Answer from Ningbo Changshi: A cable drum roller stand is a specialized, low-profile stand that uses rollers to support the drum. Instead of using a spindle through the center, the drum sits directly on the rollers, which allow it to rotate.

You should use a cable drum roller stand when:

• Space is limited: The compact, low-to-the-ground design is ideal for use in tight spaces, such as inside buildings or in confined areas of a substation.

• The drum is smaller and lighter: They are best suited for smaller to medium-sized drums that can be manually lifted onto the stand.

• Portability and speed are key: They are generally lighter and easier to set up than hydraulic jacks, making them a great option for jobs that require frequent relocation.

While they may not have the lifting power of a hydraulic jack, roller stands offer a simple, safe, and efficient solution for a wide range of everyday cable pulling tasks.
