Garden hoses are common to most households and businesses. While garden hoses are useful, they can pose as many safety hazards as they offer benefits. Unwound hoses lying on the floor are a tripping hazard. Heavy, wet hoses require strenuous activity to rewind onto a reel or frame and will put a tremendous strain on your back. They can also whip uncontrollably when under pressure if the fittings become dislodged. Retractable wall mounted garden hose reels solve all these problems, taking your liability and turning it into an organized, convenient tool. With decades of manufacturing expertise in hardware, plastic and die casting, YONGYE Metal Industrial Co., Ltd. actually breaks down how these retractable reels truly offer practical solution for users.
Eliminating Trip and Fall Hazards
Trip and fall incidents rank as some of the most prevalent accidents in garages, workshops, yards and other commercial properties. A loosely wound hose or, worse, one that has been pulled across an entrance, is the perfect combination for snagging one's foot and leading to anything from minor sprains, fractures to severe spinal injuries. Retractable wall mounted reels, when not in use, neatly coil their hoses against the wall out of the way of foot traffic. Automatic retraction eliminates the risk that casual users might create, as well as the hazards that families with small children or elderly visitors could face. Our advantage in spring engineering gives these hoses the optimum retraction force to safely pull the hose into its mounted holder every time it is used.
Preventing Manual Lifting and Back Strain
Lifting and coiling a long, water-filled garden hose, some hoses run up to 75 to 100 feet, puts enormous strain on the lower back, shoulders, and arms. With regular use, this can actually lead to cumulative wear and musculoskeletal injuries, especially for those in landscaping or maintenance professions. These reels eliminate the need for this process entirely, providing the user with a mild pull that is enough to automatically retract the hose. Their position on the wall also means the user does not need to stoop over, eliminating bending from that process as well. This benefit is a significant one for buyers looking to protect their workers or an aging populace.
Reducing Hose Whip and Kicking Hazards
A sudden shutting off of water flow or detaching of a hose while it is still under pressure can result in the hose whipping uncontrollably, creating potential hazards like striking someone with the end of the hose, damaging property or dislodging something heavy. Kinked hoses, when under pressure, will snap straight under extreme force. Retractable wall mounted garden hose reels eliminate these hazards by securely anchoring the supply side of the hose against the wall and preventing its movement during a sudden pressure change. It also aids in preventing hose kinking, which takes out the force behind a whipping hose. This is an especially important feature in commercial applications such as auto detailing or heavy industrial cleaning where hoses are under constant pressure. Our certifications which include CE, SGS, CNAS and ROHS can give you confidence that our reels meet even the highest safety standards for fluid control.
Keeping Hoses Away from Sharp and Hot Surfaces
A garden hose lying on the garage floor can easily be run over by a car, pulled over sharp corners or through oil, chemicals and heat from a car's engine block. These conditions can cause a hose jacket to tear and potentially split and burst while under pressure. A retractable wall mounted reel will keep the hose safely out of the way of such hazards, prolonging the life of the hose and preventing potential dangers to users.
Securing the Work Area for Children and Pets
Unattended garden hose is an entanglement hazard for both children and pets. On hot days, the water inside a hose lying in the sun could be scalding hot enough to burn an innocent user, and the fitting at the nozzle end could be easily swallowed by an animal or toddler. This simple piece of equipment will keep the hose safely coiled and out of the way of children and pets while not in use, ensuring peace of mind for you. A retractable wall mounted hose reel positioned correctly is a great solution.
Summary
A retractable wall mounted garden hose reel keeps you and your surroundings safe in numerous ways. It removes tripping hazards from the floor, prevents back strain from winding, eliminates hose whipping hazards, keeps your hose out of harm's way from sharp and hot surfaces and, most importantly, keeps your children and pets safe. This piece of equipment is a valuable investment for residential, commercial and industrial users alike. YONGYE Metal Industrial Co., Ltd. manufactures its retractable wall mounted garden hose reels with the utmost consideration for safety in hardware, plastic and die casting, even developing its own mold for the most custom results with an array of certifications.
