Heavy duty cable reeling drums
A fixed power feed system isn’t suitable for every industrial application, which why we stock a large range of cable reel drums.
From small spring-operated single phase supplies to large motor-driven units for high voltage applications, we can provide a solution for virtually any application requiring the automatic winding and unwinding of flexible cables.
Simbal only source high quality products which will last the distance in even the most challenging conditions. All our cable reeling drums are compliant with IP protection ratings, and additional standards can be met on request.
We supply cable reel drums to work with a huge range of cables and hoses. What’s more, we carry many of the most popular spring-operated reeling drums as stock items, along with a range of accessories such as mounting brackets, roller guides and cable stoppers. This generous inventory allows us to provide next-day delivery nationwide for many customer orders.

Motor driven cable reeling drums
ApplicationTypical applications for our motor driven cable reeling drums are ship to shore cranes, container cranes, gantry cranes, water treatment bridges and environmental engineering plants. These drums are available in a large range of sizes offering solutions for most cable sections with payout lengths in excess of 1000m and very high payout speeds.ConstructionMotor driven drums are available in two specific construction types, Monospiral and Cylindrical. Both types are fitted with brass sliprings and copper contact brushes as standard with rhodium or nickel plated options available for signal and data transmissionMonospiral DrumsAs the name suggests, with this design of drum the cable is wound on to the drum in a single layer, this allows free passage of air over the cable hence improving heat dissipation and reducing the need for cable de-rating factors. By utilising a monospiral design it is often possible to select a smaller cable size than would be necessary with a standard cylindrical type drum.Cylindrical DrumsAlthough the use of these drums often means selecting a larger cable section, the multi spiral winding of the cable means that a much smaller drum diameter can be used which can be a critical factor is confined space applications. Cylindrical drums are also the standard solution for short payout lengths where the small number of cable layers avoids the heat dissipation issue.Technical SpecificationCylindrical drums:Drum body from Galvanised steelMonospiral drums:Drum body welded construction, galvanised and/or epoxy painted to required specificationDrive type:Electric or Hydraulic motorsSlipringsBrass (Rhodium or nickel plated sliprings also available)Contact Brushes:Copper (Rhodium or nickel plated sliprings also available)Accessories:Large range available including mounting brackets, roller guides, limit switches etc.Cable type:NSHTOU (Rubber) or PUR sheath drum reeling cablesProtection:IP55 (IP65/IP66 available)Temperature range:-5 deg C to +40 deg C as standard (special high or low temperature available)Cable Sizes:Wide range availablePayout Lengths:Up to 1000m Depending on drum type and cable sizePayout speedsTo customers requirements, very high speeds available on requestName*

Reeling drum accessories
Data Sheet - Cable Anchor Stockings
Data Sheet - Reeling drum accessoriesWe can supply a wide variety of accessories for use with our range of cable reeling drums, the most popular items are described below and shown on the data sheet which can be accessed by clicking the link above.Roller GuidesWe can supply a wide range of cable roller guides from very small guides for light duty applications up to very large heavy duty guides which can incorporate additional features such as slack and tight cable proximity or mechanical limit switchesTurnover AnchorsWe offer a full range of turnover anchors to suit most cable sizes and types including for medium voltage cable up to 24KvCable Anchor stockingsAnchor stockings are available to suit all cable sizes and should always be used on the anchored end of a reeling drum cable. Correct use of the anchor stocking ensures that the strain is taken on the cable sheath and not on the cable coresCable StoppersCable stoppers can be fitted to the cable and when used in conjunction with the correct roller guide will stop the cable from fully retracting when disconnected from the machine. This is particularly useful when cable to machine connection is by plug and socket system.Name*
