High Pressure Fluid Hose Reels - 3/25/2015

The benefits of high pressure hosereels are vast, especially in firefighting situations. One application of a hose reel is in firefighting, where a flat hose is unrolled and then filled with extreme water pressure in a blink of an eye. After the fire is put out, the hose is stored back in its place with a high pressure and automatic hose reel—ready to be pulled out again for the next fire.

Not only does the fire hose reel provide storage for the hose, it also provides safety from sun damage, kinking, entanglement and other wear and tear from being placed on the ground. These benefits will extend the performance and overall life of the hose. Not only to hose reels benefit the hose itself, they keep the firefighters out of danger from tripping over the hose when they need to worry about putting fires out. Functionality of the hose is also of concern. Any damage or kinking of the hose could lead to a drop in pressure, resulting in lack of water or air—rendering the hose useless. When performance fails, worker and community safety is at risk.

In addition to the benefits listed above, high pressure hose reels are sometimes designed to be retractable automatically. They are also built with steel frames for extreme durability. When it comes to situations like putting out fires, only superior equipment should be used and depended on to make sure that the outcome is the desired one.
