construction
The hose trolley essentially consists of a chassis and a rotatable drum with a crank mounted on it . In the axis of this there is a connection piece for the hose. This opens into an adapter that can be freely rotated to prevent the connection hose from twisting. There is another connection piece for the tap connection on the outside of the drum . There are also models with automatic rewinding, with a carrying handle instead of a chassis (hose carrier) or in a closed design where the hose is not directly accessible.
