  • About Cable Reels

    Electric cable reels store long cables in a permanent location, reducing wasted space and eliminating trip hazards. Instead of lining your floors, they can be neatly attached to a wall, ceiling, or floor to provide you with an extending cable in a convenient way whenever it is needed. With the right choice, electric extension lead reels can massively increase the lifespan of your cable whilst improving safety and convenience.

    Many types of extension cord reels exist, with different kinds of retraction methods suitable for different locations. Manual rewind, spring rewind, and power rewind options (using compressed air, hydraulic or electric power). For controlled retraction, slow rewind reels are available too, which ensure safer cable handling and prevent whipping.

    Many cable reels usually come with brackets, allowing you to choose the best mounting option for your space. Options range from attaching to walls, ceilings, floors, benches, pedestals, wheels, or even vehicles. This flexibility means that they can be positioned or mounted in the most convenient and functional place possible to serve you when needed. They are even an ideal addition to the office, where customers have mounted the reel to a trolley system in the roof to provide them with electricity anywhere within the room!

    Key Considerations When Buying Cable Reels

    Before choosing the best cable reels for your space, consider the following factors to ensure they meet your functional needs:

    Material & Environment

    In what environment will the reel be installed and used in? Indoor, outdoor, marine, hygienic, corrosive, atmosphere or even ATEX..? Each of these environments have their own challenges and requirements.

    Braked Retraction

    Look out for options that have brakes to control the speed at which the cable retracts preventing whipping and accidents.

    Socket Number and Type

    How many sockets does your reel need and what type of connection do you need?

    Length

    How long does your reel need to be in order to accommodate its use case in the installation location?

    Secure Mounting Position

    Be sure to factor this into your decision-making; insufficient mountings can cause ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted reels to fail.
