Cable Reel Rollers vs. Jack Stands

Safety and effectiveness are the most critical elements when working with industrial cable reels and spools. Both depend on the correct equipment. For utility providers, electricians, and distribution warehouses handling orders to cut-to-length, that requires deciding between reel stand jacks and reel rollers or a mix of both. Each of these items performs the same function: holding cable reels in place, allowing employees to pull wire lengths for installations, or completing orders that are in line with customer specifications. 

Reel jack stands complete this with two freestanding jacks that are required to be correctly placed and properly balanced. Spindles are inserted into the middle of the reel, then placed on the jack stands, and then raised up to the same height to allow the reel to rotate freely. Like their namesake, the cable drum rollers utilize high-quality steel rollers that allow the reel on top to move freely. They aren’t mandatory. However, they’re recommended to use with tie-down kits that are safe. This piece of equipment isn’t challenging from a technical point of view. However, in most instances, properly-equipped reel rollers have substantial advantages over stand-up jacks. To comprehend why it’s essential to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each choice.

The cold weather can render cables challenging to pay out, which could lead to injuries to the product and ergonomic problems. Because cable rollers can be moved and set up quickly as well, it is possible to set them up in a short time. 

The advantages of Reel Jack Stand are that a majority of sites, reel jacks distribute larger cable reels since they’re relatively low-cost, easy to use, and user-friendly. One of the most significant advantages of the jack stands is their ability to handle spools with low weights. As workers near the close of a cable run the rolling machine, the spool could break off to the roll, creating a safety risk. 

This isn’t an issue if the spool is heavy. However, it’s something to consider when working using spools made of lighter materials. However, companies that utilize cable reels can select models with tie-down kits to avoid this risk. 

If adequately tied down, the reel rollers will provide quicker and more secure payouts with no additional risk. Tying down a roller with a tie-down kit isn’t a significant addition to the setup time. Jack stands are also employed to work with any size reels; however, this isn’t a benefit in most applications.
