This is the way all steel reels used to be made. Custom sizes and heavy load requirements demand the use of this reel design using structural angles and channels for strength, sheet metal drums and head sheet for the cable bearing areas. This is also the preferred design for use with wire rope. These more expensive reels are preferred when the tooling does not exist for a required size and the volume does not justify the cost of new tooling.
Structural Reels are manufactured to customer’s specification and are available in up to 145 inch diameter. A gas tight design for pipe type cable is also available.
