Recoila Reels

Recoila Hose Reel Calculator is a purpose-built tool for anyone specifying, supplying or installing hose reels — manual or powered. Instead of working from printed capacity charts or manual calculations, the app lets you work directly with the numbers that matter: hose outside diameter, hose length, drum diameter, flange diameter and drum width. From these it calculates hose capacity, reel dimensions and remaining drum space, so you can confirm a reel is fit for purpose before you order or install it. For powered reels, the motor torque calculator determines the drive torque required to rewind the hose, accounting for hose weight and the change in effective radius between a full and an empty drum. This lets you size a hydraulic, pneumatic or electric drive correctly the first time — avoiding both an undersized motor that stalls under load and an oversized one that adds unnecessary cost. Key features: Calculate how much hose a given reel will hold Determine the reel size required for a specified hose length Check spare capacity on existing reels before extending a hose run Motor torque calculator for powered reel applications Full-drum and empty-drum torque figures for correct drive selection Work in metric or imperial units Fast, offline calculations — no signal required on site Clean, straightforward interface designed for use in the field Ideal for mechanical and hydraulic engineers, fluid transfer specialists, fire and safety installers, workshop fitters, distributors and maintenance teams. Accurate specification, first time.
