Cable Rack & Cable Racking Systems

Cable Racking for Cable Drum & Reel Storage

Storing cable drums and reels on the floor wastes space, slows down picking, and makes stock harder to manage. ReadyRack's cable rack and cable racking systems solve this by lifting cable drums, reels, and spindles into an organised, vertical storage format, freeing up floor space while keeping stock accessible and easy to dispense from.

Every cable rack in this range is ready to order and ship, no design consultations or custom quotes required. Browse the range below, choose the configuration that suits your drums, and add it straight to your cart.

Two Cable Racking Configurations

Not all cable storage needs are the same, which is why we stock two core cable rack configurations, ready to go:

Centre Mount Cable Racking Designed for heavier-duty cable drum storage. The spindle passes through the centre of the upright frame, giving maximum support for larger, heavier drums.

• Supports up to 1800kg per level
• Suits spindle/pipe diameters up to 88mm OD
• Frame heights available up to 7315mm
• Ideal for industrial and high-capacity cable storage

Front Mount Cable Racking Built for lighter-duty dispensing and smaller reels, with the spindle mounted at the front of the frame for faster, easier access.

• Supports up to 500kg per level
• Suits spindle/pipe diameters up to 48mm OD
• Frame heights available up to 4267mm
• Ideal for frequent picking and smaller cable reels

Key Features & Benefits

Heavy-Duty, Purpose-Built Frames Our cable racking is built on a heavy-duty steel frame, engineered specifically to carry the rotational and point-loads that cable drums place on a system, different demands to standard palletised storage.

Compliant with Australian Standards Cable racking is designed to meet AS 4084:2023 (Steel Storage Racking), with Safe Working Load (SWL) signage supplied with every system.

Fast, Efficient Access Both configurations let drums be unrolled and dispensed directly from the rack, so cable can be pulled straight off the reel without repositioning stock.

Ready to Order, No Waiting on Custom Design Every unit in this range is a standard, ready product, no waiting on drawings, quotes, or design sign-off. Order what you need and it ships.

Space-Efficient Vertical Storage By storing drums vertically instead of on the floor, you free up valuable warehouse space and can hold significantly more stock in the same footprint.

Fast Australia-Wide Shipping & Warranty Every ReadyRack cable racking system ships fast Australia-wide and is backed by warranty for peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
