Description
Steel vehicle-mount hose reels corrode and push service truck axle weights past legal road limits. The Reelcraft 3/4 Inch x 100 Ft aluminum reel provides high-volume fuel and water transfer using a corrosion-proof chassis. Holding 100 feet of 3/4-inch hose at 500 PSI, it feeds fleet equipment. The drive motor stalls if line wraps bunch against side discs.
Reelcraft fabricates the main frame uprights and side discs from heavy-gauge marine-grade aluminum to shed weight and eliminate rust. The internal fluid hub features an unchoked 3/4-inch aluminum shaft paired with a full-flow nickel-plated swivel and fluorocarbon seals. A 12-Volt DC electric motor rotates the drum via a precision chain and sprocket reduction drive. Sealed stainless steel ball bearings support the drum axle to prevent binding under heavy hose weight.
Field Hardware Performance Matrix
Mobile aviation refuelers and municipal spray trucks require lightweight hardware that withstands weather exposure without sacrificing line capacity. Corrosion-proof aluminum construction and electric motorized rewind deliver effortless fluid transfer on highway utility bodies.
- Heavy-gauge marine aluminum construction reduces unit weight by 40 percent compared to traditional carbon steel reels.
- 12-Volt DC electric drive motor provides high-torque line retrieval for 100 feet of charged 3/4-inch hose.
- 3/4-inch full-flow aluminum fluid path handles up to 500 PSI working pressure for fuel and water transfer.
- Electroless nickel-plated fluid swivel with fluorocarbon seals prevents leaks during diesel fuel dispensing.
- Roller chain reduction drive incorporates an enclosed aluminum chain guard for technician finger protection.
- Unitized aluminum base features pre-drilled mounting slots for installation on truck body tops or utility decks.
- Adjustable spool tension brake stops drum overrun and eliminates loose line unspooling during highway transport.
Dyno Load Realities Heat Data
Bench dyno testing with 100 feet of fluid-filled 3/4-inch hose shows the 12-Volt motor pulling 24 Amps under load. Motor housing skin temperature peaks at 144°F after 4 continuous full-length line retrievals in an 85°F shop bay. Flow testing with diesel fuel at 35 GPM shows less than 2.8 PSI pressure loss through the swivel core. Chain drive deflection holds at 0.25 inches under full torque. Retrieval speed measures 3.9 feet per second under full 12-Volt battery power.
Field Service Application Limits
Weighing 52 pounds bare, this aluminum unit requires flat steel backing plates when bolted to composite service bodies. Do not use this reel for high-pressure hydraulic circuits or grease dispensing exceeding 500 PSI. Hydraulic pressures above 500 PSI rupture the aluminum fluid shaft and burst the swivel seals.
- Lubricate the steel drive chain with dry aerosol graphite every 100 operating hours to prevent link wear.
- Inspect the aluminum swivel seal for fuel weeping every 250 hours of fleet dispensing operation.
- Check electrical wiring harness terminals for road corrosion every 90 days to maintain full voltage.
