Static Discharge Grounding Cord Reels - Industrial Electrostatic Bonding & Control
In petroleum, chemical, and aviation environments, uncontrolled static charge is an ignition source. KH Industries static discharge grounding cord reels provide a retractable equipment-to-ground bonding path, engineered to meet industry static grounding standards. Custom configurations available. USA-manufactured for over 65 years.

Static Discharge Grounding Cord Reel Series
Our static discharge grounding cord reels provide a retractable equipment-to-ground bonding path at the point of use. Built to support NFPA 77 and API RP 2003 practices, these reels help dissipate static buildup for applications where electrostatic discharge must be controlled, including:
How to select the right static discharge grounding reel
Three factors determine the right static discharge grounding cord reel for your application: cable and clamp configuration, ground-path continuity, and mounting and payout. Choosing the correct combination improves safety, reliability, and standards compliance.
Cable & Clamp Configuration
Select a grounding cable and clamp rated for the equipment and surfaces you need to bond - drums, tank trucks, railcars, aircraft, or intermediate bulk containers. Clamp jaw style and cable length should reach the bonding point without strain, and establish clean metal-to-metal contact.
If your operation bonds a mix of equipment types, KH Industries can help recommend an appropriate cable and clamp configuration for your process.
Ground-Path Continuity & Standards
A grounding reel is only effective if it maintains a continuous, low-resistance path from the bonded equipment to the designated grounding point. Recognized practice for controlling static in flammable and combustible operations is set by NFPA 77 and API RP 2003, and site or customer specifications may add further requirements.
Where continuity verification or ground-monitoring is required, confirm the configuration with KH Industries before specifying, so the correct clamp, cable, and any monitoring interface are matched to your standard.
Mounting & Payout
Static discharge grounding reels are available with ratchet-lock or constant-tension payout, and the choice matters for your application. Ratchet locks the grounding cable at a fixed working length, helping reduce trip hazards at fixed bonding stations.
Constant tension keeps the cable retracted and managed for mobile bonding, tank truck racks, and loading positions. Ceiling, wall, and bench mounting are available to suit the installation.
When the environment is the risk, spec the right static grounding reel
KH Industries static discharge grounding cord reels are engineered to provide a reliable equipment-to-ground bonding path in petroleum, chemical, and aviation environments. Built to support NFPA 77 and API RP 2003 practice, USA-manufactured, and available in standard or custom configurations. If you don't see exactly what you need, KH Industries can configure it to your specs.
Yes. If a standard configuration doesn't fit your application, KH Industries can configure a reel with the appropriate cable length, clamp style, mounting arrangement, or bonding interface for your operating environment. Whether you're matching an existing specification or designing a new installation, our engineering team can recommend or build a solution that meets your operational requirements. Request a Custom Solution to start.
Yes. Many static discharge grounding reels are available as individual units for evaluation before a larger purchase. If you're qualifying a reel for a facility rollout or multi-site installation, our team can recommend an appropriate configuration and discuss the best evaluation approach for your application.
Coated wire rope provides added visibility and a protective jacket, making it a practical choice in high-traffic areas where cable visibility and abrasion resistance are important. Uncoated wire rope is often selected where a bare steel cable is preferred. Both options use stranded steel wire designed to provide reliable grounding continuity during repeated extension and retraction cycles. KH Industries can recommend the best option based on your operating environment.
Standard static discharge grounding reels are available with 25 ft and 50 ft cable lengths. If your required working distance falls outside those ranges, KH Industries can configure a custom cable length for your application. Sharing the mounting location and the distance to the bonding point helps ensure the reel is sized correctly.
Yes. KH Industries provides product sell sheets, installation manuals, and CAD/2D drawings to support engineers, specifiers, and maintenance teams during product selection. If you need documentation for a specific reel configuration, request a quote and the team will include what you need.
Grounding and bonding are closely related but serve different purposes. Bonding equalizes electrical potential between conductive objects, while grounding provides a path to the designated grounding system. Static discharge grounding reels are commonly used as part of a complete grounding and bonding process for fuel transfer, chemical handling, and other applications where static electricity must be safely controlled.
Need a custom static discharge grounding reel built to spec?
If standard configurations don't cover your application - non-standard cable length, a specific clamp or bonding interface, a unique mounting requirement, or a facility-specific certification - the KH Industries engineering team can configure or build a custom static discharge grounding cord reel to your exact specification.
