Cables form an integral part of many applications, especially if they supply the power that makes the work you and your team complete possible.
Understandably, damaged or tangled cables pose financial, not to mention health and safety risks to your business. Industrial cable reels help to keep your cables protected and in good working order, making them a necessity for any industrial process which requires cabling during construction, installation or maintenance works.
As leading suppliers of cable hose and reeling drums in the UK here at Metreel, here is an overview of what industrial cable reels are, along with the many benefits they provide.
Cable Reels: An Overview
Cable reels are cylindrical shaped spools capable of carrying different types of industrial wires. Cable reels give the ability for cables to be safely and neatly wrapped around the spool shape while allowing for the cable to be deployed and retracted again as needed.
For anyone who is familiar with a domestic extension reel, industrial reels follow a similar concept. However, the spool tends to stand vertically off the ground to give a clearance underneath, rather than laying flat on the ground as with a household version. The larger sizes of an industrial cable reel also mean all manner of industries can use them.
Industrial cable reels can be custom made with your specific industry requirements in mind, not just in terms of spool design or maximum cable length, but also the ability to have a portable or collapsible cable reel. In addition, here at Metreel we can also powder coat your cable reel so that it offers maximum longevity, whilst also matching your brand colours.

Industries including construction, chemical plants, manufacturing and wastewater all use industrial chemical reels. The exact type which will suit your industry and application type can be determined by us to ensure maximum user safety and satisfaction.
If you are an existing user of cable reels, updating your equipment provides the perfect opportunity to remedy any pain points with your existing setup. So be sure to consider everything you want to achieve with any potential cable reeling purchases.
