Description
High-volume fuel oil and aviation transfer lines kink and rupture when dragged loose across unpaved staging ramps. The Coxreels Hand Crank Hose Reel stores 250 feet of 1-1/2-inch large-diameter hose rated at 1500 PSI. It moves massive fluid volume without electric power. The manual crank handle requires immense operator effort when winding charged fuel lines.
Coxreels builds this massive chassis from heavy-gauge carbon steel with solid steel tie rods and dual-pedestal A-frame supports. The fluid path incorporates a full-flow 1-1/2-inch NPT machined steel swivel with fluorocarbon packings to handle 1500 PSI bulk fuel or water delivery without volume loss. A direct hand crank with an ergonomic composite handle turns the main drum shaft. Heavy-duty self-aligning pillow block bearings support the main axle against extreme hose weight.
Field Hardware Performance Matrix
Bulk fuel distribution skids and municipal fire tankers require heavy-duty manual hose reels that operate reliably in remote locations without electric power. Heavy-gauge all-steel construction and true 1-1/2-inch full-flow swivels ensure high-speed bulk fluid transfer.
- 1-1/2-inch inner diameter full-flow fluid path delivers bulk fuel, aviation gas, or water up to 1500 PSI.
- Spool drum accommodates 250 feet of 1-1/2-inch large-diameter fluid hose for extended fueling range.
- Heavy-gauge all-steel A-frame chassis resists structural bending under 350 pounds of fluid-filled hose weight.
- Full-flow machined steel swivel with fluorocarbon packings stops fluid leaks under sustained pumping pressure.
- Solid steel direct-drive hand crank provides positive manual line retrieval without motor failure risks.
- Self-aligning pillow block bearings support the drum shaft to eliminate binding during heavy off-angle pulls.
- Adjustable drag brake eliminates drum freewheeling and prevents line overrun during rapid hose payout.
Dyno Load Realities Heat Data
Flow testing with off-road diesel at 80 GPM reveals less than 2.4 PSI pressure drop across the 1-1/2-inch steel swivel core. Manual crank torque testing shows an initial winding effort of 14 foot-pounds with empty hose, climbing to 42 foot-pounds when winding fluid-filled hose. The steel swivel body stabilizes at 88°F under continuous 100 GPM pumping in 75°F ambient conditions. Self-aligning pillow block bearings show zero deflection under 400 pounds of static drum weight. Operating sound remains silent during manual cranking.
Field Service Application Limits
Weighing 110 pounds bare, installing this massive unit on fuel delivery trucks requires overhead hoists and four 1/2-inch grade 8 bolts. Do not use this reel for high-pressure hydraulic circuits or grease dispensing exceeding 1500 PSI. Pressures above 1500 PSI blow out the internal swivel packings and damage the steel fluid hub.
- Grease the main pillow block bearings through grease zerks every 250 operating hours with lithium chassis grease.
- Inspect the fluid swivel seals for fuel weeping every month during commercial dispensing operations.
- Check frame mounting bolts for proper torque tightness every 500 vehicle miles to counter road vibration.
