We’re excited to share that the Tuff Terrain Compact Air Hose Reel has officially been awarded a 2025 Australian Good Design Award in the Product Design Automotive and Transport category.

This award is a huge milestone for Tuff Terrain. It confirms that the Compact Air Hose Reel is not only tough and practical but also a recognised example of world-class design...
Why the Compact Air Hose Reel Took the Win
Judges assessed entries against three main criteria: design quality, innovation, and impact. The Compact Air Hose Reel impressed because it delivers on all three:
- Good Design – A compact, full aluminium body with a smooth hose guide and secure lock system.
- Innovation – A 7-metre EPDM rubber hose with a protective nylon braid, quick-connect fittings, and multiple mounting options.
- Impact – A product that saves space, reduces setup time, and makes air hose management simple for 4WDers, tradies, and weekend adventurers.
The panel commended the reel for being compact yet highly functional, offering a simple solution to a problem every 4WDer knows well: messy, hard-to-manage air hoses.
