Installing the Reels

Types of Reel Installations

1. Horizontal Drag

This method involves high spring tensions, which can be challenging for cable and hose durability. If this setup is necessary due to operational constraints, we recommend consulting with our experts to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

2. Vertical Pull

The reel is mounted on a fixed structure and pulls the weight of the suspended cable or hose. Travel length is equal to the reel’s capacity. Ideal for applications where overhead cable management is essential.

3. Vertical Recovery

The reel is installed on machinery to facilitate vertical travel. Unlike vertical pull, it does not bear the weight of the cable/hose. Matches the capacity of horizontal recovery systems. We recommend using a cable grip at the fixed point for additional support.

4. Horizontal Recovery - End Feed<

The reel is mounted on machinery and recovers cables or hoses laid on the ground or in a tray. Available machine travel corresponds to the reel’s capacity. Ensures smooth cable retraction and minimal wear.

5. Horizontal Recovery - Centre Feed

Similar to the end-feed configuration but supports movement on both sides of a fixed anchor point. Utilizes a turnover anchor for extended machine travel, effectively doubling the reel’s capacity. Suitable for dynamic industrial setups requiring flexibility.

6. Horizontal Catenary

The cable/hose remains suspended in the air instead of resting on the ground. Tension from the reel’s spring maintains suspension, reducing wear and tear. Sag levels can be calculated based on cable weight, length, and spring strength.
