Who makes the nicest electric vacuum hose reels?

[Bob Foster]

Besides that really nice one from Aerotech. Looking for a bigger electric reel. Mine isn't big enough.

Rokan has a 400 ft elec hose reel for about $1800 plus shipping. You can get it powdercoated too for an extra 60.

Why not just cut, expand, and weld it with either channel or angle iron? I think someone did that mod on here. I FINALLY got a used electric hose reel, how did I survive without it. :roll:

Able1 has a nice one! shiteatinggrin

My guy wants 400 bucks to modify my Rokan. It still might be the best way to go. Kind of want a really nice reel but don't have the room for a AeroTech one.

and you havent' done it yet? Serious Bob if he can do it for $400 then get r done.......It will cost you $400 or more just to have the Rokan shipped to you.

I think the mod is in making a electric hose reel,that is if i remember right. $400 seems a little steep BUT I could do that mod myself

Huh? $400 is cheap. If you can bend the steel for the pulleys plus motor and belt for less then I'll send you a pallets of reels for you to turn into electrics. There is a $1200 difference between a standard and electric and Rokan is the fairest price reel on the market.

Nick Nello's makes a all stainless steel electric hose reel. I think a 300 footer runs something like $699. Give him a call and ask him about them.

 

[Able 1]

Yeah, $400 is just parts if it's done right....

I think bob already has an electric hose reel? I'm not talking about making an electric hose reel, Just talking about expanding a current electric hose reel. Someone expanded a basic rokan hose reel AND made it electric also. Mine is the 250ft electric rokan and it could be expanded similarly to what was shown in that paticular thread. :roll:

No need for a bigger hose reel,, just use 1'' vacuum hose and you will be able put 900 ft on the reel you have .

I think John is right. While I have it down I will sand blast it and paint it the same color of the TM then clear coat it. I will also put some pedestals under the base to make it easier to hose the truck out. Those bases catch crap.

I will call Nick and see what the deal might be. Thanks for the input.
