JSG Supplier Lincoln has a reputation as a manufacturer of exceptional lubrication, pumping and hose reel systems.

A new generation of hose reel systems from JSG Industrial Systems is being built to withstand the rigours of mining and industrial operations.

J SG Industrial Systems is in the business of providing highly robust, functional, and practical hose management solutions to industry customers.

With more than 50 years of experience, JSG understands the implications of poor hose management, especially in and around reciprocating or moving machinery, often resulting in premature ruptures and damage.

Through incidents of wear, abrasions and kinking, or being caught in machinery or affected by on-site vehicle movement, damage to hoses leads directly to costly repairs and maintenance, unplanned downtime, and lost efficiency.

Workplace safety is also another key consideration, with problems arising from improperly stored hoses.

“The whole purpose of a hose reel is to ensure hoses are properly stored. Hose reels revolve around safety, they are designed to eliminate any trip hazards that are on the workshop floor or in the immediate are of a service vehicle,” JSG Industrial Systems flow product manager James Slowgrove told Safe to Work.

“If the hose is not being used then they need to be wound back and stored correctly.

“We are reducing our operator time lost to injury through safely storing hoses.”

JSG provides hose reels that are designed to safely rewind and be correctly stored away from hazardous locations, including service vehicles and machinery sites.

The company has an extensive range of high-quality products from leading suppliers.

Priding itself on being able to work with its suppliers, JSG shares technical information and makes continual improvements to manufacturing processes to maintain a competitive advantage in the market.

In relation to hose reels, JSG’s three key suppliers to industry customers are Lincoln, Cobra and Faicom.

Lincoln has a significant reputation as manufacturers of exceptional lubrication, pumping and hose reel systems. JSG has an extensive history with Lincoln supplying mining, industrial and commercial sites.

Lincoln’s new generation spring-driven hose reels are an open-style design for heavy-duty applications. They possess high-tensile frames ideal for harsh operating environments.

“Lincoln manufacture robust, functional and reliable hose reels, operating everyday across industry sites,’ Slowgrove said.

Cobra hose reels are also open-style and can be supplied in manual, spring-retractable or direct-drive configurations. They are high-strength, with rigid frames and drum, and are designed for high flow rates with a large hose capacity and high duty cycle. 

“Cobra provides a similar type of reel to those manufactured by Lincoln, with a focus on underground coal mining operations,” Slowgrove said.

JSG has worked closely with Cobra to ensure the manufacturer’s air-assisted and hydraulic-driven reels, produced in a variety of sizes, can be used for diesel fuel, high-pressure grease, compressed air, and lubricating oils.

The Cobra hose reels are compact, designed for heavy-duty use in rugged environments 

Super swivels are used on the grease head reels to allow retraction even while under full pressure. The swivels have a full flowpath and can withstand heavy slideloads.

Faicom manufactures hose reels that assist in minimising wear and improve operator safety.

The MPRT curtain-support reels are used in the separation of welding, grinding, or painting sections within industry workshops.

“These products are very special, as they are designed specifically for a tailored application,” Slowgrove said.

“JSG’s hose reels are designed to cater for a large customer base, offering many applications.

“Our business is predominantly mining. We have two wonderful brands, Lincoln and Cobra, designed for these operations; however, with Faicom we can.”
