Product details

Spin, pull and dispense, off the floor

Cable racking stores drums and spindles on a horizontal axle, so cable pulls off cleanly and reels stay organised and accessible.

It mounts into selective pallet racking, so you can run a dedicated cable bay or integrate it within an existing run. Two mounting styles cover everything from light reels to heavy industrial drums. Built to Australian Standard AS 4084.

FAQs

Common questions

What's the difference between front and centre mounted?
Front-mounted suits lighter reels, up to 500kg, max 4267mm high, with an 80kg pull-load limit. Centre-mounted is the heavy-duty option, holding up to 1800kg per level and reaching 7315mm high. The choice comes down to drum weight and storage height.
Does it work with my existing racking?
Yes, cable racking is built into selective pallet racking, so it can run as a dedicated cable bay or be integrated within an existing run. Centre-mounted suits 838mm deep racking.
How far can I pull the cable?
Both types are designed for loads to be pulled no more than 1.5m from the front of the rack. On front-mounted, the pull force must not exceed 80kg.
How heavy can the drums be?
Front-mounted spindles hold up to 500kg per drum. Centre-mounted handles up to 1800kg per set, suitable for large industrial cable drums.
