Hydraulic Cable Reel Stand for Heavy-Duty Payoff in Transmission Line Construction

Product Overview

At stringing sites, hoisting a fully loaded cable drum onto wooden blocks is slow and risky, and an unrestrained reel can spin out of control once the line starts to run. The SI series hydraulic reel stand removes both headaches: its hydraulic cylinders lift the drum clear of the ground in seconds, while an optional foot-operated brake lets the crew dial in the payout speed and keep tension steady as the conductor feeds off the reel. The six models span 50KN to 300KN rated loads and take drums from 2400mm to 5000mm diameter, 1600-3100mm wide, with spindle bores of 76-200mm. Built for repeated duty on transmission, substation and underground cable jobs, the stand travels between reel positions on its own wheels, so a small crew can reposition it without calling for a crane.

Technical Specifications

Applications

· Stringing conductors between towers on overhead transmission routes

· Laying underground cables in urban distribution grids and industrial zones

· Feeding cables for wind farm and solar plant grid connection

· Installing high-voltage cables inside substations and switchyards

Product Advantages

· Hydraulic Cylinder Lifting — Loaded drums rise off the ground through hydraulic force rather than manual jacking, so setup takes minutes and field crews avoid heavy lifting.

· 50-300KN Rated Capacity — Six models from SI-5 to SI-30 cover every common drum size, holding reels up to 5000mm diameter and 3100mm width with headroom to spare.

· Controlled Braking Option — The optional foot brake governs reel rotation during unreeling, preventing free spin and protecting the cable from abrasion.

· Self-Propelled Mobility — Mounted on bottom wheels, the stand can be rolled from one drum position to another by one or two workers, no crane required.

· Broad Spindle Bore Range — The 76-200mm spindle bore accepts wooden, steel and plastic drum hubs commonly found on the market.

· Minimal Maintenance — The robust steel frame and simple hydraulic system keep upkeep light even on continuous project schedules.
