Why Choose Macnaught Double Pedestal Hose Reels?

Double pedestal construction is particularly relevant where a reel needs robust support through demanding workshop or industrial use.

The design supports the reel assembly across both sides rather than relying on a single pedestal arrangement.

That makes the category particularly suited to larger hose configurations plus demanding fluid-handling installations.

► Twin-pedestal support – provides a robust reel structure for demanding applications
► Multiple fluid options – configurations cover grease, oil, air, water & diesel
► Large hose capacities – selected models support larger-bore hose requirements
► Long-reach options – multiple configurations extend to 20m
► High-flow capability – larger hose diameters support applications where fluid or airflow demand matters
► Workshop hose management – keeps compatible hoses stored around a dedicated reel
System
► Bare reel options – selected models allow application-specific hose configurations
► Diesel dispensing options – selected reels are supplied with compatible automatic nozzles
► Trade-focused construction – designed around professional workshop plus industrial fluid handling

The advantage isn't simply having a larger reel.

A correctly selected double pedestal system can provide the hose capacity, structural support & fluid compatibility required for a specific service area.

For broader workshop equipment requirements, Automotive & Mechanical provides a relevant cross-sell into professional servicing equipment.

Common Applications

Macnaught Double Pedestal hose reels suit environments where hoses need to remain accessible while being managed away from floors, machinery & active work areas.

Common applications include:

► Automotive workshops
► Truck workshops
► Fleet maintenance facilities
► Heavy-vehicle servicing
► Agricultural workshops
► Earthmoving maintenance
► Mining workshops
► Quarry maintenance
► Manufacturing plants
► Industrial maintenance facilities
► Service bays
► Machinery workshops
► Compressed-air distribution
► Water delivery
► Oil dispensing
► Grease delivery
► Diesel refuelling
► Mobile-equipment servicing
► High-flow fluid transfer
► Preventative-maintenance stations

The fluid being transferred should drive the reel choice.

An oil reel shouldn't be selected simply because its hose dimensions resemble an air/water reel.

Hose construction, reel configuration, connections & dispensing equipment all need to suit the actual medium.

For teams operating around heavy machinery, Earthmoving & Excavation Equipment provides another relevant cross-sell.

Product Selection Guide

Choosing a Macnaught Double Pedestal reel should begin with the fluid application.

1. Identify the medium

Start by confirming what will pass through the hose.

Macnaught's current twin-pedestal range covers applications including:

► Grease
► Oil
► Compressed air
► Water
► Diesel

Don't select a reel solely according to hose length.

The complete reel plus hose assembly needs to suit the medium.

2. Choose the hose diameter

Hose diameter influences flow capacity plus the type of application the reel can support.

Macnaught's current twin-pedestal configurations span multiple hose sizes including:

► 6mm
► 9mm
► 10mm
► 12mm
► 12.5mm
► 13mm
► 19mm
► 25mm

Smaller-diameter configurations feature prominently in grease applications while larger 19mm plus 25mm options appear across high-demand air, water, oil plus diesel applications.

Match diameter to:

► Required flow
► Pump output
► Equipment demand
► Fluid viscosity
► Hose length
► Existing connections

Bigger isn't automatically better.

Oversizing a hose can add bulk plus cost without improving the actual application.

3. Choose the required hose length

Current Macnaught double pedestal configurations include common lengths of:

► 10m
► 15m
► 20m

Select enough hose to reach the normal servicing zone without carrying unnecessary excess.

Consider:

► Reel mounting point
► Vehicle length
► Machinery size
► Service-bay dimensions
► Technician movement
► Hose routing
► Obstacles

A correctly positioned 15m reel can be more practical than a poorly positioned 20m system.

4. Select the correct grease reel

Macnaught's twin-pedestal grease range includes multiple hose sizes for professional lubrication systems.

Current configurations include:

► 6mm x 15m
► 9mm x 15m
► 10mm x 15m

Grease reels need to be matched to the pump, hose pressure, grease delivery requirement plus dispensing gun.

For the pump side of a professional lubrication setup, Macnaught Powered Greasing provides the natural cross-sell into powered grease delivery.

5. Select the correct oil reel

Macnaught's twin-pedestal oil reel range includes configurations such as:

► 12mm x 20m
► 19mm x 20m

The appropriate diameter depends on the oil-transfer system plus required delivery rate.

Check:

► Pump ratio
► Pump output
► Oil viscosity
► Hose pressure rating
► Hose diameter
► Control gun
► Connection sizes
► Required flow

Oil reels should be treated as one component within the complete dispensing system.

6. Select the correct air/water reel

Current Macnaught configurations include:

► 10mm x 15m air/water
► 12.5mm x 15m air/water
► 12mm x 20m air/water
► 19mm x 20m air/water
► 25mm x 20m M-Series hose reel

Larger hose diameters become relevant where higher flow is required.

For compressed-air applications, consider both pressure plus airflow.

A hose can be correctly pressure-rated while still being too restrictive for high-demand pneumatic equipment.

For Australian workshop context around pneumatic equipment, Air Tools vs Electric: The Real Cost of Ownership for Australian Workshops provides relevant supporting reading.

7. Select the correct diesel reel

Macnaught's twin-pedestal range includes dedicated diesel reel configurations.

Options include:

► 25mm x 10m diesel reels
► 25mm x 15m diesel reels
► 25mm x 20m diesel reels
► Diesel reels with automatic nozzles

A diesel reel needs to match:

► Fuel compatibility
► Pump output
► Required flow
► Hose diameter
► Hose length
► Nozzle configuration
► Connection size
► Installation layout

Where a complete reel already exists but needs a compatible nozzle, filter, swivel or supporting fuel component, Macnaught Lubemate Fuel Accessories provides the more focused accessory pathway.

