We are specialists in custom design and manufacturing of Cable Reelers. Our hydraulically driven Cable Reeler allows for quick drum change and is fully remote operated and controlled from inside and outside the cab.

The Cable Reeler and all related components are designed and manufactured to strict safety standards and include a full risk assessment.

Machinery Contractors Cable Reelers can be fitted to a Wheel Loader or Wheel Dozer (Recommended for Wheel Dozers)

Once equipped with the MC Quick Coupler System (Optional), mounting of the Cable Reeler is simple – Drive up and go.

The only need for getting out of the cab is to connect the hydraulic lines required to power the drum.

Machinery Contractors offers 2 Cable Reeler models, suitable for your specific requirements.

CABLE REELER SYSTEM & SAFETY FEATURES

 

  • Rapid reel interchange without ground helper. “Lift & Go” Drive System.
  • Allows partial cable deployment with access to both couplers.
  • Drum sizes to suit cable size and manufacturers specs for bend radius and allowable tension forces.
  • Different drums are compatible with the complete system.
  • Improved efficiency with faster pick up and lay down of cable.
  • Reduced downtime of machines.
  • Reduced cable and coupler damage
  • Fewer support people required thereby reducing labour cost.
  • Prevent electrocution/shock incidents.
  • Fewer ground crew around moving machines thereby reducing risk of injury.
