The Benefits Of Power Reel Handling Equipment

By Carol Gibson


Sizes and also types of reels are chosen by considering weight, length and diameter of items to be moved. Before you commence moving a cable, it is important to start by comparing its weight and diameter with that of the reels to be used in the course of the movement. You also need to choose the correct power reel handling equipment. This is the only way to ensure that the movement is done in the right way and with no or minimal damages.

There are different kinds of reels. However, all the types are helpful when it comes to transportation of cables. Minimum bending radii vary from one cable to another. It is important for you to know the minimum radius of facility you intend to transport to ensure everything is done correctly and successfully. Correct information will help you make the correct choice.

Wooden drums are commonly used during the movement of industrial cables. They are common near construction sites and in industrial areas. These drums are generally large in size and occur in different types. Steel-tyred is large and strong. They can be used in a variety of environments. Export drums are commonly used when cables or other related facilities are being shipped. Wooden drums are mainly associated with heavy materials such as the industrial cables.

Lighter materials are commonly moved with the help of plywood reels. Other than being light, they are also cheaper compared to other types. These types are commonly used by commercial electricians. Plywood reels are normally made using string and even light-weight wood like poplar. These types of reels are usually discarded after their first use. Plastic reels help during the transportation of small and also light-weight cables. They can be recycled and used in different environments.

Nowadays, many industries prefer using steel drums to the rest. This is because they are not only durable but also efficient. Steel metal is used during their manufacture. In general terms, they are strong and heavy. Moving heavy reels can be challenging especially if the mover does not prepare well. However, with the help of correct material handling moving the aforementioned facilities can be as easy as shelling peas.

Material handling helps in creating place and time utility through storage and control of a variety of materials in warehousing, consumption, disposal, distribution and manufacturing. They play an essential role in logistics, manufacturing industries, retail stores and in warehouses. They are useful in construction industry.

There are various types of material handling. One of these types is the automated handling during which economically and also technically feasible items are applied when certain items are being moved. Most of items placed under this category are generally semi-automated. Human effort is applied during unloading and also loading. Individuals drive and also direct items used in this area.

Knowhow in the fields such as robotic, sensing and machine intelligence is improving day by day. This means that material handling tasks can be automated if appropriate measures are put in place. However, automating such tasks is very expensive and this is why only very few industries have been able to do so.
