Vital Tools for Fire and Rescue Industries from Hannay Reels

Hannay Reels will exhibit a variety of rescue hose and cable reels specifically designed for firefighting applications in booth #436 at the 2012 Lancaster County Firemen’s Association Expo, May 18-20 in Harrisburg, P.A.
 
Visitors to the booth may enter to win a compact portable cable reel including 100 feet of 14/3 cable. Equipped with a storage drum extension, this lightweight, durable reel easily manages long lengths of cable. The versatile C16-10-11-DE also features an adjustable cam-lock drag device to brake the reel, as well as a crank handle permanently attached to the disc.
 
Hannay Reels will also showcase a variety of Firefighting and Rescue reels designed to maximize vehicle space limitations and provide quick deployment when needed most. The rugged Superbooster electric rewind hose reel (SBEPF28-25-26 RT) allows instant water flow with a direct hook-up and includes a switch and solenoid for hose unwinding from the top right portion of the reel. It is constructed with polished aluminum and weighs 30 percent less than a standard booster reel.
 
The new compact reel (ELFCR 1620-14-16 RT) is designed with a low height to handle on-site live electric cable and includes a chain and sprocket drive powered by an electric gear motor. Hannay’s Hydraulic Rescue reel (ESF 2018-14-16 RT H10.5M) manages 100 feet of 1/4-inch I.D. dual hydraulic hose for power rescue tools and offers optimized space requirements when depth should be minimized.
