📘 What Are Reel Jacks?
Reel jacks are mechanical lifting devices used to raise and support cable reels during wire pulling, cable installation, and conduit payout operations. These jacks allow reels to rotate safely while maintaining stable support during cable deployment.
Mechanical reel jacks are commonly used for utility construction, underground cable installation, telecommunications projects, and infrastructure maintenance operations where controlled reel handling is required.
