Rewinda: Smarter, safer hose and barrier management

 

Loose hoses and tangled cables on the work floor, along with poorly defined work zones, are inefficient and pose safety risks. Recognising this, Alemlube has introduced Rewinda, a new generation of hose, cable, and barrier reels designed to raise the standard of work site safety, organisation, and productivity.


The Australian-owned company understands the daily pressures faced by workshops and industrial operators. Time is valuable, space is often limited, and compliance with workplace health and safety requirements is non-negotiable.

The Rewinda Series has been engineered to address these challenges head-on, delivering a retractable reel solution that simplifies hose and cable management while enhancing workplace safety.

Developed in partnership with a long-standing reel manufacturer, the Rewinda range combines functional engineering with a modern, professional appearance.

Featuring proprietary mouldings, advanced tooling, and a serviceable modular design, every Rewinda reel is built for long-term performance. Backed by a 10-year warranty on materials and workmanship, plus a no-exclusions two-year warranty on wearing parts, Rewinda provides peace of mind.

The relevance of retractable reels

Retractable hose and cable reels have become a must-have in workshops, mine sites, transport depots, and production facilities. By keeping hoses and cables off the floor and neatly stored when not in use, reels reduce trip hazards, prevent damage to equipment, and improve workflow efficiency.

The Rewinda Series has been designed as a family of reels, covering common workshop applications. The range includes compressed air reels, high-pressure water reels, hot wash reels, chemical and pesticide reels, welding reels, grease reels, electrical cable reels, and highly visible barrier reels — all sharing the same design philosophy, safety features, and durability.

Replacing Alemlube’s original S Series released in 2008, Rewinda represents the next evolution in retractable reel technology. Every model has been researched, designed, and engineered to meet current market needs and exceed industry expectations across Australia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea.

Core design features

At the heart of the Rewinda Series is a suite of patented and user-focused design features that make everyday operation safer and more efficient.

All hose and cable reels are fitted with a speed rewind control system, ensuring hoses retract smoothly and at a controlled pace. This prevents sudden snapback, reducing the risk of injury, damage to tools, and accidental contact with vehicles or equipment.

The Rewinda hose and cable reels are fitted with a speed-rewind control system, ensuring hoses retract smoothly and at a controlled pace.

Complementing this is the stop-at-any-point latching system, allowing users to lock the hose or cable at the length required every time. This eliminates frustration, improves ergonomics, and enhances control during operation.

A sliding hose guide system ensures hoses return evenly onto the barrel assembly, preventing bunching on one side of the reel. This feature not only improves reliability but also extends hose life and ensures consistent retraction over time.

The reels are protected by UV-stabilised, next-generation polymer covers that resist fading and degradation, even in harsh environments. Heavy-duty steel swivels allow up to 180 degrees of movement, providing excellent working flexibility whether mounted on walls and ceilings or in vehicles.

Reliable air where needed

Compressed air is essential in almost every workshop, and the Rewinda compressed air hose reels are designed to deliver consistent, uninterrupted airflow with maximum durability.

Models such as the Alemlube AR1020CAB Rewinda Compressed Air Hose Reel feature Gen3 hybrid polymer hose assemblies, offering flexibility while remaining kink-free under pressure. Integrated hose bend restrictors further protect the hose at high-stress points, extending service life and reducing maintenance costs.

These reels are suited for use with tyre inflators, pneumatic drills, impact wrenches, angle grinders, and ratchets. They are used across automotive workshops, transport depots, mine sites, manufacturing facilities, agricultural workshops, and civil contractor operations.

High-pressure hot water washdown

For demanding washdown applications, the Alemlube AR1020HPWR Rewinda High Pressure Hot Water Washdown Hose Reel delivers industrial-grade performance where heat, pressure, and reliability are critical.

Designed as a robust hose storage and retrieval system, this reel is fitted with a high heat-resistant wire braid hose capable of handling hot water up to 90°C, making it ideal for food processing, manufacturing, mining, transport depots, and other high-pressure washdown environments.

Crimped hose ends ensure secure, leak-free operation, while an integral carry handle and detachable mounting bracket provide added flexibility during installation and maintenance.

Manufactured with impact-resistant, UV-stabilised polypropylene covers, the AR1020HPWR is engineered to withstand corrosive conditions and harsh climates. A heavy-duty internal spring assembly, combined with the Rewinda speed control brake system, delivers smooth, controlled retraction whether the hose is partially or fully extended.

Serviceable and compatible with updated mounting brackets that suit Alemlube S Series and other brands, this reel can be wall-, floor- or ceiling-mounted, and is built to perform reliably in the challenging operating environments commonly encountered across Australia and New Zealand.

Clean, controlled lubrication

Efficient lubrication is critical in heavy-duty industries, and the Rewinda grease hose reels are engineered to provide reliable, cost-effective grease delivery in demanding environments.

The Alemlube AR615GB Rewinda Grease Hose Reel features a high-pressure wire braid hose designed to handle the rigours of grease applications. Suitable for workshops requiring dependable lubrication solutions, this reel supports cleaner operations by keeping grease hoses off the floor and neatly stored.

Like all Rewinda reels, the grease hose reel incorporates speed-controlled retraction, a stop-at-any-point latch and an even hose layering system. These features improve operator control, reduce hose wear and enhance overall workplace cleanliness and safety.

Safety-critical welding solutions

Welding environments demand the highest levels of safety, and the Rewinda Oxy Acetylene Twin Hose Reel has been developed to meet these requirements.

The Alemlube AR615OAR Rewinda Oxy Acetylene Twin Hose Reel is an industrial-quality hose storage and retrieval system featuring flexible, heat-resistant Grade R welding hoses. Designed for oxy acetylene applications, this serviceable reel complies with workplace health and safety standards.

By keeping twin welding hoses properly managed and evenly retracted, the reel reduces trip hazards, prevents hose damage and supports safer welding operations.

Power without the clutter

Electrical safety and cable management are critical in busy workshops and production facilities. Rewinda electrical cable reels provide a practical solution by keeping power cables organised, protected and easy to deploy.

The Alemlube AR1024020CRR Rewinda Electrical Cable Reel is supplied with 20 metres of heavy-duty rubber electrical cable (three-core x 1.5 square millimetres), rated at 240V and 10 amps. It delivers up to 1000W when coiled and 2000W when uncoiled, making it suitable for a range of workshop equipment.

Approved and compliant with AS/NZS 3000 standards, this reel is ideal for powering column lifts, TIG and MIG welders, refrigeration units, air conditioning equipment and other electrical tools. Smooth retraction prevents tangling, minimises cable damage, and reduces trip hazards.

By minimising work floor clutter and keeping hoses stored when not in use, Rewinda reels reduce trip hazards, prevent damage to equipment, and improve workflow efficiency.

Clear zones, safer workspaces

In addition to hose and cable reels, the Rewinda family includes high-visibility barrier reels designed to improve site safety through effective zone management.

Each barrier reel stores and retrieves 30 metres of durable barrier fabric, making them ideal for temporarily restricting access to hazardous areas or managing foot traffic. These reels are used in freight depots, mine and quarry sites, workshops, construction zones, and large residential or commercial facilities.
