Description
Standard pedestal reels do not fit inside narrow truck side packs, service cabinets, or vertical wall chases. The Coxreels Side Mount Reel with adjustable guide arm installs flush against flat vertical surfaces. Holding 50 feet of 1/2-inch hose at 300 PSI, it manages air and water distribution. The side-mounting plate flexes if bolted to thin unsupported sheet metal.
Coxreels fabricates this side-mount reel from heavy-gauge robotic-welded carbon steel with an electrostatic powder finish. The internal fluid hub features an unchoked 1/2-inch solid brass axle connected to a full-flow brass swivel joint with nitrile packings to eliminate water corrosion. A cartridge-style tempered steel clock spring provides balanced recoil torque across the drum. An adjustable guide arm with case-hardened rollers redirects line extraction angles to prevent hose scuffing against cabinet doors.
Field Hardware Performance Matrix
Enclosed service truck compartments and narrow maintenance bays require side-mount hose storage to maximize usable cargo space. Heavy-gauge welded steel framing and solid brass rotary plumbing maintain reliable fluid flow in tight installations.
- Side-mount steel mounting plate installs flush against vehicle cabinet walls, vertical posts, or service truck bodies.
- 50-foot 1/2-inch inner diameter hose capacity accommodates commercial air compressor lines and washdown hoses.
- 300 PSI maximum working pressure handles pneumatic equipment needs and high-volume washdown systems.
- Solid brass full-flow swivel joint and axle resist internal water rust and eliminate airflow choke points.
- Cartridge spring motor allows safe maintenance replacement without exposing technicians to uncoiled spring steel.
- Multi-position locking ratchet mechanism holds the hose payout length to relieve line pull during work.
- Adjustable guide arm with four-direction rollers repositions to multiple angles for smooth hose extraction.
Dyno Load Realities Heat Data
Tension pull testing records an initial extraction effort of 8.5 pounds, increasing to 17.5 pounds at full 50-foot payout. Flow bench testing reveals a minimal 3.6 PSI pressure drop while flowing 45 CFM at 90 PSI to commercial air tools. The enclosed mainspring completes 8000 consecutive recoil cycles without spring fatigue or latch tooth wear. Environmental chamber testing shows the brass swivel seals withstand 180°F water temperatures without leaking. Retraction sound levels check in at 64 dBA at 3 feet distance.
Field Service Application Limits
Weighing 37 pounds bare, installing this side-mount unit requires minimum 10-gauge steel backing plates on truck bodies. Do not use this reel for transferring gasoline, motor oil, or high-pressure hydraulic fluid. Petroleum distillates degrade the internal nitrile swivel packings and cause hazardous fluid leaks inside enclosed cabinets.
- Purge moisture from the supply compressor tank every week to prevent water pooling inside the brass swivel.
- Inspect the guide arm roller pins for free spin every 250 hours to prevent hose jacket wear.
- Check side-mount bracket fasteners for proper torque every 300 operating hours to stop vibration loosening.
