Services
Cardboard Reels
Lightweight cardboard reels designed for thin cables and flexible materials. Constructed with ULC board flanges and metal/plastic components, these reels support weights up to 50kg. Available in 120-400mm flange diameters with custom printing options, they provide cost-effective solutions for temporary storage and transportation. Our engineering team optimises configurations for specific winding requirements.
Plywood Reels
Heavy-duty plywood reels for industrial cable applications. Featuring 275-850mm flange diameters with steel tube or timber barrel constructions, these reels handle mid-weight loads. Customisable with MDF/flax components and protective coatings, they offer durability for repeated use. Available in standard sizes or bespoke designs to meet exact dimensional specifications.
Wooden Drums
Heavy-duty wooden drums engineered for large-scale cable storage. Constructed with timber lags and steel tie rods, these drums accommodate flange diameters from 650mm to 5000mm. Designed for permanent installations and bulk transportation, they provide structural integrity for high-tensile cables. Custom configurations available for specialist industrial applications requiring extreme load-bearing capacity.
Reel Components
Individual reel components manufactured to exact specifications. Includes flanges (cardboard/plywood/MDF), metal stampings, tins, cups, and cardboard tubes. Available in standard dimensions or custom sizes with optional features like drive holes and notches. Components supplied separately for self-assembly or replacement purposes across all reel types.
Custom Designs
Tailored reel solutions developed through collaborative engineering. Our team creates purpose-built designs for unique product requirements, incorporating material specifications, load capacities, and environmental considerations. From prototype to production, we deliver custom configurations with technical drawings and dimensional validation to ensure perfect application fit.
