INDUSTRY INNOVATIONS: Hannay Low-Height Compact Reel

Hannay Reels offers the ELF Series reel for compact spaces on rescue vehicles where height requirements must be met.

The reel takes up 70 percent less space than traditional reels while maintaining the same amount of hose or cable, the company said. It is suitable for utility and breathing air hose in rescue applications.

Its size does not sacrifice hose or cable life despite a smaller drum diameter. Its gear motor rewind produces even reverse speeds, eliminating the need for speed-regulating devices.

The reel is compatible with all three rescue reel types – air, twin hydraulic and cord.
