What type of cable jack is best for my project?
The choice between manual, hydraulic, and cable reel jacks depends on the size and weight of the cable drums you're handling. Manual jacks are best suited for smaller, lighter drums, and can easily fit into the back of a small van or estate car. Hydraulic and cable reel jacks provide the power needed for heavier, industrial-sized loads. However, they typically require a truck for site-to-site transport.
What weight capacity do I need for my cable drum jack?
It's important to choose a cable drum jack with a capacity that matches or exceeds the weight of the cable drums you are dispensing from. Each product includes specific capacity details, so you can select the right jack for your project.
What other tools can improve efficiency when using cable drum jacks?
Pairing cable drum jacks with other tools can make your cable installation even more efficient! Cable drum rotators allow for controlled unwinding, while the jacks provide stable support. Adding cable pulling winches gives you the power needed to move cables quickly. Together, these tools streamline the process and reduce strain, making your project more manageable.
