A Versatile Reel for Multiple Industries

Posted on 05/24/2023

Hannay hose and cable reels are built from the highest quality materials that stand up to the most demanding conditions. With our N700 spring rewind reels, we are providing an effective tool for diverse industries. The N700 is our most versatile reel, used for a number of applications, such as lubrication, air, water, high-pressure and many other general industrial purposes. This spring rewind reel holds up to 100 feet of 1/4", 3/8" or 1/2" ID hose. What really makes the N700 reel so versatile is its compact footprint and various mounting options.

A Trusty Farmhand

The N700 reel is capable of handling sensitive fluids needed in the agriculture industry, with high-pressure options for power washing or standard-pressure options for washdown operations. The N700 can be easily mounted and used on trailers, such as the Poultry Quick Wash designed by H&H Farm Machine Co. This quick-wash machine is used on farms for cleaning, disinfecting, and preventing the spread of disease in the interior of structures.

A Friend to the Food and Beverage Industry

The N700 reel is ideal for wall mounting in any food or beverage facility. The all-stainless steel options provide a corrosion-resistant material solution for a food and beverage environment like Albany Distilling Company that requires cleanliness and organization. Reels keep hoses off the ground so that heavy traffic areas are free from hazards. An organized environment is easier to keep clean when transporting fluids.

Convenient Animal Shelter Solutions

Animal shelters require constant washdown procedures. And, because there is typically a lot of activity involving animals, a reel that reduces maintenance is appreciated. The N700 saves animal shelter workers time at the Louisville Animal Shelter in Kentucky. The spring rewind feature is more efficient than hand-winding hose, and it’s safer for employees when hoses are not lying around.

“By having Hannay hose reels, I save roughly 35 minutes a day of my employees dragging and wrestling with the hose reel. Now I can repurpose their time to do animal enrichment, so that we can save more pets.” 

- Ozzy Gibson, Louisville Metro Animal Services Director

Works Well with Work Trucks

N700 reels are perfect for work trucks. With a compact design, the N700 can be installed for air or lubrication alongside other compact reels for a convenient bank of reels on a truck. Because multiple reels can fit on one service truck, businesses like TNT Repair can work quickly to repair railroad trains and equipment. Downtime in the railroad industry has a trickle-down effect to many other businesses, so a versatile reel offers many benefits.

A Special Reel for Lube Specialists

N700 reels are often seen on lube trucks used to service off-road heavy equipment or other vehicles. It’s possible to fit large banks of N700 reels on one truck or cabinet, allowing an operator to have access to dispense antifreeze, gear oil, engine oil, hydraulic oil and more. Hannay works closely with industry professionals, such as Lube Specialists, to ensure they get the exact reel they need. Whether an operation requires specific materials or varying sizes, Hannay has the capabilities and the expertise to make any reel a reality.

“Usually, we specify materials like aluminum or stainless steel internals for more marine and off-shore environments, but sometimes we get an extremely custom order that has to precisely fit a given area.” 

- Mike Lominack, Vice President of Lube Specialists

Fire and Rescue Assistance

The versatility of the N700 series reel is important in Safe Air Systems in the Fire and Rescue industry. A special version reel, the FN700,  is used for utility air in rescue tools in lifesaving operations. It’s important to conserve space on a fire/rescue apparatus, and the FN700’s compact footprint makes it ideal for rescue trucks.
