Marshall Excelsior creates hose reel demo vehicle
Marshall Excelsior Co. (MEC) invested in a hose reel truck to bring a working hose reel demo directly to marketers, distributors and truck builders to enable the industry to learn firsthand the benefits of the Excela-Wynd hose reel. Hands-on demonstrations allow industry professionals to use and see how the Excela-Wynd hose reel works. The hose reel was built by Mike Tartaglia, technical support and training supervisor, with the assistance of the MEC engineering staff. Housed in a 2022 Dodge Ram Bighorn Edition, the demo is complete with a digital dial and video monitor displaying Excela-Wynd animation and operation overview videos. The Excela-Wynd truck demo reel can be operated using the BASE ProControl3 or ASK remote. It operates as if it were on the back of a bobtail. MEC is scheduling stops across the country for marketers and distributor events. Marketers may follow MEC on social media to see where the truck will be.
