Coxreels has unveiled a new mounting solution designed to improve flexibility and functionality for hose and vacuum reels in service truck applications.
The SMK-702 Series swivel brackets are the latest addition to the company’s accessory lineup, offering operators a practical upgrade for better hose management.
The SMK-702 brackets allow 360-degree rotation and feature multiple locking positions controlled by an ergonomic pin lock. This design enables users to point the reel toward the work area, reducing strain and improving hose payout and rewind. When left unlocked, the bracket swivels and tracks with the direction of hose movement, minimizing tangles and wear.
One standout feature of the SMK-702 Series is its offset design, which moves the front of the reel forward. This adjustment ensures that when the bracket is unlocked, the reel naturally swivels and tracks with the direction of hose payout. By reducing resistance and improving alignment, the offset design helps minimize hose wear and makes payout and rewind smoother and more efficient.
Built in the US from heavy-gauge steel and finished with a gloss-black powder coat, the brackets are engineered for long-term durability. A full-length vertical bearing combined with a stability thrust bearing ensures smooth, consistent rotation under load.
Two sizes are available: the SMK-702-8 for 8-inch drum reels and the SMK-702-12.5 for 12.5-inch drums, including select vacuum reel models. This versatility makes the brackets suitable for a wide range of reel configurations commonly found on service trucks.
The SMK-702-12.5 follows the same logic for 12.5” wide drum reels like the 112-3-150, 117-3-400, 112-4-75, 117-4-225, and 117-5-100, but will also work with all of the 100 VACUUM SERIES V-112-730, V-117-835, and V-117-850 even though the drum width is actually 13.5 on some of those reels.
Coxreels continues its commitment to providing customers with innovative solutions that enhance productivity and ergonomics in the field.
