Pressure Washer Hose Reels

A reliable pressure washer hose reel is a very valuable accessory that keeps hoses organized and protected from damage. In the most basic sense, hose reels for pressure washing consist of a frame holding a cylindrical drum, also called a spindle or spool. Simply reel out to use your pressure washing hose, then reel in the hose when the job is complete. Pressure washing hose reels can be mounted on a vehicle or reel cart for easy transportation, or placed in a shop in a convenient spot where regular washing occurs. Our reel options are perfect for professionals looking for a heavy-duty pressure washer hose reel that will stand up to the demands of constant, hard use. Most of them are built with durable steel or aluminum that lasts for many years, even under frequent use. Don't forget, we carry high-quality pressure washer hose if you need to replace yours!

Tips for Choosing a Hose Reel for a Pressure Washer

There are a few important things to consider when choosing a reel. Make sure to check the specifications and product information for the reels you’re thinking about buying.

Manual Hand Crank vs Electric Motor Crank

Reels are offered with both manual crank and motor crank, usually powered by electric. If you want to go on the less expensive side, and don’t mind the extra physical effort required to reel hose in and out, a hand crank reel is sufficient. Plus, you won’t ever have to be concerned with repairing or replacing a motor. On the other hand, an electric crank reel makes it much easier and faster to deal with pulling and rewinding hose. If speed is an issue, or you (or your employees) don’t want to deal with the fatigue that comes with hand reeling, a motor-equipped reel might be worth the extra investment.

Reel Capacity

You'll also want to consider the capacity of pressure washing hose reels. Hose capacity is typically listed in product information, and generally the capacity increases or decreases with the width of the drum. Make sure to pay attention to the capacity in relation to the diameter of your hose. For example, the same reel might fit 400' of 3/8" hose, while only fitting 300' of 1/2" hose.

Pressure Rating and Port Sizes

Of course, there are a lot of the standard considerations when buying items for a high-pressure system. You'll want to note the pressure rating when selecting a reel. Make sure that the PSI of your pressure washer does not exceed the rating of the reel. Check the inlet and outlet port sizes meet what you need. If they don't, you can buy the proper fittings to adapt your hose to the reel.
