Sometimes Heavy Duty or Industrial Duty is not enough. Sometimes the job calls for the toughest of the tough. Sometimes, the application is just extreme. For years Coxreels has supplied heavy duty reels with triple axle supports and solid ¼” plate bases for demanding applications and environments. We engineered strength with features, balancing performance with cost, bringing suitable solutions for many market sectors. Some industries still demanded more. Some industries, similar to mining, heavy equipment, lubrication, or other off-road industries work in such demanding remote environments, all of the best features are needed with the most robust structure possible.

Extreme Duty XTM Series spring rewind reel. Born from the coalescing fires of the highest strength springs, stainless steel rollers, dual sintered bronze bearings, multiple axle supports, and welded box frames, the XTM Extreme Duty Reel combines the ultimate features into the world’s most robust reel solution. As with all Coxreels spring rewind reels, the XTM Series will satisfy your application’s hose management needs and is USA made with Coxreels Legendary Quality, just in a more impervious package than previously available.

Based on the TMP T-Series Medium Pressure product line, the XTM uses the pinnacle of all options available in the Coxreels lineup with some unique features for extra rugged environments. All sizes of the XTM Series feature stainless steel rollers directly integrated into the, built like a tank, all-welded steel box frame.

 All sizes of the XTM Series utilize dual permanently lubricated bearings, rigidly fixing the drum assembly to the solid 1” steel axle for consistent stability even in the most vibratory and impacting environments, while still maintaining an external fluid path for easy service. Special features such as swivel retainers which prevent unwanted vibratory loosening of threaded components and easily accessible ratcheting mechanisms set the XTM series on its own pedestal. High temperature, steel core arbors transfer the extra powerful heavy duty spring motor torque to the multiple supported axle ensuring reliable rewind in odd positions or dirty situations.

Available in pressure ranges up to 5000 PSI, and dedicated hose solutions such as Suction hose, DEF hose, Gasoline or Fuel hose, the XTM is the solution for your high demand applications where you simply need the best of the best.

As the industry leader in hose, cord and cable reels, Coxreels is making a commitment to provide our customers with the ultimate and most complete, diverse line of reels and reeling accessories. For more information on Coxreels and our new Hi-Vis Hose Series, please visit www.coxreels.com.

According to a report from The Times and Democrat, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held in Ernhardt, South Carolina for the new Rivers Bridge Fire Substation, which is expected to act as a prototype for other facilities.

In 2018, Bamberg County resident Ted Brandt donated the property used to build the substation. The county has since worked to secure a low-cost United States Department of Agriculture loan with the help of 6th District Congressman Jim Clyburn and U.S. Senator Tim Scott to construct the new facility.

A socially distanced crowd gathered in the bay of the new fire station and heard Bamberg County Administrator Joey Preston, Al Jenkins, Scott’s regional director, Larry Haynes, and Clint Carter all speak. Also in attendance were Bamberg County Council members, Ehrhardt Police and Fire Chief Chad Dilling, and Bamberg County Fire Coordinator Paul Eubanks.

The county is currently working on plans to build a similar fire substation in the Holman’s Bridge area of Denmark on Charleston-Augusta Highway. A new pumper truck will be purchased in 2021 in accordance with the Bamberg County equipment-replacement plan.

Firefighters are battling a massive house fire early Friday morning. The fire started around 2 a.m. at a duplex on Montgomery Drive near New World Drive. Firefighters arrived to find flames shooting up through the roof of the house, which was nearly fully engulfed. The strong winds made the fire more difficult for firefighters to get it under control.

On Broadway, just south of Lincoln, is another Wichita landmark that is hidden in plain sight: the Kansas Firefighters Museum. The museum is small in size but uses the space wisely. The walls, ceilings — every square inch, it seems — is full of memorabilia. There are photos, plaques, logbooks and, best of all, old fire equipment.

Yes, Stipe Miocic still works as a firefighter when he is not fighting inside the UFC octagon. The current UFC heavyweight champion is a long-running member of the Oakwood and Valley View Fire Departments in his hometown Ohio, where he works as a dedicated firefighter and a paramedic. Over the years, many have cast doubt over his ability to balance the two professions, but Stipe Miocic has proved them all wrong by giving his best to both his careers and not compromising with either.
