Part number and configuration

Reels for forklift masts

Looking for the reel fitted to a mast or a configuration for a carriage attachment? The nameplate part number and installation photographs are the starting point. Compare four-hose, two-hose and combined versions against the actual travel of the hose/cable assembly and available space.

DEMAC reel mounted on a forklift mast, hose running down to the carriage
The reel at the top of the mast, with the hose running down the profile to the carriage: this is the typical arrangement.
Configuration

Families to compare

Replace the reel only

Compare the hose/cable assembly and mounting of the existing equipment.

Identify a complete kit

Reel, hose, guides and fittings: go to hydraulic, combined hose and cable, and cable kits.

Part number / replacement

Identify the existing installation

Include a photograph of the nameplate, an overall view of the mast and close-ups of mountings, fittings and guides. Forklift brand complements this information but is not enough to establish equivalence.

Travel and cycle rate

Specify the mast type, actual travel of the hose/cable assembly and operating cycle rate.

Available space

Record the diameter, width, hole centres and outlet direction.

Circuits

State the number of hoses and their specifications, as well as any electrical contacts.

If the part number sought is an S1 single-spiral reel, start from its product page and nameplate rather than a general comparison of winding methods.

Configuration

Hydraulic and electrical configurations

For a combined hose and cable reel, specify both the hydraulic circuit and the contacts, voltages, currents and signals to transmit.

The AG/E is a two-hose family with cable. Check capacity and overall dimensions against the proposed part number; adding cable is not assumed to have no effect on the configuration.

Checks before a proposal

See the information to record

Travel and outlet direction

Distinguish lift height from the travel of the hose/cable assembly. Include a photograph showing the outlet direction of the current equipment.

Guidance

Identify the guides and pulleys to retain, their positions and dimensions.

Hose and fittings

Photograph markings and fittings. The hose and cable data is used to compare the exact configuration.

Classified zone

If this applies to your installation, send the specifications and documents for the existing equipment. See the ATEX page to prepare this specific enquiry.

Documentation

Parts or documentation enquiry

See the information to record

For a maintenance enquiry, state the reel part number and the part concerned, with photographs. The applicable instructions are those for this part number and configuration; inspection intervals and adjustments are not defined by this page.

Part number or configuration

Prepare your enquiry

For a replacement, start with a legible photograph of the nameplate and a view of the installation. Add the information available below; identify anything still to be confirmed.

  • Photograph of the nameplate and required part number.
  • Mast type, lift height and travel of the hose/cable assembly.
  • Number of lines, diameter, flow rate, pressure and fittings.
  • Mountings, overall dimensions, outlet direction and guides.
  • Electrical contacts or signals, cycle rate and ambient conditions.
