01 Overview

What is a cable reel trailer?

A cable reel trailer — also called a cable drum trailer or spool trailer — is towable equipment that carries a loaded cable drum to the work site and lets the crew unwind, or pay off, the cable under control. The drum sits on a spindle between two arms and is lifted clear of the ground, so it turns freely while cable is drawn off.

Built around a steel chassis, the trailer keeps the drum’s weight balanced over the axle for stable towing. A hydraulic system raises and lowers the drum without a crane, mechanical locks hold it in place during transport, and road-going models add brakes, lights and reflectors for travel between jobs — faster loading, far less manual handling, and protection for both the cable and the crew.
