FAQ

Why would a customer want to purchase a VersaReel® over a 1200/1400 series?

The VersaReel^® is a more economical option for light duty commercial applications, while the 1200/1400 series and beyond are better suited for heavier industrial applications. While the VersaReel^® is a well-built reel with a reinforced steel frame it is not suited well for heavier industrial applications and one of our other offerings should be used in these cases.
