Hands Free Switches
Hands Free Switches for Electric Rewind Hose Reels
The best hands- free switch for carpet cleaning reels
Reel Innovations’ patent- pending “Hands-Free Switches” have been designed to provide a uniquely convenient, durable way to operate your vacuum hose reel, without the need to use your hands to turn it “ON”.
Your switch is never on the ground and never comes into contact with rain, mud, oils, etc., but rather, swings out at the height of your van bed above the ground.
The switch is permanently mounted at the “business end” of the vacuum hose reel, on an arm that swings out from your van floor. You activate the reel by simply leaning your leg against the switch.
Hands- free switches allow you to:
- Eliminate the need for you to hold your hand on a traditional switch for extended periods
- Have both hands free, to better guide hose onto your hose reel.
- Conveniently clean hoses of soils and residues, as they are being wound onto the reel.
- Eliminate the need to bend over or to reach into the van in any way, to operate the reel.
- Wires directly into the terminal block of a “Boom Package”
- Can wire directly into any electric rewind hose reel
