Reeling Drums
SC spring-operated cable reeling drums
The SC reeling drum range has robust, durable and weatherproof qualities, making them an ideal solution for indoor and outdoor environments. Manufactured from heavy gauge steel, the reel revolves on ball races, which is sealed for life for a completely maintenance-free product.
For over fifty years the springs have been in service to our clients. The SC range is of ‘clock spring’ or ‘spiral wound’ spring type and can be assembled in a series, parallel or in a single rotation, for a wide range of characteristics and performances.
Features
- Extensive range of applications
- Heavy-duty construction
- Long-life components
- Bespoke designs
SD spring-operated hose reeling drums
Constructed from heavy gauge steel, the SD hose range is ideal for heavy-duty use in maintenance shops, garage workshops or industrial units. The maximum strength of the steel, paired with a robust roller guide and stop catch for tension relief, ensures durability within busy environments.
Manufactured with minimum components, the hose reels require minimal maintenance, as the drum revolves around ball races, which are sealed for life. The SD range is highly versatile and ideal for heavy construction equipment to reduce expensive downtime.
Features
- Dispenses various fluids and gases for all areas of industry
- Hoses available
- Up to 1½” bore
- Reduces wear and tear
- Powder coat finish

Earth bonding reels
Earth bonding reels are designed for aircrafts and other refuelling applications where fuel transfer can generate static electricity build-up, and result in spark hazards.
Fixed to the chassis or frame of the refuelling tanker, the reel is self-retracting and carries forty metres of high-conductivity copper braided cables. A universal heavy-duty spring clamp completes the circuit to the aircraft or other vehicles.
The spring and stop catch mechanism allow the cable to be pulled and relaxed at any desired position; An extra pull is all that is required for cable retrieval.
Features
- Sealed spring and stop catch for dirt and water prevention
- Wide range of mounting positions
- 40m 1c 4mm² PVC sheathed braided copper cable
- Rubber-bump stop and heavy-duty spring clamp
- Total earth path resistance 0.25Ohm
- Reel mechanism tested to -40°C
- Standard cable suitable to -19°C
- Special cables available on request for lower temperatures
- Hand rewind available
