Heavy reels on job sites can be incredibly difficult to manage in a safe and effective manner. Most job sites rely on more traditional equipment like forklifts which can pose safety risks, and increase both manpower needs and additional costs. At ESA Fabrication, we saw the need for a solution that would revolutionize wire reel handling. Which is why we developed the Spool Boss™ – available in both wide and narrow models. The Spool Boss™ is a patented innovation designed to improve efficiency, safety and cost-effectiveness. Discover how the Spool Boss™ Narrow and Spool Boss™ Wide offer innovative, research-driven options for any job site.
Why Efficient Wire Reel Handling Matters
To ensure projects remain on time and within budget, it is essential to streamline workflows on job sites. When workflows are maintained by old school reel handling methods, which typically rely on bulky equipment or multiple people, the process is then slowed down and unnecessary risks are more prevalent. Improper reel handling can also cause safety hazards, high labor costs and a decrease in productivity which would be detrimental to any project. The Spool Boss™ was created to face these common issues head-on by reducing the need for extra equipment and manpower, ultimately saving both time and money.
Spool Boss™ Narrow – Built for Tight Spaces
The Spool Boss™ Narrow is specifically designed to maneuver through more limited spaces within a job site without sacrificing power. With its zero-turn radius made to navigate narrow hallways and the ability to fit through standard 3-foot doorways, the Spool Boss™ Narrow is the most ideal solution for compact job site environments.
Key features include;
- Zero-turn radius: Navigate easily in tight spaces.
- 6,500 lb capacity: Handle heavy reels without strain.
- Hydraulic system: Lifts and positions reels seamlessly.
- Built-in braking system: Provides stability and safety during operation.
See how the Spool Boss™ Narrow can improve job site efficiency and safety by making it easy to load, unload, and move reels through restricted spaces.
Spool Boss™ Wide – Maximizing Efficiency for Large Reels
The Spool Boss™ Wide is the recommended choice for projects using larger reels. This powerhouse solution is capable of handling reels up to 60 inches in diameter and weighing up to 6,500 lbs. This model is optimal for large job sites and distributor wire rooms.
It features;
- 50” throat: Easily lifts reels off pallets.
- Integrated hydraulic and braking systems: Ensures precise control and stability.
- Zero-turn radius: Enables maneuverability in larger spaces.
The Spool Boss™ Wide is engineered to meet and exceed the demands of most high-volume jobs where larger reels are typically being managed. Choosing this innovative solution ensures a rise in productivity and safety.
Key Differences Between Spool Boss™ Narrow and Spool Boss™ Wide
Each of the Spool Boss™ models take away the need for outdated wire reel handling equipment like forklifts and reel stands. While they’re both great cutting-edge solutions, they each have standout features designed to conform to various unique job site needs.
- Spool Boss™ Narrow: Compact and perfect for navigating small spaces with ease.
- Spool Boss™ Wide: Optimized for handling larger reels in distributor or large job site settings.
With the implementation of just one Spool Boss™, companies can replace up to 10 A-frames and significantly cut labor costs, with case studies indicating up to an 83% reduction in overall labor expenses.
