Reelcraft G9600 OLPBW spring retractable high capacity hose reels are designed to be compact and allow for longer lengths of larger diameter hose. The redesigned gooseneck can be removed from the reel for easier hose attachment. An external drive spring allows for convenient access to the spring components and improved servicing of the reel. The roller bearing inside of the pillow block produces a smoother spool rotation and easier operation.
