Safety should be the first and foremost consideration in any business.
Slips, trips and falls constitute the majority of general industry accidents, which cause 15% of all accidental deaths, Coxreels said.
And that’s why the company recently added High-Visibility Safety Hose Reels to its safety line.
“Power up your safety with high-visibility hose by Coxreels. When not in use, your hose and cable is safely retracted on your Coxreels reel, but when in use the hose can become a hazard,” the company claimed. “With the addition of high-visibility hose to your hose reel, awareness and visibility are increased to create the safest environment possible.”
Featured on P, SH and T series, Hi-Vis hose is hybrid bright yellow hose with a white glossy stripe available in ⅜- and ½-inch sizes. Hybrid hoses (PVC + rubber blend) offer similar performance to rubber with the weight of PVC, combining positive features of both hose types, Coxreels maintained. They have increased hose flexibility and better low temperature behavior while maintaining strength and toughness.
With enhanced kink resistance and reduced coil memory, they lay flat for a reduced trip hazard potential. Hybrid hoses also feature a less sticky jacket surface than PVC for better stacking performance and an improved non-marring quality, the company said. With a working pressure of 300 psi, the hose is ideal for applications involving air and water.
Adding EZ-Coil controlled retraction and Hi-Vis hose to a Coxreels reel helps establish a maximum-safety environment in the workplace.
“As the industry leader in hose, cord and cable reels, Coxreels is making a commitment to provide our customers with the ultimate and most complete, diverse line of reels and reeling accessories,” the company concluded.
