Coxreels Brawny reel upgrade

The Brawny reel upgrade from Coxreels is available for any hand crank and motorized 1125 Series hose reel. The upgrade features an option that strengthens the discs and drum, preventing potential damage under increased pressure. Reels are made from 10-gauge steel plates welded into each disc to keep them from bowing. The center drum is thickened and upgraded from standard 16-gauge to 14-gauge steel to prevent deformation and eventual crushing of the drum, which can be caused by hose pressure. 800/269-7335; www.coxreels.com.
