Abstract
A hydraulically powered, hose winding apparatus comprises a support and a hose reel rotatably mounted on the support. A hose is operatively coupled to the hose reel whereby the hose winds about the hose reel when the hose reel is rotated in a first direction. Rotation of the hose reel is driven by a cooperating valve mechanism and gear mechanism. The valve mechanism includes a turbine which is rotated by pressurized fluid flowing through the valve mechanism. The turbine is coupled the gear mechanism which transmits rotary motion from the turbine to the hose reel.
