- High pressure cleaning reels for jetting, water blasting and other extreme pressure uses
- Special applications requiring unique electric, hydraulic and air motors
- Reels with multi-passage swivel joints and multi-circuit slip rings
- Single wrap reels with a narrow footprint for aviation, home refueling or vacuum hose
- Multi-wrap reels for longer lengths of hose
- Floater reels for offshore, ship to shore or ship to ship fuel transport
- Unique driver systems designed for heavy industrial use
- Most models are available in steel, stainless steel or aluminum construction
Reels with Multi-Passage Joints
For applications that require several individual hoses, we make custom reels with multi passage joints for different fluid or air requirements.
Reels for Environmental Cleanup Tarps
For unusual applications, such as environmental cleanup tarps, we custom make shields for extra tarp protection and offer a variety of rewind styles, including electric, air, hydraulic and manual.
Reels for Food/Beverage
For the food and beverage industry, Hannay Reels can custom design stainless steel reels with superior resistance to harsh environments.
Single Wrap Reels
Made especially for aircraft refueling and home fuel delivery applications, custom single wrap reels can rewind without an operator manually layering the hose.
Heavy Duty Fluid Path Reels
Custom heavy duty live fluid path reels can be manufactured to accommodate hoses up to 6” in diameter with solid ¼ steel flanged discs and 2” or 3” square tubing frames.
Durable Custom Reels
Custom options on our reels can include fork pockets, lifting eyes, hydraulic caliper brakes, heavy duty pinlocks, roller assemblies and rugged construction to withstand harsh environments.
The Custom Process
To ensure your custom reel fits your needs perfectly, we are committed to collaboration from the start.
When a request comes in, one of our Sales Engineers gathers information from you on how the reel will be used including the following requirements:
- Environment
- Application
- Power drive requirements
- Temperature, pressure or amperage needed
- Size and footprint
- Construction and finish
From there, these specs will be passed on to our Design Engineering team to determine the best solution and specs to fit your unique needs. Once the specs are approved, the reel goes into production. The Hannay Sales and Design team work closely with the Custom Shop through the entire building process.
