Why our drums
A drum that fails takes the cable with it.
Balanced and tensioned
Tie-rods torqued and flanges trued so the drum runs straight on the pay-off stand without wobble.
To the cable-maker's drawing
Flange, barrel and arbor sized to the reel — bend radius respected, traverse correct.
Export-ready from Cochin
ISPM-15 stamped where the destination requires it, marked and loaded FOB Cochin for power, telecom and fibre projects abroad.
Questions buyers ask
Plywood cable drums, answered.
What flange sizes do you make?
Plywood cable drums from 600 mm to 3000 mm flange diameter, with the barrel and traverse sized to your cable.
Which cable types are they for?
Power, control, telecom and fibre-optic cable — the barrel diameter is set to respect your cable's minimum bend radius.
Do cable drums need ISPM-15?
The solid-wood arbor and members are treated and marked to ISPM-15 for export by a DPPQS-registered treatment provider where the destination requires it; the plywood flanges are exempt. A treatment certificate is supplied where the quotation states it.
What is the minimum order and how do you ship?
Within India, a full truckload ex-factory from Perumbavoor; for export, one 20 ft or 40 ft container FOB Cochin Port. Part-loads and LCL consolidation are available where the route and quantity allow, confirmed on the quote. Either way, painted and marked to your specification.
