At The Utility Expo 2025, Hannay Reels spotlighted three standout models from its spring rewind reel lineup, each engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial, electrical, and welding environments.
Known for their durability and precision, Hannay’s reels are built to enhance safety, efficiency, and longevity in the field.
The N700, NSCR700, and N400 series reels each bring unique strengths to the table, tailored to specific applications ranging from lubrication and washdown to live electric cable handling and gas welding.
N700 Spring Rewind Reel: Compact Power for Industrial Fluids
The N700 Series is Hannay’s answer to the need for compact, high-performance hose reels in tight spaces.
Designed with a narrow frame and compact mounting base, the N700 is ideal for lubrication, air, water, steam, and high-pressure applications. It supports hose sizes from ¼” to ½” I.D. and offers capacities ranging from 25 to 100 feet, depending on the model.
Key features include:
- Non-sparking ratchet assembly for safe operation in volatile environments;
- Declutching the arbor to prevent damage from reverse winding;
- Pressure ratings up to 3,000 psi standard, with options available up to 10,000 psi;
- Temperature tolerance from -40°F to +250°F, with optional configurations for extreme conditions;
- 4-way roller assembly** for smooth hose guidance and retraction.
The N700’s versatility makes it a go-to solution for general industrial use, especially where space constraints and high performance intersect. Optional constant tension and stainless steel components are available for specialized needs.
NSCR700 Spring Rewind Reel: Built for Live Electric Cable
For operations requiring live electric cable management, the NSCR700 Series offers a robust and safe solution. This reel is engineered to handle 14/3 to 8/3 AWG cable sizes, with capacities ranging from 25 to 120 feet. It’s ideal for powering lights, tools, and machinery in industrial, construction, mining, and marine environments.
Standout features include:
- Heavy-duty spring motor for reliable cable retraction;
- Non-sparking ratchet and declutching arbor for enhanced safety;
- 3-conductor, 45 amp, 600 volt collector assembly with #8 gauge wiring;
- Double copper graphite brushes per circuit with copper alloy rings for superior conductivity;
- Optional configurations for additional conductors or up to 300 amps;
- Silver collector option for corrosion resistance.
The NSCR700 also includes a 4-way roller assembly and requires a cable stop to prevent damage and allow for adjustable cable length. For vertical lift or crane installations, Hannay recommends consulting the factory to ensure proper spring specifications.
N400 Spring Rewind Gas Welding Reel: Safety and Strength for Oxy-Fuel Applications
The N400 Series is purpose-built for gas welding applications, including oxy-acetylene setups. Constructed from heavy-gauge steel, this reel is designed to handle twin welding hoses from ¼” to ⅜” I.D., with lengths up to 100 feet.
Core features include:
- Heavy-duty spring motor for consistent rewind performance;
- Non-sparking ratchet assembly and declutching arbor to prevent reverse winding damage;
- Standard inlets with 90° ball bearing swivel joints and ½” female NPT threads;
- Standard outlets with 9/16”-18 male threads—right-hand for oxygen, left-hand for fuel gas;
- Pressure rating up to 300 psi and temperature range from -40°F to +250°F;
- 4-way roller assembly with customizable roller positions (SR, VR, TR) depending on installation needs.
A hose stop is required to prevent spring unwinding, and the type of gas used must be specified when ordering. The N400’s rugged design and safety features make it a reliable choice for welding professionals working in demanding environments.
Hannay Reels continues to set the standard in hose and cable management with its latest spring rewind models.
Whether you're dealing with high-pressure fluids, live electrical cable, or gas welding operations, the N700, NSCR700, and N400 series offer tailored solutions that prioritize safety, durability, and ease of use. With customizable options and proven engineering, these reels are built to perform in the toughest conditions.
