Importance Of Cable Drum Frames

By Belinda Norbert


Sizes of cable drums are not all the same. The cable drum or reel is the circular object like the spool which contains different varieties of electric wires. The drum is used in the industry for the transport of almost all wirings. Reels are usually made of hardwood, plywood, steel, and hard plastic.

These heavy cylinders should be handled carefully. Frames must prop up the drums which should be stable while being transported. If not, the drums may roll down and cause damages to the drums or injuries to people.

Heavy cable drums should be stacked up well so the cylinders will not roll down from the scaffolds and lead to accidents. Put a label on the drums so you will not find it hard to identify the cable.

This is another importance function of the frame because it keeps the drum above pools of water. These bins should also be tied securely to the frames.

Look for a smooth and dry surface like concrete for storage. This prevents the possible sinking of cable drum and frame due to its intense weight.

There are many suppliers of handling equipment for cable drums. These consist of drum frame stands, lifting sets, hydraulic jacks, ramps and drum trolley. Be sure that you get in touch only with reputable suppliers. This will guarantee that your workers and cable drums are protected from unexpected occurrences at all times.
