The Stealth Electric 18" Aluminum Full Frame Hose Reel is a powered commercial hose reel designed for pressure washing, soft washing, water transfer, agricultural spraying, and other high-flow applications. It combines push-button hose retrieval with a corrosion-resistant aluminum frame, a fully welded 1/2-inch stainless steel manifold, and an included stainless steel swivel.
Manual hose retrieval consumes time and operator energy at the end of every job. The electric rewind system retrieves long runs of heavy hose without repetitive hand cranking, helping crews complete breakdown faster and reducing strain on the hands, shoulders, arms, and back.
The 1/2-inch stainless steel manifold provides a dependable flow path for common pressure washing and soft washing configurations. It is well suited for pressure washer hose, 1/2-inch soft wash hose, chemical application systems, and commercial equipment packages that do not require the larger flow capacity of a 3/4-inch manifold.
A powerful motor also places greater torque on the reel assembly. Stealth supports that load with a full aluminum frame, reinforced welded construction, stainless steel plumbing, and greasable stainless steel pillar blocks built for repeated commercial use.
This is not simply a manual reel with a motor attached. It is a productivity tool designed to save labor, preserve operator energy, and help contractors move from one revenue-producing job to the next with less downtime.

Why Professional Contractors Choose an Electric Hose Reel
An electric hose reel turns hose retrieval from a manual task into a push-button process. The operator guides the hose while the powered drum performs the repetitive work.
For contractors completing several jobs per day, the time saved during breakdown can add up across every crew, route, and workweek. Faster retrieval also helps operators maintain productivity late in the day when fatigue normally slows manual cranking.
The electric reel provides particular value for:
- Long hose runs
- Heavy, water-filled hose
- Multi-job service routes
- Solo operators
- High-volume pressure washing crews
- Truck, trailer, and skid-mounted systems
- Operators seeking less repetitive physical strain
What Is the Benefit of the 1/2" Manifold?
A 1/2-inch manifold provides a practical balance of flow capacity, pressure capability, and connection compatibility for common professional cleaning and spraying systems.
It is particularly well suited for pressure washer hose, standard soft wash systems, chemical application equipment, and installations already built around 1/2-inch plumbing. Choosing a manifold that matches the hose and system connections can simplify installation while reducing the need for unnecessary adapters.
The 1/2-inch configuration is best suited for:
- Pressure washer hose
- Standard soft wash systems
- 1/2-inch soft wash hose
- Chemical application systems
- Agricultural spraying
- Pest-control spraying systems
- Commercial wash equipment
- Mobile cleaning rigs
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose an electric hose reel instead of a manual reel?
An electric hose reel retrieves hose with powered drum rotation instead of manual cranking. It reduces repetitive physical effort, speeds up jobsite breakdown, and makes long or heavy hose easier to manage.
Does the electric reel pull the hose in by itself?
The motor rotates the drum, but the operator should still guide the hose evenly across the reel. Proper hose guidance prevents bunching and supports consistent rewinding.
Should I choose the 1/2" or 3/4" version?
Choose the manifold size based on the hose diameter, pump flow, system plumbing, and intended application. The 3/4-inch version is generally preferred for higher-flow systems and larger hose, while the 1/2-inch version may be appropriate for standard pressure washing or soft wash hose configurations.
Is the stainless steel swivel included?
Yes. The reel includes a stainless steel swivel as standard equipment.
Can the reel be mounted on a trailer or skid?
Yes. The full-frame design is intended for installation on trailers, skids, service trucks, flatbeds, and other commercial equipment platforms.
Can multiple Stealth reels be stacked?
Yes. Stealth stacking kits and stainless steel mounting hardware allow compatible reels to be installed vertically where the equipment layout permits.
Features
Push-Button Powered Hose Retrieval
The electric rewind system retrieves hose without repetitive manual cranking. It helps operators complete jobsite breakdown faster while reducing strain on the upper body.
Built to Buy Back Time
Powered retrieval shortens one of the most repetitive parts of pressure washing and soft washing. Crews can pack up sooner and move to the next job with less downtime between properties.
Reduces Operator Fatigue
The motor handles the repetitive drum rotation while the operator guides the hose. This reduces continuous stress on the hands, wrists, shoulders, arms, and back.
1/2" Stainless Steel Manifold
The fully welded 1/2-inch stainless steel manifold provides a dependable flow path for common pressure washing, soft washing, chemical application, and agricultural spraying systems.
Included Stainless Steel Swivel
The reel includes a stainless steel swivel as standard equipment. Its corrosion-resistant construction supports smooth drum rotation in pressure washing, soft washing, and chemical-handling environments.
Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum Full Frame
The aluminum frame resists rust caused by weather, road exposure, water, and cleaning environments while keeping the assembly lighter than comparable steel-frame reels.
Built for Electric Motor Torque
Powered retrieval creates more rotational force than manual cranking. The full-frame construction, reinforced welds, stainless manifold, and support components help the reel manage that torque under a loaded hose.
Fully Welded Plumbing
The welded stainless steel manifold eliminates unnecessary threaded manifold joints that can loosen, corrode, or develop leaks during repeated commercial use.
Protected Greasable Stainless Steel Pillar Blocks
The stainless steel pillar blocks support the reel drum and provide smooth, serviceable rotation. Grease fittings allow routine maintenance for long-term use.
Reinforced Commercial Construction
Seamless exterior welds and reinforced interior corners strengthen the reel against vibration, road travel, loaded hose retrieval, and pressure-system shock.
Brushed Aluminum Finish
The brushed aluminum surface provides a clean commercial appearance while remaining suitable for exposed truck, trailer, and skid installations.
Flexible Mounting Options
The full-frame design allows installation on pressure washing trailers, soft wash skids, service trucks, flatbeds, and custom equipment packages.
Stackable Reel Platform
Compatible stacking hardware allows multiple Stealth reels to be installed in a compact vertical configuration when space is limited.
