COXREELS® Safety Series reels featuring the patented EZ-Coil Safety Rewind System, engineered and developed exclusively by COXREELS, are the only choice for safe spring driven hose, cord, and cable reel operation in the workplace. EZ-Coil works uni-directionally without any increase to the amount of resistance when pulling out the hose, cord, or cable. But, when engaged upon recoil, it controls the aggressive spring motor energy resulting in a reel that retracts at a safe and steady pace!
A clean hose, free of metal particles, rubber dust and residual contaminants, can help you operate at maximum efficiency, reduce downtime, and maintain industry standards for hydraulic fluid cleanliness. In this video, learn how to use a hose cleaning kit to maximize the service life & working efficiency of hose assemblies.
