Frequently Asked Questions - 2 Wheel Cart Reel
These FAQs are specific to this particular model. For general FAQs about all ELEY reels, visit our Garden Hose Reels FAQs.
2 Wheels vs. 4 Wheels? Which is right for me?
Without a doubt, this is the most asked question regarding this model. We recommend reading our quick comparison guide for answers from the experts: 2-Wheel Cart vs 4-Wheel Wagon Hose Reel.
I'm a tall person. Are there extensions available for the push-pull handles?
Sorry, at this time we don't offer any extensions for the push-pull handles.
Will it easily tip over?
Our portable wheeled hose reels are not easily tipped over. While the addition of the optional Quad-Wheel Kit does add a bit more stability, the primary factor in the reel tipping over is how tight you set the adjustable cam-lever brake. Watch this short video to see how to set, adjust and use our innovative cam-lever brake. These reels weigh 35 pounds or more and have a 2-foot wide by a 2-foot-deep base. The center of gravity of the unit is designed to keep the cart upright.
Is an optional tool basket available?
No. No tool basket option is available at this time. If one becomes available, it will be announced to our notification subscriber list. Notification sign-up is in the footer of this website.
Does the sharp bend in the brass swivel restrict water flow?
The change in the shape of the garden hose swivel gooseneck does have a theoretical impact on water flow, but it is so minimal that our digital flow meter with a resolution of 0.01 gallons per minute (GPM) and our pressure drop gauges cannot detect it.
Is assembly required?
Yes, however, don't let that scare you away. Quick and easy assembly was one of our R&D team's primary objectives when designing the durable ELEY hose reels. We provide an excellent assembly manual with the hose reel as well as a full step-by-step video demonstration of the assembly on this website. Please visit our Assembly Instructions - Two-Wheel Cart Hose Reel page if you'd like to preview the manual and video.
Can you connect the long hose to the faucet, wheel the cart to the desired location and use the 6-foot inlet hose to water with?
The product was not designed to function that way, and it wouldn't work very well because the hose pulls off the reel parallel to the cart's tire axle. It would need to pull off perpendicular to the axle for the cart to be more easily wheeled away from the faucet.
I don't see my question on this list.
