Product Details
Cable racking is a smart, space-saving solution ideal for storing cable drums, spindles and reels in an organised, vertical format. Commonly used in electrical supply stores, manufacturing facilities and warehouses, it improves accessibility, streamlines inventory management and maximises floor space by keeping bulky or awkwardly shaped items safely stored and easy to handle.
We offer two types of cable racking configurations to suit different load requirements and storage needs:
Centre Mount – Designed for heavier cable drums and higher frame setups
Front Mount – Ideal for lighter loads and compact storage configurations
- Adapted from Apex Selective Pallet Racking
- Designed to store cable drums, reels or spindles vertically
- Increases storage capacity by utilising available height
- Allows fast and safe access to multiple products
- Suits a wide range of drum diameters and sizes
- Built with heavy-duty components for durability and safety
- Fully engineered and designed to meet Australian standards

Front mount overview
Ideal for lighter-duty applications and smaller cable drums.
Features:
- Supports lighter loads up to 500kg per level
- Maximum frame height: 4267mm
- Suits spindle/pipe diameters: up to 48mm OD
- Minimum 2 bays required for setup

Additional Information
All quotes will include the total bay capacities and spindle capacities per level.
To get started, we’ll need to know the following information to provide a tailored quotation;
- Do you require Centre Mount or Front Mounted Cable storage?
- What is the overall racking height required?
If unsure, please advise maximum ceiling height and/or highest forklift reach.
- What beam size is required per bay and/or what is the overall space/length to work within?Keep in mind, the usable length on the reel is less than the internal beam size.
- 914mm beams = maximum clearance of 502mm (centre mount) and 564mm (front mount)
- 1219mm beams = maximum clearance of 807mm (centre mount) and 869mm (front mount)
- 1372mm beams = maximum clearance of 960mm (centre mount) and 1022mm (front mount
- Information about the cable drums that will be stored
-
- Width of the drums (left to right)?
- Depth/diameter (front to back)?
- Weight per drum
- Drum hole size (where the pipe threads through)
- How many levels would you like to store vertically?
- Are any levels going to store more than 1 drum?
Selective pallet racking is great for easy access to products, especially when you’re dealing with high turnover. It’s a top pick for distribution outlets, retail storage and bulk storage.
As a pallet racking system, the most common type is roll-formed pallet racking, which has a simple clip-in design. You can easily adjust the shelves to fit different pallet rack sizes – making it a versatile option for industrial warehouse racking.
