Adept Direct Cable Drum Channels

For electrical installations, particularly those involving large-scale cabling, it is critical that cable handling is efficient and safe. Engineered in Australia, Adept Direct’s Cable Drum Channels are designed to provide a robust solution for managing heavy cable reels with precision and ease.

Built to accommodate cable reels up to 1000 kg in weight and 1000 mm in width, these channels support reels with diameters ranging from 600–1800 mm. Each set comprises two heavy-duty nylon rollers mounted on a stabilising bar, so that the drum remains centred during cable payout. The rollers are equipped with free-wheeling heavy-duty bearings, facilitating smooth and rapid unrolling of cables. A shallow ramp at one end allows for easy loading of large cable reels, while front rollers feature a locking mechanism to assist in rolling the cable drum back off the rollers once cabling is complete.

The channels are finished in a high-visibility Safety Yellow powder coat, enhancing site safety. Thumbscrews secure the channels onto the galvanised stabiliser axle, aligning them precisely with the flanges of the cable drum. For added convenience, these channels can be paired with Adept Direct’s Forklift Cable Drum Attachment, enabling efficient loading and unloading of cable drums using a forklift or tele-handler.
