Transport of cable drums in Ukraine and Europe

1. Vertical reel positioning: Prevents the cable reel from tilting and shifting during transport, ensuring stability regardless of mounting.
2. Use of special fasteners and cradles: This ensures that the reel is held securely during transport.
3. Use of a crane to load and unload the cable: this avoids the risk of the cable being dropped and damaged.
4. Individual fixing of each reel: prevents interaction between reels, which could lead to damage during transport.
5. Transport by special vehicles: the load capacity of the vehicle used to transport the cable must exceed normal standards and a bulky goods permit must be obtained.
6. International cable transport: requires compliance with customs procedures, including completion of customs declarations and product quality certificates.

By following these recommendations, JIT Trans ensures safe and efficient transport of cable reels throughout Ukraine and Europe, minimising the risk of damage or incidents.

A cable reel is undoubtedly one of the most efficient and functional tools for transporting cables across Ukraine and Europe. This relatively simple loading device prevents cables from tangling, which is key to their safe transport. Cable drums have been used for many years to transport not only electrical cables but also fibre optic cables and various types of wire and rope. The particular length of these items requires special methods of transport. Their round shape can cause dangerous movement of the cargo in the vehicle, which not only threatens safety but can also damage other cargo. It is therefore important that cable reels are handled with care and attention during transport.

Transporting cable reels is only one stage, as unloading is also crucial. Using the right equipment, such as forklift trucks, cranes or lifts, is a must. The best way to move the reels is to use a fork, with the reels firmly supported on the forks and the flanges facing in the direction of travel. The distance between the forks should be adapted to the size of the reel to ensure stability.

By following these recommendations you will minimise the risks of transporting cable reels across Ukraine and Europe. If you have any further questions, our staff at JIT Trans are always ready to provide you with the necessary assistance and recommend the right type of trailer for your cargo.
