Coxreels is expanding its Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) product lineup with a series of purpose-built hose reels designed for technicians who need reliable, contamination-free DEF dispensing in the shop or on mobile service trucks.
Coxreels has manufactured industrial-grade hose, cord, and cable reels since 1923, supplying equipment for applications across maintenance, service, industrial, and mobile environments. The company designs and builds all products in the United States and emphasizes durability, innovation, and long-term support for professional users.
Built on the company’s established SH and T Series platforms, the DEF reels use all‑steel construction and components engineered specifically for the chemical properties of DEF.
Each reel is equipped with a stainless steel external full-flow swivel and chemical-resistant Viton seals—a combination the company says provides a safe, durable, and low-maintenance fluid path.
According to Coxreels, “these reels are equipped with a stainless steel external full-flow swivel and chemical-resistant Viton seals to provide a safe, reliable DEF dispensing solution available with a factory-installed, high-quality Goodyear DEF hose.”
The swivel is positioned for easy access, allowing technicians to service seals or install DEF hoses without disassembling the reel.
The DEF line is available in two structural configurations: the heavy-duty single‑pedestal SH Series and the supreme‑duty dual‑pedestal T Series. Both versions support up to 75 feet of ¾‑inch hose I.D., giving service truck upfitters and shop managers flexibility in how they route and mount DEF dispensing equipment. Each reel incorporates the company’s Super Hub dual‑axle support system, designed to reduce vibration and increase stability during operation—a benefit for mobile service trucks that see constant movement and uneven terrain.
Coxreels also offers the DEF reels with either standard spring retraction or its EZ‑Coil controlled retraction system. The EZ‑Coil option slows the rewind speed by up to 80 percent compared to conventional spring-driven reels, helping reduce whip hazards and improving operator safety in tight service bays or on crowded job sites.
The company noted that the DEF series uses the same high-quality components and finishes found across its broader product line: “This DEF reel line has all the durable high-quality components and superior finishes found in every Coxreels product.”
For technicians and fleet operators working with modern SCR-equipped diesel equipment, the reels offer a purpose-built solution that protects DEF purity while standing up to the demands of daily service work.
