Unlike the spring driven and hand crank reels, motor driven, also commonly referred to as automatic retraction, reels can be used for essentially all types of applications and hoses. The most distinguishing variation between different types of motorized hose reels is the power voltage. Power voltage in motorized hose reels can typically range from 12V to 230V.

Motor driven reels can be used for all applications providing there is a power source available.
