Try a Claber hose reel. They have them on the Gardiner's website.

the claber reel is a good lightweight reel if your lifting it in and out of the van all day.cheap too.however if you change your mind and  decide on a fixed reel then your cant beat a cox reel.(they are very expensive though)££££.

I bought two of those Claber reels recently and for the money they're not bad at all.
They stay fixed in the van so don't have to take any abuse from being lifted in and out all day.
Put into perspective they are lightweight, and made to a price and won't be as substantial as a "Professional" grade hose reel.

I have had my Hannay reel over 11 years and it is still going strong. Not replaced a part on it, just once a year or so top up the bearing with grease.

I ordered 2 from Gardiners, only to be phoned up and advised of the wait. I cancelled the order and spent the next day phoning round trying to find someone with stock.
