Gopher Industrial is committed to providing outstanding industrial products and services to our customers. One of our core areas of focus is in providing high quality, leak-proof hoses. However, great hoses will only take you so far if they quickly begin wear out from neglect or improper storage. To truly get the most benefit from hoses, they must be well-maintained and stored, and easy to dispense or retract. That is where hose reels come into play.
What Are Hose Reels?
In simplest terms a hose reel is simply a spindle around which a hose is spooled. However, while this may seem very straightforward, and indeed the basic concept is, there is a great deal more to hose reels than that. Hose reels are as variable and customizable as hose itself since the reel must adapt to fit the needs and requirements of the hose. Let's take a look at several different options and classifications for hose reels
Different Hoses Get Different Types of Hose Reels
One of the most common ways to categorize hose reels is based on the type of hose that the reel holds. Some of the most common types include:
Different Hose Sizes Need Different Hose Reels
Another common way to classify hose reels is based on the size of the hose, both in terms of the hose’s length and diameter. Different length and diameter hoses require different hose reel size and design. Having the correct hose reel for the hose’s length and diameter is a fundamental step for ensuring that the hose is well-maintained when not in use and for preventing cracking leaks.
Different Materials for Different Hose Reels
Hose Reels also come in a variety of different materials. This helps ensure that the hose reel is able to stand up to the demands of the job in terms of temperature resistance, strength, flexibility, and other factors. Some common hose reel materials include:

Hose Reels Go Where They Are Needed
In addition to hose type, size, reel material, and retracting method, hose reels also offer different options for how and where they are mounted.

This ensures that the hose reel can go wherever it is needed without compromising its strength and quality.
