Most importantly, it can be retrofitted to any Hannay Reels regardless of spool width, all achievable without costly modifications.
The Hannay- Reel Tech Flat Winder™ technology has served a local Fire service, citing cost-effective solutions as the main criteria for selecting a Reel. Combining the robustness of Hannay Hose Reels and Reel Tech’s Flat Winder Technology, Fire service companies can now have more retrofitted options and benefits added to their reels with no complications.
