Cable Reels

Cable reels are spools used to store and carry cables. They keep the cables from getting tangled and they are used in a variety of industries, including industrial, electrical, automotive, fuel, aviation, agriculture, irrigation, firefighting, and more. Cable reels come in a variety of styles and sizes to meet a range of needs.

How to Choose a Cable Reel

When choosing a cable reel, it is important to consider how it will be used. Ask yourself the following questions:

• What type of cable or hose will be on the reel?
• If a hose will be on the reel, what will you put through the hose (air, water, etc.)?
• What is the maximum pressure (in P.S.I.) needed for operation?
• How will you be using the cable or hose? (Will it be stretched, lifted, dragged, or retrieved?)
• How far out will the hose or cable need to retract?
• Is a ball stop required for the application?
• Is an inlet hose assembly needed to connect hose reel and source of supply?
