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. The price point for the VersaReel® will be lower than that of the 1200/1400 series and is ideal for indoor applications for warehouses, schools, laboratories, box stores, workshops, power tools, light source, general industrial, manufacturing plants, fleet service centers, and construction sites.
