The safe handling of cable drums is paramount. When using cable drum jacks and stands, always ensure they are placed on a firm, level surface and are rated for the combined weight of the drum and cable. The drum shaft must be centered and the jacks placed as close to the drum flanges as possible for maximum stability. It is also a best practice to uncoil the cable from the bottom of the drum to prevent the entire assembly from becoming unstable. Our hydraulic and mechanical drum stands are designed with robust safety features to ensure a secure and efficient operation.