8. Decide whether a bare reel is appropriate

Macnaught also offers bare twin-pedestal reel configurations.

Current options include:

► 13mm x 20m bare reel
► 25mm x 20m bare reel

A bare reel can suit specialised installations where the hose needs to be selected separately.

Don't fit arbitrary hose to a bare reel.

Confirm:

► Reel hose capacity
► Hose diameter
► Hose length
► Pressure rating
► Fluid compatibility
► Connection requirements
► Retraction requirements

before completing the assembly.

Expert Tips for Double Pedestal Hose Reel Selection

A heavy-duty reel performs best when the complete installation is designed around normal workshop movement.

► Choose by fluid first. Hose diameter alone doesn't determine compatibility.
► Match flow requirements. Larger-bore hose can be important for higher-demand applications.
► Don't overspecify length. Excess hose adds unnecessary handling plus storage.
► Position the reel strategically. Mounting location determines how much hose technicians actually need.
► Check the complete pressure path. Reel, hose, fittings, swivel plus dispensing equipment all
need appropriate ratings.
► Inspect hoses regularly. Look for cuts, abrasion, swelling, cracking plus damaged end fittings.
► Keep the hose path clear. Avoid dragging hose across sharp edges or active machinery.
► Check reel retraction. Irregular winding or poor retraction should be investigated before it damages the hose.
► Inspect swivels for leakage. Fluid leakage around a reel swivel needs prompt attention.
► Keep fluid systems identified. Clearly distinguish oil, grease, diesel, air plus water equipment.
► Use correct dispensing equipment. Match guns, nozzles plus fittings to the medium.
► Record the reel model. Model identification makes future hose plus spare-part selection considerably easier.

Industrial Shed's Tool & Equipment Care also provides a useful service pathway around frequently used workshop equipment.

Double Pedestal vs Single Pedestal Hose Reels

The choice should follow application demand rather than assuming one construction is universally better.

Double pedestal reels are particularly suited to applications requiring:

► Robust reel support
► Larger hose configurations
► Longer hose capacities
► Heavy workshop use
► Oil or grease delivery
► High-flow air/water delivery
► Diesel transfer
► Industrial fluid handling

A single pedestal reel can remain practical where a more compact reel arrangement suits the application.

The important distinction is matching reel construction to:

► Hose dimensions
► Fluid
► Pressure
► Flow
► Usage frequency
► Mounting arrangement
► Working environment

Macnaught itself separates its metal hose reel range into single plus dual pedestal formats, reinforcing that these are distinct reel configurations rather than interchangeable product names.

Grease Double Pedestal Reels

Grease delivery places particular demands on hose equipment because lubricant needs to move under pressure through the hose towards the dispensing gun.

Macnaught provides twin-pedestal grease reels in several hose sizes.

These can suit:

► Fleet lubrication
► Heavy-equipment servicing
► Agricultural machinery
► Workshop grease systems
► Industrial maintenance
► Centralised service areas

Before choosing a grease reel, match it to:

► Grease pump
► Pump ratio
► Hose pressure rating
► Required hose length
► Grease gun
► Coupler
► Grease viscosity
► Lubrication workload

The reel shouldn't become the limiting component within a high-pressure grease-delivery system.

Oil Double Pedestal Reels

Oil reels provide organised hose management between the oil dispensing system plus the service point.

Macnaught's current range includes twin-pedestal oil configurations with 12mm plus 19mm hose options.

Larger hose diameter can be useful where increased oil flow is required but the complete system still determines performance.

Consider:

► Pump ratio
► Oil viscosity
► Flow requirement
► Hose length
► Hose diameter
► Meter or control gun
► Connection size
► Workshop layout

For supporting suction equipment, hoses, measuring equipment plus dispensing components, Macnaught Oil Accessories provides a complementary category.

Air & Water Double Pedestal Reels

Compressed air plus water are among the broadest applications within Macnaught's twin-pedestal range.

Available hose configurations extend from smaller workshop setups through to 19mm plus 25mm heavy-duty options.

For compressed air, check:

► Compressor output
► Air pressure
► Required airflow
► Tool demand
► Hose diameter
► Hose length

For water, check:

► Water pressure
► Required flow
► Temperature
► Hose compatibility
► Nozzle requirements

Don't assume an air/water reel automatically suits another fluid.

Use the reel only within its specified application.

Diesel Double Pedestal Reels

Diesel-transfer applications benefit from a hose reel that keeps long delivery hoses controlled around fuel-storage plus machinery-refuelling areas.

Macnaught's current twin-pedestal diesel range includes 25mm hose configurations plus selected models supplied with automatic nozzles.

These systems can suit:

► Farm machinery
► Earthmoving fleets
► Construction equipment
► Industrial plant
► Truck fleets
► Equipment yards
► Workshop refuelling

Fuel systems require correctly matched hoses, nozzles, fittings plus pumps.

Avoid using general-purpose fluid components where dedicated fuel-compatible equipment is required.

For additional workshop fluid-handling knowledge, How to Read a Safety Data Sheet - A Quick Guide for Workshop Operators provides useful supporting guidance.

Installation & Hose Reel Positioning

Reel placement can have almost as much impact on usability as hose length.

Before installation, consider:

► Normal equipment position
► Technician work zone
► Hose pull direction
► Reel clearance
► Pedestrian routes
► Vehicle movement
► Machinery movement
► Mounting strength
► Service access
► Hose reach

The objective is to minimise unnecessary hose lying across active work areas.

Position the reel so technicians can reach common service points without repeatedly pulling the complete hose length.

A well-positioned reel can also allow a shorter hose configuration, reducing unnecessary hose movement.
