Trenchless Technology Reels

When people use the term "trenchless technology" they are referring to alternative methods of cleaning, removing or installing a pipe that are minimally invasive. Trenchless technology allows workers to avoid digging a trench to access the pipe by giving them above ground solutions to get the job done. At Unique Hose Reels, we provide convenient trenchless technology to a variety of industries. Our sewer jetter reels are just one example of a quality product in this category.

Sewer Jetter Reels

Our sewer jetter hose reels are used in heavy duty commercial plumbing and sewer applications. To clean sewers, the hose is unraveled from the reel and inserted into the pipe. Using a strong pumping action, the hose removes blockage or buildup in the pipe. The hose is made to be strong enough to withstand the winching force of the reel, but flexible enough to snake through a pipe. The reel itself sits above ground on a metal frame that keeps the hose wound up in an orderly fashion. After use, the power can be activated to pull the hose back up and rewind it on the wheel.

R-33 inverted style hose reel

R33 Series Hose Reels is a utilitarian reel designed specifically for rugged, heavy duty applications. These reels are designed to be mounted vertically in fuel trucks.

Fire Fighting

This compressed Air Foam System (CAFS) has been mounted in the back of a Dodge Sprinter. Compressed air is used in a variety of applications for both fire fighting and fire protection. The foam generated can be dry (like shaving cream) for painting surfaces for fire protection or wet (like sticky soap suds) for fighting fire. The benefit of foam is that it sticks to vertical and overhead surfaces and stays exactly where you put it. The foam also reduces the surface tension of water and increases penetration into porous surfaces.

Military Application

Today, this unique two-reel POD system is being used in Afghanistan by the Canadian Government. One hose reel provides fuel/oil delivery for refuelling the trucks while the other delivers potable water.

Utilities Application

This specialty 1 ½ " ID hose from the R5 Series proves a safe choice for fuel delivery.

Jetter hose reels are utilized in the storage and functionality of jetter hoses. These hoses are used in sewer cleaning as well as downhole and other industrial applications, as they are the ideal solution for cleaning out internal build up in pipes. Generally, these hoses are built to be flexible enough to snake in and out of sewer lines but also durable enough to withstand winching forces.
