Circular reel, 18 in diameter, for fire hose of 75 ft

18 in Circular Reel for 75 ft Fire Hose

The 18 in diameter circular reel is designed to store and quickly deploy a 75 ft fire hose of 1.5 in diameter. Compact and solidly built, it ensures fast unwinding of the hose in an emergency while keeping the station tidy. Its circular shape makes it easy to wind a hose folded in two, and its wall mounting frees up floor space, making it a practical solution for commercial, industrial and institutional buildings.

Of robust steel construction, this reel is built to last and to withstand repeated use. Two sizes of circular reels are offered in the range, able to accommodate hoses up to 250 ft long depending on the model ; this 18 in version is optimized for 75 ft hoses.

The circular design allows the hose to be unwound in a single motion, without knots or kinks, saving precious seconds during a response.

Solid Construction and Space Saving

Made of steel, the reel mounts on the wall and frees up floor space ; its compact structure suits corridors, workshops and technical rooms.
