Gladiator Powder Coat 150' 3/8" Hose Reel - Available for Pre-Order - Arrives March 2026

Powder Coat Hose Reel Built to Carry 150 Feet of 3/8" Line

This powder coat hose reel gives a pressure washing or hydro excavation crew a clean way to store and deploy 150 feet of 3/8" high pressure line. It carries a 5,000 PSI rating and accepts fluid as hot as 300 degrees F, so hot water and steam work are both on the table. Steel frame and drum wear a corrosion resistant finish rather than thin paint, and a Centurion stainless swivel takes care of the rotation. Model DHRA50150 bolts to a truck bed, a trailer floor or a wall bracket.

Features

• Handles a maximum system pressure of 5,000 PSI.
• Accepts fluid temperatures as high as 300 degrees F, which covers hot water washing and steam.
• Stores 150 feet of 3/8" high pressure hose on the drum.
• Comes with bushings so the inlet and outlet can run at either 1/2" or 3/8".
• Centurion stainless steel swivel resists chemicals and turns without weeping.
• Frame and drum both carry a corrosion resistant powder coating.
• Adjustable tension brake sets how freely the drum releases line.
• Heavy duty locking pin holds the drum still in transit.
• Oversized EZ Grip handle gives you leverage when cranking wet hose back in.
• Pre-drilled base keeps the install simple.

Specifications

Why the Finish Matters on a Work Truck

A lot of reels get by with a thin painted coating. Once paint chips, moisture and cleaning chemicals work underneath it and rust spreads from the inside out, which is how a reel ends up structurally finished after a couple of seasons.

The coating here is a high grade corrosion resistant powder coat covering the entire frame and drum, so the reel keeps its structure under constant exposure to weather. That counts most around soft wash surfactants and high pressure overspray, both of which chew through painted steel. The frame also shrugs off vibration and physical impact, and the locking mechanism cuts down on accidental hose unraveling during transit or on site.

How the Brake, Handle and Bushings Work Day to Day

The rotational brake lives in the drum assembly and lets you set the drum resistance yourself. Dial it in so the line stops the moment you stop pulling, and you avoid the bird nesting that turns a quick reset into a ten minute fight.

The EZ Grip handle is sized for torque instead of looks. Pulling a long run of water filled hose back onto a drum takes real leverage, and an oversized grip makes that a low effort retrieval. Inlet and outlet bushings let you match whatever plumbing is already on the rig without an extra trip to the hardware store.

Fitting It Into a Rig

This one drops into soft wash setups, hydro excavation trucks and general high pressure cleaning rigs. Bushing sets are precision machined for a proper fit, which extends the life of your high pressure hose and helps you avoid hazardous leaks at the manifold.

Because the base arrives pre-drilled, it bolts down solid on a truck bed, a trailer floor or a wall mount bracket. Put the swivel and the brake on a regular inspection schedule and the reel keeps performing the way it did the first week.

How 150 Feet Compares to a Larger Drum

A 150 foot drum is the practical choice when you work close to the rig. Residential soft wash, fleet cleaning and most hydro excavation happen inside that radius, and a shorter run loses less pressure between the pump and the gun.

Move up to a 300 foot drum only when parking near the work is not an option. You buy reach and you pay for it with a heavier reel, a bulkier footprint and more pressure drop. If you can usually pull right up to the building, this capacity keeps the setup lighter and the wind up quicker.

Common Questions

Will it handle a hot water machine?

Yes. Fluid up to 300 degrees F is within its rating, which covers hot water pressure washing along with steam.

What size connections does it take?

Bushings for both 1/2" and 3/8" come with it, so you can plumb the inlet and outlet either way.

Where can I mount it?

The base ships pre-drilled and bolts to a truck bed, a trailer floor or a wall bracket.

What keeps the drum from spinning on the road?

A heavy duty locking pin secures the drum in place while you drive, which protects both the hose and the reel.
