Liberty Garden 703-S2 Industrial Hose Reel Cart
The Liberty Garden 703-S2 is positioned as the industrial workhorse for stall and wash bay use thanks to a reinforced steel frame, large pneumatic wheels and high hose capacity that make it easy to move on wet concrete and resist shop wear. It outpaces the lighter consumer carts in durability and serviceability, meaning a higher upfront cost but lower lifecycle expense compared with plastic auto-rewind options like the Suncast. For operators who need a heavy-duty, repairable solution that minimizes downtime in commercial wash bays, its build quality is the primary advantage over the rest of the list.

Eley Portable Garden Hose Reel Cart
The Eley portable cart is a compact, budget-friendly option that prioritizes maneuverability and affordable ownership for small stalls and lighter wash-bay duties. It trades off some of the industrial robustness of the Liberty Garden and Coxreels units for lower purchase price and easier handling, making it an economical choice where heavy-duty capacity and corrosion resistance are less critical. Compared with the Suncast auto-reel it offers better portability and with lower cost than Coxreels it delivers good value for moderate-frequency use.

Suncast RSW125D Aquawinder Auto Rewind Hose Reel
The Suncast Aquawinder is optimized for convenience: a lightweight, auto-rewind plastic reel that eliminates manual re-coiling and reduces tangles in light- to medium-duty wash bay applications.
