Product Information

Full details

The SecureFix Direct Electric Fencing Geared Reel is designed for farmers and landowners managing livestock or needing to establish temporary or permanent electric fences. Its primary benefit is the 3:1 gear ratio, which significantly speeds up the process of spooling and unspooling electric fence rope, tape, or wire, reducing installation and removal time. A minor consideration is the maximum capacity for different fencing materials, requiring users to be aware of the limits for optimal use. This robust reel features a durable construction, an integrated guide to prevent tangles, and a comfortable ergonomic handle, making fence management more efficient and less labor-intensive.

FAQs

What is the benefit of a geared reel over a standard one?

A geared reel, like this one with a 3:1 ratio, allows the drum to rotate three times for every single turn of the handle. This means you can spool and unspool your electric fencing material much faster and with less physical effort compared to a standard, un-geared reel.

Can I use this reel with steel wire?

Yes, the reel can accommodate up to 500M of wire, provided it is compatible with the capacity limits for rope and tape.

How much poly tape can the reel hold?

The reel can hold up to 200M of 20MM wide poly tape, or up to 100M of 40MM wide poly tape.

Is the rope that comes with the reel pre-installed?

Yes, the 500M of 2MM White Electric Fence Rope is pre-filled on the reel, so it is ready for immediate use.

How do I mount the reel to a fence post?

The reel features an integrated design that allows it to be mounted securely onto a fence post for stability during operation.

What are the dimensions of the reel?

The reel has a height of 260MM, a width of 345MM, and a length of 320MM. The handle length is 110MM.

How resistant is the reel to weather?

The reel is constructed from tough, UV-resistant plastic and a galvanized steel frame, making it durable and able to withstand various outdoor elements.

Troubleshooting

Reel handle is stiff or difficult to turn

Check for any debris or obstructions around the gear mechanism or guide. Ensure the fencing material is not tangled. If persistent, a light lubrication on external moving parts might be needed (avoiding direct gear contact).

Fencing material is not spooling evenly

Ensure the integrated guide is properly aligned. Distribute the fencing material evenly across the drum as you wind it. Avoid forcing the handle if resistance is met.

Locking ratchet system is not holding

Inspect the ratchet mechanism for dirt or damage. Ensure it is fully engaged. If damaged, contact customer support for replacement parts.

Reel feels unbalanced when full

This is normal due to the weight of the fencing material. Ensure the reel is securely mounted to a stable surface or post before operating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Speeds up fence installation and removal significantly due to the 3:1 gearing.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity in outdoor environments.
  • Prevents tangles and twists with the integrated guide.
  • Comfortable to use with an ergonomic handle and mounting option.
  • Reliable performance with an enclosed, protected gear mechanism.
  • Includes pre-filled rope for immediate use.

Cons

  • Capacity limitations for wider poly tapes (max 100M for 40MM tape).
  • Gear mechanism, while enclosed, may still require occasional inspection.
  • Heavier than basic un-geared reels due to steel frame and gearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The reel comes pre-assembled and, in the case of the provided model, pre-filled with 500M of electric fence rope. To set up a new fence line, attach the end of your chosen fencing material (rope, wire, or tape) to your fence posts using appropriate insulators and connectors. Begin unspooling the material by turning the handle. For continuous runs, ensure the fencing material is compatible with the reel's capacity.

Compatibility: This reel is designed to work with most standard electric fencing materials. It has specific capacity limits:

  • Up to 500M of 2MM Poly Rope or Wire.
  • Up to 200M of 20MM Poly Tape.
  • Up to 100M of 40MM Poly Tape.

Care: To ensure longevity, periodically wipe down the reel, especially the handle and frame, with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Inspect the integrated guide for any blockages. While the gear mechanism is enclosed, avoid submerging the reel in water. Store in a dry place when not in use for extended periods to protect the materials from extreme weather. Check the locking ratchet system periodically to ensure it functions correctly.
