Keeping vacuum hoses organized in the shop or on the truck not only fashions a professional look, but untamed hoses laying around can also be a safety hazard if ignored.
The COXREELS V-100 series of hose reels is engineered for any application where vacuum hoses are frequently used, whether it be cleanup or dust collection in the shop or storing hoses on trucks going to and from pumping jobs.
“Vacuum hoses tend to want to coil in large loops and make a big mess if not managed. The V-100 series keeps the hose neatly wound,” says John Kucera, director of engineering for COXREELS.
COXREELS builds the V-100 series with a sturdy, one piece A-frame base that is CNC robotically welded. It features a double supported axle and mounting holes positioned for easy installation and detachment. The manual crank handle is mounted directly to the base with integral bearings for ease of use.
Each hose reel features ribbed disc sides with rolled edges, providing strength and safety while protecting the coiled hose and securely holding it in place. A low-profile outlet riser and open drum slot design provides a noncrimping smooth surface for the hose to wrap on.
“The V-100 series offers an O-ring sealed swivel for complete vacuum containment and 100% full-flow air path,” Kucera says. “It is available in two sizes for both 1 1/2- or 1 1/4-inch hose. It also includes a special inlet design that allows the use of 1 1/2- or 2-inch inlet hoses on both models.”
The steel used is CPC powder coated to extend the life of the V-100 series. Built-in drag breaking and available accessories such as pin locks, swivel bases and roller brackets are also options, and all V-100 series reels come standard with direct connect ports for vacuum hose with bullet buffs.
COXREELS will also fill the reel if customers need. “We offer the product with a commercial grade vacuum hose in both hose sizes,” Kucera says.
“This has been our fastest growing product line in the past few years,” he says. “And we are working on expanding the swivel base options by popular demand.”
