The company will feature a variety of reels for the firefighting and rescue industries at booth number 2033.

Hannay Reels has set the standard of quality and reliability for hose reels in the firefighting industry.

The “Super Booster” reel weighs up to 30 percent less than a standard booster reel due to its aluminum construction. Stainless steel construction is also available.

It features a 45 amp 3-conductor 600 volt collector assembly with No. 8 gauge wiring from the collector ring to the junction box. The standard collector assembly has copper graphite brushes with copper alloy rings for each circuit.

Available in manual or power rewind models, the FL & FH 1500 Series hose reel is ideal for use with ¼-inch to ½-inch breathing air hose. It is designed for firefighting and rescue operations, including backpack recharging and direct-to-personnel air. All internal components are made of stainless steel, and are degreased and cleaned to promote quality-breathing air.
