Features and benefits

The RoboReel Power Cord System saves users time and money by rewinding hoses and cords automatically with the touch of a button instead of winding by hand. Spring-loaded reels are unreliable, break often and have a dangerous whipping action at the end of the wind. RoboReel winds in fast with an electric motor and slows to a docking speed to prevent whipping action and damage and injury. Hose and cords last longer, as they are stored neatly inside the unit and are always ready to go the next time users need them. Power has three outlets with 50’ of 12-gauge custom cord that will not kink or corkscrew. Air has 40’ of 1/4” custom air hose that lays flat and will not coil. Portable models can be mounted to a wall or bench and even the back of a service truck for added versatility or used standing on its legs. Ceiling models can be mounted to a wall with our L-Bracket accessory if users don’t want it on the ceiling.
