Description
Uncontrolled cord retractions whip heavy light heads into vehicle windshields and technician faces. The Coxreels Safety System Spring Driven cord reel features EZ-Coil controlled retraction to slow rewind speed by 80 percent. Holding 50 feet of cable with an LED work light, it eliminates snapback injuries. The LED light lens scratches if dragged across gravel floors.
Coxreels fabricates this safety reel from heavy-gauge carbon steel plate protected by a chip-resistant powder finish. The internal electrical path incorporates solid copper slip rings paired with copper-graphite brushes to transfer 120-Volt electrical current without arcing. The patented EZ-Coil rewind system uses a centrifugal viscous clutch to dampen spring retraction speed without requiring electrical power. The terminal end features a shatterproof industrial LED work light delivering 1000 lumens of high-output illumination.
Field Hardware Performance Matrix
Automotive inspection pits and fleet maintenance stalls require illuminated workspaces without cable snapback risks. Patented centrifugal speed damping and heavy-gauge steel framing ensure safe cord retrieval and reliable illumination.
- Patented EZ-Coil controlled retraction system reduces cord rewind speed by up to 80 percent to eliminate whip injuries.
- 50-foot 16/3 SJTOW oil-resistant and water-resistant electrical cord provides flexible reach across maintenance bays.
- Industrial shatterproof LED light head delivers 1000 lumens of high-visibility workspace illumination.
- Solid copper slip-ring collector hub transfers 120-Volt current without intermittent contact during spooling.
- Single-pedestal 1/4-inch solid steel support arm stops drum deflection under off-axis cable pulls.
- Enclosed cartridge spring motor allows safe maintenance replacement without loose spring steel hazards.
- Multi-angle four-roller fairlead guides 16-gauge cable onto the drum without outer jacket pinching.
Dyno Load Realities Heat Data
Under dyno pull testing, extraction force measures 5.0 pounds at initial release, reaching 11.5 pounds at full 50-foot payout. The EZ-Coil mechanism slows free-spool retraction speed from 12.0 feet per second down to a safe 2.8 feet per second. Continuous illumination tests show the LED light head stabilizes at 104°F after 4 hours of operation in 75°F ambient air. The internal slip ring and spring mechanism cycle 10000 times without contact resistance increase. Operating noise measures 59 dBA.
Field Service Application Limits
Weighing 35 pounds, mounting this safety cord reel overhead requires four 5/16-inch bolts into solid structural steel. Do not submerge the LED light head in degreasing wash basins or use this cord reel on 240-Volt circuits. Water immersion ruins the internal LED driver board and creates catastrophic electrical shock hazards.
- Inspect the outer SJTOW cable jacket for cuts or copper exposure before starting workshop shifts.
- Check frame mounting bolts for tightness every 250 operating hours to counter shop vibration.
- Wipe down the LED light lens with a soft microfiber cloth every week to maintain maximum illumination.
