A portable hose reel assembly comprising a wheeled frame structure rotatably supporting a hose reel structure by a shaft assembly communicating water under pressure to a hose to be wound on the hose reel structure. The frame structure comprises a pair of molded plastic three-cornered side frames and four blow molded plastic members rigidly interconnected therebetween by grooved ends snapped into tabbed sockets. The hose reel structure comprises a pair of reel end structures having integral hub portions and two semi-cylindrical hub parts movable in opposed radial directions into an operative position with respect to the hub portions in hose coil load transmitting relation to one another. The end walls of the hub portions and the ends of the hub parts include integral interengaging elements which serve to retain the reel and structures and hub parts in operative position when moved therein.
