Generally, no - our reels are designed for use from a fixed position; however they can be mounted in multiple ways for the most practical access, such as under a bench, from a ceiling, and also vehicle mounted. Please refer to the manual for mounting positions for your particular reel as there are guidelines relating to maximum mounting heights for effective operation. Sometimes we find people mistake our potable water reel for a portable water reel - we do have a reel for potable (drinking) water, but it is not portable.
