What is a Fuel Hose Reel?
Fuel hose reels are industrial devices used in fuel transfer operations that automatically rewinds the fuel hoses, allowing the hose on the reel to move while the supply hose remains fixed at the reel’s inlet.
Manufactured to specific standards, Euroreels fuel hose reels are indispensable at fuel distribution points and in the field. They enable the organized storage of unused hoses, maintaining the station or distribution point’s order and ensuring safe hose storage. This organization also enhances workplace efficiency.
Fuel hose reel is designed with a latching feature. The locking mechanism ensures that the spring tension in the reel is not transferred to the operator during use, allowing for comfortable operation.
A simple pull and release disengages the locking mechanism, triggering the automatic rewinding of the hose.
Types of Reels Available
Euroreels fuel hose reels are generally equipped with an automatic rewinding mechanism and are available in spring-driven or electric motor-driven options. Additionally, manual fuel hose reel is offered under the EuroReels guarantee.
Once the fuel transfer is complete, the reel automatically rewinds the hose, which can be released by the user, with the aid of the spring or motor. This provides:
- Practicality for the user.
- Organized storage of the fuel hose.
- Prevention of potential hazards.
- Elimination of hose crushing risks, save additional costs.
Fuel hose reel not only maintain workplace order but also enhance safety standards. Properly wound hoses help prevent potential fires or accidents, ensuring a professional and safe appearance at the workplace. Consequently, hose reels are critical equipment used at fuel distribution points and represent a significant investment for businesses.
