® is a re g i s t e red trademark of Woodhead Industries, Inc. Woodhead Industrial Cable reels are designed for top p e rf o rmance, long life, and easy maintenance. Series 9200, 9300, and 92400 are perfect for mobile electrical equipment, p o rtable lighting, or hand-held power tools, and can handle cord lengths up to 50ft. For longer cord lengths and heavier gaugec o rd, our 92500, 92600, and 92700 cord reels are available and are ideal for hoists, large electric tools, and moving equipment.All of our industrial reels are suitable for vertical lift, vertical re c o v e ry, and drag applications. We also have reels which have thec o rrect spring tension for horizontal stretch and re c o v e ry applications. Where minimum cable sag is not critical, our industrialc o rd reels can be used for stretch service where an expected cable sag at mid-point of 10% is allowable. Applications Cord reel applications include vertical lift, drag, horizontal stretch, recovery, and vertical recovery. Different applications requiredifferent variations in spring tension for optimal performance. Definition of cord reel applications are: Vertical Lift Reel is mounted overhead. Cable pays out downward and is retracted up via spring power.Reel must have enough tension to lift the total weight of the cable and any additionalweight attached to it, e.g., pendant station, cable overhang. Horizontal Stretch Cable is suspended in the air, supported at both ends. The tension must accommodateabout twice the total weight of the cable to maintain an acceptable 6% sag. Recovery Mounted on a moving carrier, reel picks up cable from stationary base. The closer the reelis to the recovery surface, the less tension is required. Drag The reel is mounted in a permanent location. Cable is dragged over surface to and fromfixed mounted reel. The tension required is about the same as the lift application. Vertical Recovery Base mounted reel pays out cable upward. The reel is required only to recover the cable onthe spool, as the cable moves downward. Minimal tension is needed to recover cable intothe reel.
