will pass through it.
Easy Rewind Options
A good hose reel should be easy to wind back in. Collins Youldon reels can be supplied with manual, electric, air or hydraulic rewind. This lets the reel work with the vehicle system and the way the user works.
Manual rewind can be a simple choice. It is clear, strong and easy to use. Electric rewind can save time and effort. Air and hydraulic rewind can suit builds where those systems are already on the vehicle. Rewind handles can also be short, standard, long or extra long. This helps the user reach the handle and work in a safe position.
Frames, Guides and Brakes
The frame affects how the hose reel fits and how easy it is to use. Collins Youldon reels can have standard or sloping frames. They can also be set up for upright, inverted or bespoke layouts. This helps bodybuilders make good use of space.
Roller guides help the hose move in and out of the reel. Options include fixed four-way top or bottom guides, tilt-down guides and hinged guides. Brakes help control the drum. Choices include friction brakes, three-way brakes, electro-magnetic brakes and pin locks. These can help slow the drum and secure the reel when the vehicle is moving.
Finishes for Tough Places
Hose reels often work in tough places. They may face rain, dirt, salt, heat, fuel or hard daily use. The right finish can help protect the reel. General mild steel reels can be zinc-phosphated and powder-coated. Offshore reels can use polyester or epoxy powder-coated 316 stainless steel. Fire sector reels can be painted mild steel or painted stainless steel. A wide range of colours is also offered.
Support for Vehicle Builders
For OEMs and bodybuilders, a hose reel must fit the build as well as the job. Supply Plus supports vehicle fit with flexible mounts, angled rewinds, sloping frames, roller guides, mounting kits and safety features. These choices can make the reel easier to reach and easier to use.
A well planned hose reel can help reduce wasted space. It can also help the user work faster and safer. Supply Plus also supports long term use with spare parts and after sales help.
