Questions we get asked
What is a cable drum roller?
A cable drum roller is a low, flat turntable that sits under a cable drum or coil so it spins as you pull, letting one person pay cable out or wind it back without a drum stand or jacks. We stock the Runpotec X-BOARD XB300 (drums up to 300kg) and XB500 (drums up to 800kg and 500mm across).
Runpotec XB300 or XB500: which do I need?
The XB300 is the compact one, 1.26kg, for small and mid-sized drums up to 300kg. The XB500 takes heavy drums up to 800kg and 500mm across, and has a height-adjustable lid to hold loose coils and pipe. Both work with damaged drums and have rubber feet that protect finished floors.
Can the XB500 unwind loose coils as well as drums?
Yes. It handles drums, loose coils and pipe, and can unwind two coils at once; the height-adjustable lid stops loose cable springing off.
