Vacuum hose reels are used with hoses for vacuum recovery or to extract unwanted fumes, particles and by-products from work areas using low- to high-volume suction. Choose spring-return reels or hand-crank hose reels. The spring-return, also called self-retracting, spring-driven, or spring rewind, allows users to manually rewind hose onto the reel without an external power source. The spring-return has a locking ratchet and pawl that locks into place once users have pulled the hose to the desired length. The ratchet is released by pulling the hose out, and then hose can be rewound onto the reel. Hand-crank hose reels, also known as manual rewind reels, are manually-operated using a crank handle that is attached to the barrel of the reel, and turning this handle causes the barrel to simultaneously turn retracting hose.
