Air Hose Reels
Air hose reels are an essential accessory for any workshop, garage, or industrial setting where pneumatic tools are used. Designed to keep hoses tidy, reduce trip hazards, and extend the life of your equipment, a hose reel ensures that your airline is always ready to use. Whether you need a retractable air hose reel, a wall-mounted unit, or a portable option, these products combine convenience with safety.
At Pipestock, we supply air hose reels from two leading manufacturers – Prevost and PCL. Both brands are trusted worldwide for their high-quality pneumatic equipment. With options ranging from compact designs to heavy-duty 30m air hose reels, there’s a solution for every workspace.
Why use an Air Hose Reel?
-
Organisation & Safety – Prevent tangled hoses and reduce trip hazards.
-
Durability – Protects hoses from kinks and unnecessary wear.
-
Efficiency – A reel keeps the hose within easy reach and retracts neatly after use.
-
Space Saving – Wall or ceiling-mounted reels free up valuable floor space.
A retractable air hose and reel is particularly popular, as the spring mechanism automatically rewinds the hose after use. This saves time and makes for a cleaner, safer working environment.
Common Questions about Air Hose Reels
Can you use an air hose reel for water?
Air hose reels are specifically designed for compressed air and pneumatic tools. We do not recommend attempting to use them for water.
How does an air hose reel work?
Most reels use a spring-loaded mechanism that retracts the hose after use, while others may be manually wound. They are usually mounted on a wall, ceiling, or bench for easy access.
How do you mount an air hose reel?
Air hose reels can be wall or ceiling mounted. Simply secure the bracket provided, attach the reel, and connect it to your air supply. Always follow the manufacturer’s installation guide for safe use.
How do you connect an air compressor to a hose reel?
The reel can connect directly to your air compressor outlet. The built-in hose then provides a safe, flexible airline to power your tools. Many reels come supplied with a ready-fitted hose, making setup quick and easy. They can also be mounted within an air ring main system.
