Umbilical pipe reelers

[Manney]

In the market for a new 1000m reeler.

Any recommendations on what to go for?

Galvanized rather than painted?

Which drive is best chain or gear?

Drop out or fixed?

Drop out is very handy, would recommend that. Also galvanized, slurry's too hard on paint.

Slurryquip reeler with the tilting foot pedal gets a great review.

Excuse the ropey video, but shows it working -

Pretty pleased with the tramspread we have, bought second hand, have 3 bobbins now with 1 frame.
Definable go 5"+.
Bought some 5" pipe off Mastek earlier this year, its there own brand seemed good quality. @£15/m Inc couplers.
Coupler can add near £1/m

WOX - nothing else!

Which pipe, nitrile or tpu? Seems reasonably priced for 5”.

I was given that price for rubber

Do Wox have a drop out bobbin reeler?

I've written this before but do not buy a trailed reeler, not ever. Anyone who has ever used one very quickly comes to realise they have made some very bad life choices that led to them having to use one. Don't ask me how I know this. Mounted on A frame etc, far far easier life.

What a good idea and so simple.

We’ve got a trailed slurrykat 1000m reeler and find it no problem at all for our own use. Find it handy to that we can use a small tractor for rolling in and out
