In accordance with the present invention, a system and method for a powered vertical axis hose reel is shown. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a powered hose reel is disclosed having a spool around which a hose may be coiled, in which the spool is on a vertical axis relative to the ground. In various embodiments, the powered hose reel includes a programmable controller for implementing a rewind protocol adapted to encourage the hose to fill from the bottom of the spool cup to the top.

A hose-used hose-reeling apparatus includes a base, a reel, a conduit assembly and a communication element. The reel is supported on the base. The conduit assembly includes a conduit and a shackle. The conduit extends in the base and includes a horizontal tube and a vertical tube. The horizontal tube includes an insertion section and an abutment section. The insertion section includes at least one hook inserted in a slot in the base. The abutment section includes an end for abutment against a supporting element. The vertical tube extends in a peripheral aperture of the base from the insertion section. The shackle is movable between a releasing position disengaged from the insertion section and a locking position engaged with the insertion section. The communication element extends in the reel and covers a peripheral aperture in the insertion section as the reel is supported on the base.

A ground thawing hose cleaning reel guide assembly cleans a ground thawing hose as the hose is reeled back onto a reel within a vehicle. The assembly includes a hose guide coupled to a frame such that the hose guide is movable between opposite ends of the frame. The hose guide has an interior edge defining an aperture extending through the hose guide. A sheet is coupled to the hose guide extending over the aperture. A channel extends into the sheet. The channel is configured to receive a hose within the channel whereby the sheet is configured to scrape debris from the hose as the hose is moved through the hose guide.

Embodiments of a hydraulically driven agricultural hose reel comprise a spool, a frame, the hose reel having a front end, back end, drive side, and a free side. The hose reel includes a hydraulic motor system powered by a hydraulic pump, which turns the spool though a transmission assembly. The hydraulic motor system comprises a manifold that selectively sets the hose reel to a series operating configuration, parallel operating configuration, or a free wheel operating configuration.

An industrial machine includes a frame supporting a boom, an elongated member movably coupled to the boom, an attachment, a conduit, and a reel supporting at least a portion of the conduit. The boom includes a first end coupled to the frame and a second end opposite the first end. The elongated member is movably coupled to the boom and includes a first end and a second end. The attachment is coupled to the second end of the elongated member. The conduit extends between the frame and the attachment. The reel is rotatably supported on a support shaft. The reel rotates about an axis of rotation to reel in and pay out the conduit as the elongated member moves relative to the boom.
