All you need to know about storage reels

  • Written by: Shan Ge

Are you looking for a way to tame the forever tangled and difficult to use power leads, cables, ropes, extension cords and hoses? There is a simple solution for this - a storage reel. It will save you space, time and hassle. In addition, its enormous functionality will make you complete the intended tasks much faster, which will leave you more time to relax.

What is a storage reel?

Storage reel for power leads, cables, ropes and hoses is a mechanism for keeping them tidy and clean. The cord is stored inside the reel on a special barrel, thanks to which it does not get tangled and we have quick access to it. There are many different types of reels depending on the purpose of their use. They are multifunctional devices because they can store many types of cords: hoses, various types of wires, leads and cables. Thanks to this, storage reels are widely used not only in the household, but in many industries and areas where keeping all types of cables in order and cleanliness is very important, e.g. fuel delivery, construction, aviation, agriculture, food processing, maritime, military and many more.

Storage reels are truly useful gadgets that will help keep many equipment in perfect condition. They will facilitate washing cars, boats, providing water to campers and caravans, providing power supply and much more. Designs of storage reels vary depending on how the reel is going to be used. You are also able to find multi-reels that are suitable for storage of many types of extension cords like the ones from Flat Out International. They are Australian made, superior cords storage and protection, made of heavy-duty impact-resistant plastics. They can be Free standing or wall-mountable.

Storage reels for the home are lightweight to handle the less strenuous nature of home maintenance. Ones that are part of industrial operations are sturdier, durable, and heavy-duty with different designs and features. The availability of various variants and sizes allows for the perfect adjustment of the product to the individual needs of the user.

Storage reels - tangle free solution for your hoses, leads, cables, ropes and cords

Multi-reels are extremely easy to use. It takes the same amount of time to put up a lead onto the reels as it would to wind it around your elbow but when it comes to setting back up, you will really feel the difference. You may be a professional at winding your long lead, but it only takes one moment of lost concentration when getting it back out and you have a tangled mess and knots to undo. You do not really need such a stress. With storage multi-reels you just, anchor the lead at one end, walk away holding the multi-reel handle and allow it to unspool, unclick your other end from the reel, plug it in and it's ready to use. What is very important, storage reel increases power cables’ lifespan, as every time you twist a power lead during hand bundling, you risk some of the internal copper cracking. When enough of these copper threads break, your lead becomes unsafe and stops working. So, it is not only about the convenience, but also about the safety.  What’s important, multi-reels, like the ones from Flat Out International online store, are impact resistant. Once your lead is safely wound into the reel you don't have to worry it gets destroyed. You can compare it to the freedom you get when you put a case on your mobile phone. Remember that when choosing a right storage reel, you need to consider few essential factors like application and length of extension cord you need it for. For light usage, fiberglass, light metals, wood, and plastic reels can be used for long time. For industrial purposes the reel must be made of steel, stainless steel or aluminium. All the reels need to be corrosion resistant, durable, temperature and impact resistant.
