Custom Auto-Retractable Extension Cord Reel for a South American Customer
A customized auto-retractable extension cord reel order for a South American customer, featuring market-specific plugs, cable length and interchangeable output configurations.
A South American customer required a customized auto-retractable extension cord reel for workshop and maintenance applications.
Instead of supplying a standard off-the-shelf model, we coordinated the reel configuration according to the customer’s target market and intended use.
Customized Cord Reel Configuration
Retractable extension cord reels may require different electrical and mechanical configurations depending on the destination country, working environment and connected equipment.

Available customization options for this product range may include:
- Market-specific plugs and sockets;
- Customized cable lengths;
- Different conductor sizes and cable specifications;
- Working lights and inspection lamps;
- Extension cord outlets;
