<p>A hose cart combining the features of an off-set handle, to permit any easie r retrieval of paid out hose, a hose tracker, to permit hose to be neatly wound onto a reel , and a storage system comprising a protective housing, to provide storage and protection for a hos e kept within, is provided. The invention includes the use of a crank to turn a reel which causes paid out hose to be drawn into the protective box onto a reel. The use of a plurality of gear s permits the crank to be offset from the center of the reel, such that it is elevated to a more convenient cranking position. Further, the use of gears permits the same movement of the crank, which causes hose to be collected, causes a hose guide to move laterally, along the axis of th e reel, such that hose is neatly layered onto the reel.</p> |
