Title: Grippa electric hose reel
Post by: premier window cleaners on July 20, 2019, 08:34:11 pm
Anyone used one of these?
A lot are saying Purefreedom is good but not heard much about grippa although it’s more expensive, is it worth the extra money?
Thanks

Yeah, I've got one. Very pleased with it. It's smooth and reasonably quiet. It drops another metre out when you've finished unreeling for a job, so the hose lays on the ground. Well made unit.
You can choose from coloured or stainless steel chassis. I think the main difference from other manufacturers is that the motor is not chain driven. It drives the drum round from a unit built into the centre. Very neat and tidy. No chain to worry about.
It comes with a quite solid control box and wired extension with control buttons. Plus the option of remote control.

I little while ago I had to go to grippatank to change some housings and membrane, I sat in work some watching them build one and another was in part sembley and looking around at all components there defiantly made well, I was tempted but I'm gonna wait for new van in May.
