Industrial hose reels: improving safety and order in professional environments

Hose reels are systems designed for the controlled storage, deployment and retrieval of hoses in professional environments. Their main function is to keep the hose organised, protected and always ready for use, improving workplace safety and operational efficiency.

In industrial and marine operations, the use of hose reels reduces risks associated with hoses lying on the ground, prevents damage caused by dragging or being stepped on, and enables a more orderly and repeatable operation.

Industrial hose reel: when its use makes sense

An industrial hose reel is particularly suitable for installations where loading, unloading or service operations are carried out frequently and with considerable hose lengths.

Compared to manual storage or simple supports, the hose reel allows safer hose handling, reduces operator effort and shortens preparation and retrieval times after each operation.

Marine hose reels: safety and efficiency in port and onboard operations

Marine hose reels are specifically designed to operate in port and maritime environments, where operating conditions are especially demanding and safety is critical.

In operations such as bunkering, product loading and unloading or services to vessels, marine hose reels allow large-diameter and long hoses to be handled in a controlled manner, improving operator safety and protecting both the installation and the vessel itself.

Applications of marine hose reels

Marine hose reels are used in a wide range of professional operations:

• Bunkering and fuel supply operations.
• Loading and unloading of chemical products.
• Services to vessels and quay-side operations.
• Hose management on decks and in areas with limited space.

In all these cases, the hose reel contributes to a safer, more orderly and more efficient operation.

Custom automatic hose reels according to the hose

Gassó hose reels are conceived as custom-made solutions, adapted to the real characteristics of each hose and application. The design takes into account the diameter, length and weight of the hose, as well as the working environment.

In marine applications, hose reels can be sized to work with large-diameter hoses, ensuring an adequate bend radius and safe hose retrieval.

Drive and control: electric or hydraulic

Gassó industrial and marine hose reels can be equipped with different drive systems depending on the installation and the required level of operational demand.

Solutions are available with electric or hydraulic drive, enabling controlled and safe hose handling. Control systems allow precise operation, even during repetitive manoeuvres or in complex environments.

Components and accessories that make the difference

A marine hose reel can incorporate various components and accessories that enhance its functionality and safety:

• Telescopic pipes to facilitate hose guidance.
• Integration with breakaways for protection against accidental pulling.
• Compatibility with different types of couplings and connections.

These elements make it possible to adapt the hose reel to the process and increase overall system safety.

Materials and durability in demanding environments

Gassó hose reels are designed to operate in demanding environments, such as marine or outdoor industrial settings.

The selection of suitable materials ensures high durability and resistance to corrosion, intensive use and adverse environmental conditions.

Integration of the hose reel into the transfer system

The hose reel should not be considered an isolated element, but part of a complete transfer system that includes the hose, couplings, safety devices and supporting structures.

Proper integration of the hose reel within the system improves safety, efficiency and operational reliability.

How to choose the right hose reel for each operation

Selecting a hose reel should be based on a technical analysis of the application:

• Type of operation: industrial or marine.
• Hose diameter and length.
• Frequency of use and operating cycle.
• Required drive system.
• Type of couplings and integrated safety elements.

Specialised technical advice helps define the safest and most efficient solution.
