A hose reel is at its most practical when it is fitted to suit the specific installation situation. In addition to choosing the right reel, the way it is mounted is therefore key to ensuring ergonomic hose routing, unobstructed walkways and a well-organised workspace.

Depending on the layout of the room, various mounting options are available. These include direct wall mounting, wall and ceiling brackets, angle brackets and swivelling designs. Wall-mounted swivel brackets, for example, allow for flexible adjustment to different working directions and can be swivelled closer to the wall when not in use. Lockable brackets also support fixed, recurring working positions.

Even in special structural conditions, such as on lightweight partition walls, a stable and secure mounting can be achieved using suitable backing plates. This allows the hose reel to be integrated effectively into existing workflows: the hose is accessible where it is needed and is stored as compactly as possible when not in use.
