OilShield Hoses & Hose Reels
OilShield Hoses & Hose Reels: Built for the Demands of Real Work
When a shop, farm, or fleet operation depends on reliable fluid and air delivery, the hose and reel doing the job matters more than most people realize. OilShield has earned a reputation in the Hoses & Hose Reels category by engineering products that go well beyond the basics — combining heavy-duty construction with thoughtful safety features that professionals in automotive, agricultural, and industrial settings have come to trust.
The OilShield Hose Advantage: RMA Class A Construction
At the core of every OilShield hose assembly is its use of RMA Class A oil-resistant rubber. This isn't a marketing term — RMA (Rubber Manufacturers Association) Class A is the highest industry standard for oil resistance, and OilShield hoses are engineered to meet it. What that means in practice is a hose tube and cover that stand up to petroleum-based fuels, oils, and shop chemicals without degrading over time.
OilShield's rubber fuel and air hoses are also notable for being approximately 30% lighter than comparable rubber hoses in the same class, reducing operator fatigue during extended use. Despite the weight savings, these hoses deliver serious performance: working pressures up to 300 PSI with a 4:1 safety factor, and flexibility that holds from -50°F to +190°F — making them equally at home in a frigid January on a northern farm or a sweltering summer service bay.
OilShield's fuel transfer hose lines feature an integrated static wire — a critical safety detail for anyone transferring diesel or gasoline. Static discharge during fuel transfer is a real hazard, and this built-in grounding wire eliminates that risk without requiring any add-on accessories. The hoses also include 8-inch internal strain relief springs on each end and high-strength polyester woven braided reinforcement for long-term durability.
Retractable Hose Reels That Mean Business
OilShield's retractable hose reel lineup is engineered with the same no-compromise philosophy. The reel housings are constructed from powder-coated 18-gauge heavy-duty steel — highly resistant to rust, abrasion, and flaking even in outdoor or high-traffic environments. The single-arm and heavy-duty dual-arm reel configurations feature a fully enclosed 12-point ratchet locking mechanism that lets users lock the hose at precise incremental lengths with a simple pull-and-release motion, then retract it smoothly when done.
Four non-snag rollers guard the hose against abrasion at the exit point, while a dedicated hose-stop and fully enclosed spring assembly reduce vibration for quieter, longer-lasting operation. A brass swivel inlet fitting prevents leaks at the connection point, and a 3- to 6-foot lead-in hose makes hookup to an air compressor or fuel pump quick and straightforward.
Installation flexibility is another OilShield strength: these reels can be mounted on walls, ceilings, floors, or service trailer decks — both horizontally and vertically — making them adaptable to tight shop layouts or mobile workstation setups. The lineup spans sizes from compact 3/4" x 25' fuel hose reels up to heavy-duty 1/2" x 75' air hose assemblies, covering the range of needs from farm fuel transfer to busy automotive service bays.
Warranty You Can Count On
OilShield backs its hose reel products with a 2-year reel warranty and a 3-year hose warranty — above-average coverage that reflects confidence in the build quality of both the hardware and the rubber. For shops and operations that can't afford downtime, that kind of manufacturer commitment matters.
Whether you're managing fuel transfers on an agricultural property, running an automotive service bay, or outfitting a fleet maintenance facility, OilShield's hoses and hose reels deliver the combination of safety engineering, durability, and ergonomic design that makes the job safer and more efficient every day.
