Cable transportation

EA LOGISTIC: Secrets of Efficient Cable Product Transportation

In today’s electrical world, cable is the key element that ensures the flow of electricity in all technical systems. Cable products are diverse: power and network cables, electrical wires, and items for telecommunications.

Cable transportation is a responsible task that requires knowledge of rules and regulations, as well as transport handling skills.

Transportation of Cable Reels: Features and Methods

Cable is usually stored and transported using reels made of wood, metal, or high-strength plastic. A central hole is provided for easy installation, transport, and usage.

Transporting reels is rather specific — it involves a number of rules, standards, and requirements:

• Use of specially equipped vehicles with anti-tilt systems and consideration of reel parameters and weight.
• Possibility of vertical installation for effective transportation and protection against damage and displacement of cable layers.
• Use of special rigging tools during loading/unloading.
• Reliability of fastening elements: use of straps, clamps, brackets, stops, and spacers.
• Protection from environmental factors (rain, snow, hail, wind, scorching sun) and temperature fluctuations.

A key factor in transporting cable reels is maintaining a safe speed to avoid tipping. The recommended transport speed limit is 80 km/h.

The terms «reel» and «drum» for winding cable are interchangeable. However, a drum usually implies a more robust and reinforced structure, equipped with protective elements and high insulation against external influences, overheating, or even explosions. Drums may also have unwinding devices (winch, brake).

Transporting cable in drums simplifies loading/unloading, saves space, improves fixation, and provides enhanced protection.

Logistics Company Requirements for Transporting Reels

Transporting cable drums and reels requires high qualifications, sufficient experience, and deep knowledge of international regulations and transport rules. A mandatory condition is the presence of specialized transport and equipment for cable transportation.

It is also essential to comply with labeling, protection, and fastening standards, insurance, and customs clearance.
