Custom Built Reeling Systems
 
Monospiral Reels
Monospiral cable reels are designed to stack cable in a single, multiple-layer configuration. They are the solution to applications involving large cables or hoses where lateral space is limited - this compact design, together with proven reliability, make monospiral reels ideal for demanding service in any environment.
 
Monospiral reels are designed to handle a variety of cables for power or control and will be designed for low, medium or high speed requirements. The monospiral design allows the reel itself to act as a cable guide. Separate cable guides are easily installed when necessary.
 
A variety of drives are available including Electric Torque Motors, Permanent Magnet (Hysteresis) or Electro-Magnetic Couplers. We can recommend a drive to best meet your individual need.
 
Reels are shipped complete with internal wiring and junction boxes to minimize job site costs. Cable can be installed at the factory and tested before shipment to save time and expense at the job site.
 
Each reel is custom designed using information that you supply to us regarding your specific application.
 
Heavy Duty Levelwind Reels
 
Levelwind Reels
Levelwind cable reels are designed to handle cable with a single-layer wrap, side by side method. They are the solution to applications involving very long cables or hoses.
 
Levelwind reels are designed to handle a variety of cables for power or control and will be designed for low, medium or high speed requirements. Cable guides are standard to ensure accurate storage and payout of cable.

PowerTrak® Systems for Long Travel & High Speed
 
PowerTrak® Systems
PowerTrak systems keep valuable cables and hoses from interfering with machine operation by storing the cables and hoses within itself and moving freely with the machine. One end of the PowerTrak is fixed at the point where the cables/hoses are supplied while the other end moves with the machinery.
 
PowerTrak is made to move in two directions. Therefore, if the cable/hose source is at the center of machine travel, the length of PowerTrak and the length of cables/hoses need only be half of the total machine travel - this offers significant savings.
 
PowerTrak is manufactured from High Strength, Low Alloy Steel, the highest standard in the industry. Smooth operation is achieved through a unique, self-contained lubrication system and exacting tolerances. Machined bar carriers may be interspersed throughout the length of the PowerTrak to provide the best protection for cables/hoses. By placing all cables/hoses, regardless of diameter, on the neutral axis, machined bar carriers keep abuse to a minimum while the PowerTrak is moving. Machined bar carriers are split for easy access to cables/hoses and each hole is machined for the specific diameters of your cables/hoses.
 
I-Beam Festoon Systems
 
Festoon Systems
Festoon systems are a safe, reliable cost-effective method of supplying power and control to moving equipment where overhead space is readily available. Cables/hoses are looped over free-moving trolleys which are installed on an existing I-beam and follow the machinery.
 
Trolley saddle diameters are large enough to safely bend cables/hoses. Rubber compression cable clamp accommodates a wide range of cable/hose sizes, flat or round. Towing forces are placed upon tow ropes NOT the cables/hoses.
 
Running gear comes in many varieties. Steel or nylon wheels may be ordered and anti-lift rollers are typical. Independent wheel brackets permit quick servicing of the running gear without removing the trolley from the I-beam. Rubber bumpers keep trolleys from colliding with one another.
 
Pre-assembly of the system (additional cost) is recommended. It is then a simple process to roll the entire system off of the shipping I-beam onto your own.
