Tecpro Spring Retractable Hose Reels with Safety Brake

Click2Contact

Spring retractable hose reels have improved the health and safety of Australian workers across a wide range of industries by reducing the incidence of trips and falls.

However, unless carefully controlled by the user, there is a tendency for these hoses to retract at speed. The problem arises if the operator drops or releases the hose when it’s under tension. In this situation, there is a chance the retracting hose and heavy-duty hose gun might whip back — potentially injuring a worker or damaging equipment.

Tecpro Australia has released a Safety Brake system to slow down the speed of hose reel retraction. The brake can be used in most applications and has earned FDA approval for use in the food industry.

The safety brake uses a compact, adjustable pawl locking mechanism that is attached to spring retractable hose reels.
