Coiled wire in boxes may work for a short trip across town. But for real logistics – cross-country deliveries, exports, site drops – cable packaging has to be smarter. Twisted, kinked, or tangled cables mean installation delays, product returns, and safety hazards.
Here’s how to keep your cables organized, protected, and easy to unwind on-site.
Why cable packaging matters
Cable and wire products are long, flexible, and easily damaged. When coiled loosely, they shift, bend, and develop tension that turns into knots or kinks during transport.
The solution? Purpose-built cable drums, reels and spools that keep your cables wound tight, clean, and accessible.
At PalletBiz, we produce:
• Wooden cable reels (also known as drums) for medium to heavy-duty spools
• Mixed-material solutions (wood-metal hybrids) for high-strength or reusable packaging
• Spool-ready pallets that integrate directly into your line
• Wooden wedges to support cable drums/materials on the pallets
Whether you’re moving telecom wire, electrical cabling, or large power lines, packaging them on engineered cable drums makes everything faster and safer.
Q: What reel or drum should you choose for your cable?
Always choose a drum or reel size that matches your cable’s length and weight. Too small? You’ll get overhang that snags. Too big? The cable may loosen in transit.
We tailor every reel to the:
• Cable diameter and coil tension
• Total reel weight including packaging
• Handling method (crane, forklift, manual)
And yes – our drums and reels can come with stackable bases or skid-style support for easier movement.
Q: How does reel packaging save time?
Imagine arriving on-site and unrolling 100 meters of cable in seconds – no untangling, no coiling. That’s what reels and drums do.
Installers save time. There’s less repacking. Fewer trips back to the depot. And cables stay clean and dry until use.
Plus, cable drums reduce waste. Cables that arrive kinked or dirty often get discarded. With better packaging, your product goes straight from truck to trench.
Q: What about export and moisture control?
Our wooden cable drums and reels are available in heat-treated or composite versions that meet ISPM-15 export standards. We also offer:
• Weather-resistant coatings
• Closed drum ends
• Plastic wrap or shrink options to reduce moisture
That’s especially useful for maritime shipping or long warehouse storage.
Let’s eliminate cable chaos
Cable packaging is a supply chain issue – and one we know how to solve. We build the reels, drums, spools, and pallets that keep your product moving without tangles, delays, or complaints. Your cables deserve better than a cardboard box. Let’s talk drums and reels.
