Engineering Overview
Autoreel’s Cable Drum Jacks are a simple, efficient, and cost-effective method of enabling the payout of cable from large capacity drums.
Cable Drum Jacks comprise a multi-position sliding carriage within a vertical guide mounted on a hydraulically operated lifting jack, all of which is supported by a stable triangular base frame.
The multi-position carriage allows for wide drum diameter adjustments while maintaining minimum jack extension for maximum stability.
