Retracta R3 Auto-Rewind Hose Reel
Fifteen metres of premium hybrid PVC air hose, engineered to retract on your terms. The R3 brings precision speed control, corrosion-proof construction, and a decade of manufacturer confidence to every workshop bay.
"In a professional workshop, the hose reel is the last thing you should be thinking about. The R3 makes certain of that — retracting cleanly, holding pressure, and outlasting the tools it serves."
Engineering
Four Reasons the R3 Leads Its Class
Patented RACR Technology
The Retracta Adjustable Control Return system gives you direct command over retraction speed. Eliminate dangerous hose whip-back and reduce wear with smooth, user-controlled return action that adapts to your pace.
Corrosion-Free Polypropylene
High-impact polypropylene throughout — no rust, no degradation. Performs consistently in humid workshops, coastal environments, and industrial settings where metal reels corrode and fail.
Reinforced High-Wear Mouth
Engineered for thousands of retraction cycles. Increased internal capacity and overrun protection ensure the hose feeds without binding, kinking, or premature wear at the entry point.
10-Year Manufacturer Warranty
A decade of comprehensive coverage reflects the engineering standards behind every R3. This is long-term workshop infrastructure, not a consumable — and Retracta backs it accordingly.
Performance
Built for the Demands of Professional Use
In high-throughput workshops, a tangled or snapping hose is more than an inconvenience — it is a safety risk and a productivity drain. The R3 was designed to remove that variable entirely. The hybrid PVC hose remains supple in cold conditions, resists abrasion, and holds its shape under repeated retraction, while the polypropylene drum maintains dimensional stability regardless of ambient humidity or temperature fluctuation.
The 15-metre reach provides genuine coverage across multi-bay facilities, and the ½" BSP inlet and outlet connections integrate directly with standard UK workshop plumbing. At 250 PSI maximum working pressure, the R3 handles everything from tyre inflation and blow-off guns to impact wrenches and spray equipment without restriction.
