Abstract
A portable hose reel cart comprises a cart frame, a rotatable reel, and wheels secured to said frame. The frame comprises a handle portion, a support portion, and a pair of angled intermediate portions disposed on opposite sides of the frame and connecting the handle and support portions. The reel is secured to the frame and adapted for rotation about an axis intersecting the intermediate portions, and the wheels are adapted to form with the support a stable base for the frame. The resultant cart is movable to a first stable and generally upright reeling position wherein the frame is supported by the wheels and support portion, a second stable and generally horizontal unreeling position wherein the frame is supported by both the handle and support portions with the reel being free for rotation, and a third unstable transporting position wherein the frame is supported essentially by only the wheels of the cart.
