Improvements In Reel Wire Handling Equipment

By Amanda Young


When you are doing a certain job, it is important that you always have the right equipment for the job. For an electrical contractor, their most important tool is the wire. For a long time, these wire supplies were rolled around drums for storage or even shipping. However, today, they are advanced to plywood or plastic. If you are an electrical engineer, then you always need to be up to date with the current advancements in the reel wire handling equipment. Below are some of the advancements that have been made on these tools.

For packing, the companies have done away with the reels that were conventional. They have now created a lightweight cable that is easy to carry around, yet secure. You can even lay the cylinder flat or put it on carts when you want to use it.

There is an inertia-free way of pulling the wires when you are installing the branch-circuit. The new method is better are you can now push or pull the wire easier as compared to the old way, where one used the heavy spools that were tiring.

You can even now move easily with the cable from one place to another when you use the PullPro package. This package is spool-less, and you can, therefore, use it without the need of using a cart. With this design, the cable is easy to pull from the plastic pack as compared to the large reels. Therefore making the design easy to transport and easier to pull wires from it.

There is also the Reel Payoff, which is self-spinning. This kind of reel is suitable to use for jobs that require being done on a very tight schedule. It has a four-way pallet that can allow you pull of the cable from any side. All you need to do is place the cylinder where you want it, and you do not even need to place it on a jack stand. This leads to saving on the time that you would have otherwise used if you used the other kinds of reels.

Another improvement that has been made is that you now no longer need to use wooden reels when shipping and handling wires. This is because there is now an aluminum cable that can be transported easily in a secure protector that is corrugated. The protector also has a plastic band and covered round using a wrap that stretches.

With all these advancements, you can now do your work faster. It also makes you more efficient, and you no longer have a hard time using cable reels that are cumbersome. With the improvements, carrying and handling of cable is made easier. You also have a variety of the reels that you can choose from depending on the type of work that you are doing at the time and the type of site where the work is.

To be sure that you get the best, you need to take the time to look for a good reel company that will supply you with the best reels. You should check that they have a license of operation which proves that they provide quality reels.
