ReelCraft 5650 OLP Spring Retractable Hose Reel
The ReelCraft 5650 OLP is the market-leader spring-retractable option for swivel wall systems thanks to its smooth, controlled rewind and oil- and solvent-resistant components built for industrial environments. Relative to the manual Coxreels unit it delivers faster, automatic stowage to reduce operator handling time, and although it commands a premium price, that cost is offset by time savings and reduced hose wear in high-use commercial settings.
