Customized Wooden Wire Reel Drum for Wire and Cable Production Line

The table contains some examples of standard dimensions.All dimensions are given in millimetres.

Wooden Cable Drum is a core tool used in the electrical, telecommunications, and construction industries for storing, transporting, and deploying cables. Its design, application, and advantages can be summarized as follows:

1、 Core Features

Material and Structure

Using sustainably managed wood (compliant with ISPM-15 standards) to ensure environmental compliance.

Cylindrical design, consisting of circular flaps on both sides and a central axis (core). The diameter of the flaps is usually 300mm to 1000mm or more, and the diameter of the central axis is 36mm to 48mm, which can accommodate cables of different specifications.

Some models use plywood baffles to reduce weight and improve cost-effectiveness, making them suitable for disposable packaging scenarios.

physical property

Lightweight: Compared to steel cable reels, wooden structures are easier to handle and reduce labor costs.

Durability: After moisture-proof and anti-corrosion treatment, it can be reused multiple times to extend its service life.

Carrying capacity: The single disc can carry up to 100kg to several hundred kilograms, meeting industrial grade requirements.

2、 Core application scenarios

Power industry

Used for storing and transporting high-voltage cables and low-voltage distribution lines, protecting cables from mechanical damage.

As a temporary support structure for cable deployment in substation construction and power grid renovation projects.

Telecommunications industry

Standardized packaging units for fiber optic cables and copper cables ensure signal integrity during long-distance transportation.

Used in conjunction with fiber fusion splicers to achieve rapid deployment and fusion splicing of optical cables.

Architecture and Engineering

Temporary wiring at the construction site, such as tower crane power supply and construction lighting cable management.

Temporary power/network deployment for large-scale events such as music festivals and sports events.

Industrial manufacturing

Cable supply system in automated production lines, such as flexible cable storage for robot arms.

Pre assembly and transportation of cables for heavy equipment such as ships and aviation.

3、 Technical advantages

environmentally

The recycling rate can reach up to 90%, and the waste can be regenerated into wood chips or biomass fuel through crushing, pressing, and other methods.

Compared to plastic cable reels, production energy consumption is reduced by 60% and carbon emissions are reduced by 45%.

economic

The cost of a single plate is 30% -50% lower than that of steel models, making it suitable for medium to short distance transportation scenarios.

Standardized design (such as DIN46397, IEC 60269) reduces inventory management complexity.

Operational convenience

Both manual and mechanical forklifts can be operated and adapted to different logistics environments.

Can be equipped with brake devices or detachable baffles to enhance deployment flexibility.
