Between the Titan and the small Coxreel used to be another Coxreel (250') which got fkt up, by my mistake. I do not like the Coxreels and like so much more the Titan reels. The left Titan is aluminium/stackable, the right one is stainless steel; both with super swivels.
I say Titans all the way!!!
P.S. It seems everything made in Florida is superior than the rest brands. (Titan, Whsiper Wash..)
That middle hose reel is the kind that came with my Bandit back in 2007 and it is holding up great! I don't think I would use it for pressure hose but with 225' of 1/2" Plyovic hose it is doing good.
I might try the one on the left, looks a lot stronger and talking to guys on the bbs's, seeing the rigs at the round tables, the stackable one on the left is used by a lot of guys and seems to hold up good.
If I can, I might hold out to try some of the RexReels when they come out later this year. With his attention to quality and knowledge of what works out in the field, I am sure that they will be great hose reels.
Dimitar, can you post some more pictures of this truck, it sure is a nice truck!
Hannay Reels are the best, i have started COX because they have changed them. We are giving them a try.

I am moving to Hannay reels as well on our rigs. The Hannay seems to have a great brake and locking mechanism unlike the Titan or Summit. The Summit brake is absolutely a joke and well worth the call to inform Summit the Crap Brake they are placing on their reels. I have two titan full frame reels (from Bob but not on his site) and like them, they have held up well, brake works well still, and the locking mechanism is good as well but they are tough to get mounted correct and if out of square a touch the lock won't work on them. Again, I would not pass up Hannay again. At a local pesticide shop we get the 18' reels for 250 out the door

I can tell why Titans are better than cox since I have used both. I have heard that Hanney are the best, but never seen them in real. I know most of them are motorized, but this would not be comparable.
Can you please specify what exactly makes them better than Titans (manual ones)?
Thanks!

Heavier gauge metal. Larger brake handle. Better backlash tensioner. Full drum. Welded corners as opposed to bolted. I bought two Titans that lasted less than two years. I have 14 Hannay reels ranging from 11 years old to 1 year old. Never had any problems. Hannay reels are on every fire engine in North America, from booster reels to extension cord reels. All of mine are hand crank, no electrics.
Interesting, you and I have something in common. We like good stuff .
William, how much does a Hannay run?

I was ready to buy that one until I calculated the freight. Holy crap. They wanted $375 to deliver to my shop. That's a big reel!

I pay $285. Make sure you spec it without the powder coating and get the double wall drum.

I found one like that but it had a 1.5" hose on it and it was basically a new reel and hose but had been sitting for a while.......but it is electric, just needs the push button, solenoid and circuit breaker for it to be ready to use.
I was thinking of putting this on the big bucket truck along with a pressure washer and tank, looks like it would hold about 500' of 3/8" pressure hose or more!
It is still there but I really have no use for it, if I started washing parking garages then I would get it.
Scott show us those COX? LOL I'll bet he doesn't have any
