A whole new way to pull wire

Southwire’s SIMpull Solutions® speeds up installation time, creates a safer work environment, and revolutionizes the way you pull cable today!

SIMpull Reel™

A traditional cable pull typically requires a tremendous amount of labour, equipment, and time to move, set up, and pay off feeder cables safely. Southwire's SIMpull™ Reel maneuverable payoff system eliminates the need for additional equipment and makes it possible for one worker to safely and efficiently maneuver a 6,000 lb reel through narrow halls and doorways.

Maneuverable payoff system with independent rotating flanges and a separate rotating inner wheel
Allows one person to move a reel weighing up to 6,000 lbs/2,722kg without the need for pallet jacks and other equipment
Integral magnetic reel chocks and payoff tension adjustment
Significantly easier and safer to move reels throughout the job site
Fits through 32” wide doorways (reel size: 61” H x 30” W)
Can be placed right next to the feed conduit/point

The Paralleling Process

Paralleled and stacked cable reels allow you to combine multiple cable runs onto one single reel. One reel can contain multiple stacks and both copper and aluminum cables. Stacked reels containing multiple pulls are separated by shrink wrap with an easy to pull Texcan Tear Tab for quick removal of the wrap. Our custom tagging system ensures that there's no mistake on where to pull the next cable run. Each stack is marked with length, destination, and customized labeling is available upon request.
