Koreel Industrial Reel Solutions
Leveltec is the exclusive Australian and New Zealand distributor for KOREEL AMP and Customised Reel products
KOREEL has established itself as a global leader in the design and manufacture of industrial reels, recognised worldwide for cutting-edge technology, exceptional build quality, and low-maintenance performance.
Operating from state-of-the-art, ISO 9001-certified facilities in Korea, KOREEL takes full ownership of its manufacturing process. Every component within a KOREEL reel — from the drum and slip rings through to the housing and control systems — is designed and produced in-house.
This allows KOREEL to maintain precise quality control at every stage, resulting in products that consistently meet or exceed the most stringent industrial specifications.
Over more than three decades, KOREEL has built a reputation as a trusted supplier to some of the world’s most demanding industries, including mining, port operations, maritime, heavy manufacturing, and bulk material handling. Their products are engineered to perform reliably in the harshest environments on the planet including extreme temperatures, corrosive atmospheres, explosive zones, and high-cycle, continuous-duty applications where failure simply is not an option.
Leveltec, in collaboration with KOREEL, serves as the exclusive distributor of KOREEL’s AMP and Customised Reel products across Australia.

Alternative Marine Power (AMP) Systems
High-Voltage AMP: IEC 80005-1 | Low-Voltage AMP: IEC 80005-3
As ports and shipping terminals around the world move toward shore power solutions to reduce vessel emissions while at berth, KOREEL’s Alternative Marine Power (AMP) systems offer a proven, standards-compliant solution.
KOREEL AMP cable reels are engineered to deliver reliable high-voltage and low-voltage shore power connections between port infrastructure and docked vessels. Designed in accordance with IEC 80005-1 (high voltage) and IEC 80005-3 (low voltage), these systems provide the electrical performance, safety, and operational durability required in demanding port environments.
Key features include motorised retraction, precision cable management, and robust slip ring assemblies capable of handling continuous power transfer at full rated capacity. Whether integrated into fixed berth infrastructure or mobile supply systems, KOREEL AMP reels support efficient, safe, and emissions-reducing port operations.
Applications: container terminals, bulk material ports, cruise terminals, naval facilities, and offshore supply bases.
Water Hose Reels for Stacker Reclaimers
Stacker reclaimers operating in ports and bulk material handling terminals require continuous access to water — for dust suppression, fire safety, and operational cooling. KOREEL’s water hose reels are purpose-designed to meet these demands, providing reliable, consistent hose management on moving equipment.
Engineered to accommodate the long travel distances, heavy cycles, and exposed operating conditions common to stacker reclaimers, these reels feature heavy-duty drum construction, corrosion-resistant materials, and rotary unions capable of sustaining high-volume water flow without leakage or pressure loss.
KOREEL water hose reels have been proven in port and mine site applications where equipment uptime is critical and maintenance access is limited.
Applications: coal and iron ore terminals, mineral processing facilities, port stacker-reclaimer operations, and large-scale bulk handling infrastructure.
Explosion-Proof Cable Reels — IECEx Certified
In hazardous area classifications — such as those commonly encountered in underground mining, oil and gas facilities, chemical processing plants, and grain handling environments — standard electrical equipment is not suitable. KOREEL’s explosion-proof cable reels are IECEx certified, providing the assurance needed to operate safely in zones where flammable gases, vapours, or dusts may be present.
These reels are built to contain any internal ignition source, preventing the risk of external explosion. They are engineered with heavy-duty, certified enclosures, anti-spark slip ring assemblies, and cable management systems designed for the unique demands of hazardous area operation.
With KOREEL’s explosion-proof range, operators can deploy powered equipment and data connections in classified zones without compromising safety or compliance.
Applications: underground coal mines, oil and gas processing facilities, grain storage and handling operations, and chemical manufacturing environments.
Cable Reels with Optical Fibre — High-Voltage and Low-Voltage
Industrial operations increasingly rely on integrated data communication alongside power delivery. KOREEL’s combined power and optical fibre cable reels address this requirement in a single, engineered solution — supplying both electrical power (high-voltage or low-voltage) and fibre optic data transmission through a single reel assembly.
This hybrid approach eliminates the need for separate reels and cable management systems, reducing complexity, footprint, and installation cost. KOREEL’s fibre-integrated reels use precision-engineered optical rotary joints to ensure low-loss, continuous data transmission throughout the full rotation range of the reel — without interruption or signal degradation.
Applications include remote crane control systems, automated stacker reclaimers, CCTV and monitoring networks, and any operation where real-time data communication must accompany the power supply to mobile equipment.
Applications: port cranes, ship-to-shore equipment, mining machinery, process automation systems, and remote monitoring infrastructure.
Cable Reels for Cranes, Heavy Industry, and Mining
From overhead travelling cranes to mobile mining equipment, reliable cable management is fundamental to continuous and safe operation. KOREEL manufactures a comprehensive range of cable reels specifically designed for crane and heavy industry applications — engineered to handle heavy cables across long travel distances, at high cycle rates, and in demanding ambient conditions.
These reels are available in spring-driven, motorised, and festoon configurations to suit a wide range of travel lengths, cable weights, and power requirements. Heavy-duty slip ring assemblies ensure uninterrupted power transfer across all reel positions, while robust drum and frame construction withstands the vibration and shock loads inherent in crane and mining environments.
KOREEL crane and mining cable reels are trusted across Australian and international sites where equipment availability is directly tied to productivity.
Applications: overhead travelling cranes, gantry cranes, ship loaders, ore reclaimers, underground mining equipment, rail-mounted machinery, and heavy manufacturing plants.
Thruster Brake Systems
KOREEL’s thruster brake systems provide reliable, fail-safe braking for industrial machinery operating in demanding conditions. Used extensively in crane, port, and heavy materials handling applications, these electro-hydraulic thruster brakes deliver consistent stopping force, rapid response, and long service life with minimal maintenance.
Designed to integrate seamlessly with KOREEL’s reel systems or as standalone braking solutions, thruster brakes from KOREEL are engineered to meet the precise torque and response requirements of each application. Their robust construction and proven performance record make them a trusted choice where braking reliability is critical to both operational efficiency and personnel safety.
Applications: overhead and gantry cranes, port equipment, hoists, conveyors, and industrial machinery requiring controlled, reliable braking.
Customised Reel Solutions
No two industrial operations are identical — and KOREEL understands that standard products won’t always meet the unique demands of every site or application. That’s why KOREEL offers fully customised reel solutions, designed and manufactured to meet specific client requirements.
Working closely with Leveltec’s engineering team, KOREEL’s design engineers can develop bespoke reel assemblies to accommodate unusual cable types, extreme travel distances, non-standard voltages, specific environmental classifications, or integration requirements with existing equipment.
From concept through to manufacture and commissioning, Leveltec manages the entire customisation process locally, ensuring clear communication, fast response times, and a solution that genuinely fits the application.
