A cable reel is a drum-shaped spool that carries electrical wire or other types of industrial cables. They are made from wood, plywood, plastic or steel and come in several sizes to meet your needs.
Reel Types The most common reel types are rewind, manual or crank, electric, hydraulic, pneumatic and spring. Reels with a rewind option are a great way to increase productivity and save on storage space by ensuring that a single hose or cable can be used without needing to be rewound multiple times.
Reels are usually sized to fit the maximum amount of cable that can be transported and stored safely on the reel. This is an important consideration, as cables can become tangled and damaged if they are not properly managed.
Rolling systems are ideal for fast, safe transport of high-capacity cable spools, particularly when they're located on narrow aisles or otherwise difficult to maneuver manually. They're also far safer than reel jack stands when used with optional tie-down kits.
Rollers alleviate fatigue and promote correct ergonomics by ensuring that each draw results in a consistent length of cable, regardless of the weight or other circumstances. They're easy to use and set up in seconds, enabling workers to quickly run and pay from high-capacity reels where they're most needed.
