Reels and Storage Frames for Tethers

Storage Reels keep rope and suspension tethers clean and tangle-free and can make it easier for repeated deployment and recovery of equipment and samplers suspended in wells on rope. All EON custom tethers for passive sampling are shipped on reels.

EON offers a large selection of economically priced reels. Reels with removable/replaceable spools are popular because rope can be stored or shipped on a spool and the used by attaching a separate reel-handle to the spool. This is convenient and less costly than multiple complete reel & spool units.

Rope diameter and length determine what size spool is required. The size and price of the reel typically increase as the rope length and diameter increases.

For short rope lengths we have inexpensive "H" shaped frames that are easy to use and store. For repeated deployment and retrieval, we recommend the geared reels that cause the reel to turn several times for each handle turn.

EON customizes many reels for field use by attaching a short cable and loop to which the rope is attached to prevent the free end of rope from spooling off and down the well.
