Cable Spooler

A common type of spooling device consists of a shaft which is driven at a speed related to the speed of a drum for reciprocating an assembly on the shaft. Wire rope or the like passes through the assembly and is laid on the drum in uniform layers. It is necessary that the spooling device be capable of absorbing side loads because the rope may be led to the winch at angles other than 90 degrees to the axis of the winch drum.

The multilayer wire rope spooling system has undergone continuous refinement over the years and adapted for any application where long lengths of steel wire ropes must be wrapped in multiple layers quickly and smoothly.
