CMW Products Releases New Mounting Option

CMW Products, a manufacturer of compact rescue reels, has introduced a new mounting option for their complete line of reels.

The new configuration comes with breakers, buttons, and rewind guide installed. It can be easily mounted in a front bumper or overhead inside a compartment placing the control buttons within easy access for rewind. The angled front guide support allows for clearance between lid and hoses when used in a front bumper application. Installation time is reduced because the reel is prewired and requires no relays or large wire for operation.

Just like the space-saving concept of their Vegas-style reel which allows mounting of one dual reel in a transverse compartment taking one hose out each side, this new mounting option is in keeping with the company’s philosophy using customer feedback and incorporating it into their product design.        

“Because of budget constraints, everyone is trying to get more equipment on their truck, and this is where our compact, lightweight design works,” says Director of Sales, Lisa Rogers.

Custom Machine Works (CMW Products) was formed in 1988. All design, programming, and manufacturing are done by their in-house staff.
