New Hose Reel Design Launched by Holmatro

Holmatro launches a series of new CORE Technology hose reels, equipped with a foldable handle for hose winding. This handle folds out and locks in one step, so it’s easy to use. During storage it can be folded in again to save space in your rescue vehicle.
 
The new hose reels are available on all our SR 31/32 and SR 41/42 Spider Range pump models, including CORE hoses of 15 or 20 m / 50 or 65 inches. They also come separately, as single or double hose reels, with CORE hoses of the same length. These single and double hose reels are equipped with soft-grip carrying handles and a brake system that prevents accidental unwinding of the hose(s).
