Description
Loose bulk fuel and suction lines on service trucks create severe trip hazards and vehicle runover damage. The Coxreels Hand Crank Hose Reel stores 150 feet of giant 1-1/2-inch line on a rigid steel frame. Rated at 1500 PSI, it manages bulk fluid transfer. The manual direct-crank handle demands significant muscle power when winding charged hoses.
The chassis utilizes an all-welded classic A-frame fabricated from heavy 10-gauge structural plate steel with robotically welded cross-gussets to eliminate frame twist. Fluid travels through an external 1-1/2-inch full-flow nickel-plated ductile iron swivel sealed with nitrile packings, delivering high flow rates with minimal pump restriction. A solid 1-1/2-inch steel center axle turns inside self-aligning pillow block bearings, while a long steel hand crank provides mechanical leverage during line retrieval.
Bulk Fluid Hardware Matrix Data
High-volume fuel delivery and municipal water trucks require heavy manual containment for large diameter lines. This direct-crank steel frame handles immense fluid weights without frame deflection.
- 1500 PSI maximum operating pressure rating accommodates bulk fuel oil, water transfer, and hydraulic lines.
- 150-foot 1-1/2-inch inside diameter capacity manages high-volume fluid transfers across large work zones.
- Full-flow 1-1/2-inch ductile iron swivel minimizes fluid turbulence and transfer pump backpressure.
- Direct-drive steel hand crank provides complete operator rewind control without spring tension failure points.
- Self-aligning pillow block bearings provide frictionless drum rotation under heavy fluid weight.
- Adjustable tension drag brake prevents drum freewheeling during vehicle transit over rough roads.
- Heavy-gauge steel drum discs feature rolled ribs to stop spool spread under high internal pressure.
Bulk Transfer Flow Dyno Telemetry
Flow bench evaluations measure restriction and mechanical cranking resistance under bulk fluid loads. Pumping 95 GPM diesel through the 1-1/2-inch swivel creates a low 4.2 PSI pressure drop across the reel core. Swivel metal temperatures match ambient fuel temps with zero thermal buildup. Acoustic measurements record 58 dBA at 3 feet during manual cranking. The direct-drive crank handle requires 18 foot-pounds of input torque to retrieve 150 feet of empty rubber hose across level gravel.
Field Service Maintenance Boundaries
Large fluid transfer rigs experience massive dynamic line loads. Do not connect this reel to high-pressure wash systems exceeding 1500 PSI, as the large-diameter swivel seals will rupture under shock pressure. Never travel with the drum drag brake loose.
- Grease the 1-1/2-inch pillow block bearings every 50 hours of fluid transfer.
- Inspect swivel nitrile packings for fluid weeping every 40 operating hours.
- Check base mounting bolt torque every 250 miles on rough terrain.
Commercial Warranty Package Contents
Factory coverage includes a 2-Year limited warranty covering structural chassis welds, axle pillow block bearings, and fluid swivel defects. The shipping crate contains the assembled manual steel hose reel, external 1-1/2-inch fluid swivel, hand crank handle, drum lock pin, and technical installation instructions without hose.
