  New! Compact Low Height Rescue Reels (ELF Series)  
 

ELF Series

  • Available for all 3 rescue reel types— air, twin hydraulic or cord
  • New gear motor rewind (12 or 24V available) for slow, powerful rewind in small footprint
  • 14.5” maximum height (20% lower profile than standard reel)
  • Takes up only 70% of the space of a traditional reel for same capacity hose or cable
  • Universal 6 inch drum diameter, extending hose or cable life by meeting manufacturer's minimum bend radius
  • Highly durable 2-coat finish (alkyd-modified topcoat over e-coat primer)
  • Switch and circuit breaker provided with all ELF reels

The slow, even rewind speed provided by the specially engineered gear motor will be appreciated by users, and eliminates any need for installing a speed control device.

These reels are the most compact available (without sacrificing hose or cable life by using an undersized drum diameter).

  New! Crank Stow-away Holder For Reels  
 

 

Reels shipped with removable cranks can now optionally be equipped with vinyl coated retaining clips designed to stow auxiliary cranks conveniently on the side of the reel for easy access.

This option is available on most of our common fire, fuel, and industrial reels.

Your Hannay sales engineer will be happy to provide more details on this feature.

 
     
     
  New! Extended Phone Hours  
 

We have recently extended our phone sales and support hours by an additional 30 minutes (Monday through Thursday).  The new hours are 8 AM to 5 PM, except for Friday when we still close at 4:30 PM.

 
     
  New! Standard Hannay Paint Color Changing to Metallic GRAPHITE  
 
Hannay Reels is making a change to its standard paint color, moving from a light silver to a darker, more metallic silver hue, which will be marketed as GRAPHITE to distinguish it from its predecessor.

The new graphite color, shown to the right, will offer superior performance for a variety of measures (such as salt spray hours), while exhibiting higher gloss and a visually appealing look.

Until the end of July, the older light silver will be available upon request only before being phased out.  All orders received or built after the May start date will automatically be switched to the new graphite color.

As a reminder, standard Hannay paint colors are:

  • Metallic Graphite (standard when no color specified)
  • Red
  • Black
  • White
  • Green
  • Beige Primer

Hannay Reels continues to use a durable 2-coat system on virtually all of its reels, consisting of an e-coat dip primer and an alkyd-modified high performance topcoat.

 

 
  New! Extra-narrow Power Rescue Reel Introduced (EF2500 Series)  
 

 

 

Coming in at approximately half the width of our traditional power rescue reels, the EF2500 series reel is designed for the tightest truck cabinet space restrictions.

Models that can hold 100 ft. of 5,000 psi twin rescue hose are available with overall widths of under 10 inches (add an extra 2 inches for 10,000 psi systems with larger twin hose diameters).

A custom-spun steel spool and frame assembly make for an attractive, highly durable reel.  A reversible 12 or 24 volt DC motor drives the reel with plenty of torque to spare.

Your Hannay sales engineer can provide more information on this new product.

 
  Aluminum Hand Truck Option Now Available  
  Hannay Reels is now offering an aluminum-construction version of our hand truck.

Nearly any model reel ordered can now be specified with a hand truck option.  We will provide the proper mounting feet and hardware for quick and easy installation.  Different handle configurations and tire options (pneumatic or solid rubber) can be specified.

Turn any reel into a portable hose-storage solution with one of these specially modified hand trucks.  Talk to a Hannay sales engineer for further details.

 

 
  Chain Tensioner Option available on Petroleum Reels  
 

 

 

An automatic chain tensioner option is now available on several petroleum reel models (specifically, the "IV" or inverted installation series of reels).

With this accessory, chain tension is maintained better over the life of the drive system of the reel.  As normal chain stretch occurs over a long period of use, the spring-actuated tensioner maintains a constant force on the chain, lessening the need for maintenance.

 
  Folding Pull Handle Kits for Audio/Video Reels  
  Hannay Reels has introduced a field installable pull handle kit that installs in minutes with nothing required other than a 7/16" box wrench.

The pull handle works on the following reel models:
  - AV-2 or AVD-2 (with casters)
  - AV-3 or AVD-3 (with casters)

The part number for this kit is 9949.0500 and it is also available on new reels.

 

 
  "AG" and "AGN" Series Spring-Retractable Reels  
 

"AGN800" Series Reel (US Patent 7,475,841) Shown Above

 

The patented "AG" (Air-Governor) family of reels is the ultimate solution for gaining control over the rewind speed of a spring-powered reel.

Because speed is regulated by linking the power spring to an air restrictor, the result is smooth, controlled rewind speed every time the reel is used.  In particular, the AG series reels have three primary advantages over other speed control solutions:

  1. Highly scalable- The air governor can be scaled up to regulate speed on even the most powerful spring reels we offer.  Other designs can only work on light-duty springs.
  2. Operates in all climates- Because the AG series uses air flow to control speed, and not hydraulic fluids which degrade in performance as temperatures drop, it does not matter what the ambient temperature is for proper reel operation.
  3. Fully adjustable- The user can turn the air restrictor in either direction until the optimal rewind speed is found for the application.

For further information on the AG series reel, please download Form H-0708-AG.

  New Website Features for Dealers
 

Hannay Reels has recently enhanced the Dealers Only section of its website.  These changes are designed to provide quick and up-to-the-minute answers to the most common queries:
   -
Complete order shipment status
   - Carrier name, including tracking numbers
   - Shipping charges (when prepaid)
   - Expected ship dates on open orders
   - Price lists

For those dealers who are unfamiliar with the login process, there is a link on the left-hand side of the Hannay homepage called “DEALER LOGIN”.  Click on this link and enter your all-numeric customer ID number.  After that, you will have access to all of the features mentioned above.  If you do not know your customer ID number, you can call customer service for that information at 1-877-GOREELS (467-3357).

We hope you will try using these new website features and we welcome your feedback.

 

  AVD Series Cable Reels
  The AVD series reel includes the AVD-2 reel (shown here with optional casters) and the smaller AVD-1.  These portable, stackable reels are similar in construction to the AV series, but have a slotted divider disc within the reel spool.  This divider disc provides a convenient way for the user to have unobstructed access to both cable connector ends.

With this feature, it is easy to pull off any length of cable and still have access to both connectors.  There is no need to pull the entire length of cable off the reel before using it.

Divider discs are also optionally available on most Hannay audio-video (AV) models, including the AVC-1500 series reels.
 
  Cable Drum Extensions
  On our AVC16, AVC20, C16, and C20 families of reels, we now offer a cable storage drum extension option, seen in the picture to the left.  Similar in purpose to divider discs, these drum extensions allow user access to both ends of the cable without taking off the entire length, saving valuable time and effort.

These reels are used in a variety of applications, including military, commercial broadcast, pro-audio, and other communications applications.
