Coxreels 1125-4-325-C Bevel Geared Crank Hose Reel | 1125 Series | 1/2" Hose Diameter | 325' Hose Length | 3000 Max PSI | Less Hose

At 325 feet of 1/2-inch hose, the bevel geared crank does more than add convenience; it makes manual retraction of the maximum-capacity 1125 Series drum practical for a single operator. The Coxreels 1125-4-325-C uses a front bevel geared crank (a mechanism where angled gears change the rotation axis and provide a gear ratio that multiplies the operator's input force into drum torque, distributing the effort of winding back 325 feet of hose across more handle rotations at reduced force per turn) to give remote locations, mobile installations, and facilities without available power supply access to the full 325-foot reach of the largest 1125 Series drum at 3,000 PSI working pressure, with no shop air, electrical circuit, or hydraulic connection required at the reel. A removable crank handle stores cleanly when the hose is deployed, and the long-handled locking pin secures the drum solidly during transport or fixed-extension use. The machined solid brass 90° NPT swivel, permanently lubricated pillow block bearings, CNC-spun ribbed discs, and all-welded 12-gauge steel A-frame bring full 1125 Series production construction to the largest manual-crank drum configuration in the series for the installations where maximum reach and power independence both matter.

Features

• Front bevel geared crank with removable smooth round handle gear ratio multiplies operator input force into drum torque, making retraction of the 325-foot maximum-capacity drum practical by hand without external power
• Removable crank handle stores cleanly when hose is deployed and prevents accidental drum engagement during operation
• Long-handled locking pin locks and secures the drum from rotation during storage, transport, and fixed-extension use
• Machined solid brass 90° full-flow NPT swivel inlet standard on 1/2" and 3/4" 1125 Series models; no need to remove the reel from its mount for seal maintenance or hose installation
• Exclusive low-profile outlet riser and open drum slot design provides a non-crimping, flat smooth hose wrap across all 325 feet of drum capacity
• Heavy-duty CNC robotically spun and ribbed discs with rolled edges for greater strength, durability, hose protection, and operator safety
• Sturdy one-piece, all CNC robotically welded 12-gauge steel A-frame base not bolted for superior reel structure; mounting pattern in base for wall, ceiling, floor, or vehicle-body installation
• Permanently lubricated, self-aligning pillow block bearings for trouble-free, smooth drum rotation over extended service life
• Adjustable tension brake prevents free-wheeling during hose deployment; long-lasting chip-resistant, rust-inhibiting CPC powder coat finish; 2-year manufacturer's limited warranty

Applications

• Remote & off-grid installations field locations, rural facilities, and job sites without available shop air or electrical supply where 325 feet of hose reach is needed from a single fixed or vehicle-mounted reel station
• Large agricultural facilities barns, equipment sheds, and irrigation stations where the structure width requires maximum hose reach and no power infrastructure is available or practical at the reel mounting point
• Mobile service trailers & portable reel stations service trailers and portable units that travel to job sites without guaranteed power access, where 325 feet of hose capacity provides flexibility across a wide range of application distances
• Lower-cycle industrial & plant installations fixed wall or ceiling stations in facilities where retraction frequency is low enough that manual crank operation is practical, the power supply to the reel mount point is impractical to run, and 325 feet of reach is required to cover the full work area
• Construction & field service operations job site trailers and temporary field installations where the absence of reliable power at the reel, combined with the need for maximum hose reach, makes the bevel geared crank the most reliable and self-sufficient retraction option

FAQs

Q: Is it practical to hand-crank 325 feet of hose back onto this drum?
A: The bevel geared crank is specifically what makes it practical. Without gearing, winding back 325 feet of 1/2-inch hose by direct crank would require sustained force against the full drum weight fatiguing and slow for most operators. The bevel gear's mechanical advantage reduces the force required per handle rotation by trading force for more rotations, distributing the retraction work across a longer but lighter cranking effort. The retraction will still take more time and effort than a motorized variant, but it is manageable by a single operator in a way that a direct shaft crank at this drum size would not be. For installations where the reel retracts frequently throughout the shift, a motorized variant (-A or -AB) is the more practical choice.

Q: Why choose the -C manual crank over the -A or -AB air motor at 325-foot capacity?
A: The primary reason is power independence. The -A and -AB require a separate small-diameter shop air supply line to the retraction motor if that supply is unavailable at the mounting point, a motorized variant is impractical. The -C requires nothing except the operator. Secondary reasons include simplicity (no motor to service or repair), cost (manual cranks add minimal cost over the base reel), and suitability for low-cycle applications where the time and effort of manual retraction per use is acceptable. For high-cycle production use, the motorized variants are the better choice at this drum size.

Q: Why would someone choose the 325-foot -C over the 100-foot -C?
A: The reach requirement drives the drum choice if the installation requires 325 feet of hose from a single fixed point, only the 325-foot drum covers it. The 100-foot -C is physically more compact (approximately 19.5 inches wide versus 31.5 inches wide) and easier to crank back by hand given its shorter hose load, making it the preferred choice where 100 feet of reach is sufficient. The 325-foot -C is the right choice when the distance to the work point genuinely requires it and no power source is available for a motorized variant.

Q: Does the reel come with hose included?
A: No the 1125-4-325-C ships less hose. The drum accepts 1/2" ID / 7/8" OD hose up to 325 feet. Select hose rated for your working pressure and media (air, water, oil, or other compatible fluids at up to 3,000 PSI) and install it on the drum before use. At 325 feet, hose weight adds substantially to the loaded reel weight factor this into the mounting structure load calculation, and note that fully loaded hose weight increases the cranking effort compared to a partially loaded drum.

Q: Can the crank handle be removed while the hose is under pressure?
A: The handle is designed to be removable for deployment convenience, but should not be removed while the hose carries pressurized fluid. Always depressurize the hose line before removing the crank handle.
