If you’re considering adding Single Reel Trailers to your fleet, explore some key factors to keep in mind to ensure you have the right equipment for the job.
When you work in underground construction, fiber installation, or directional drilling, having single reel trailers is a must. When it comes time to lay cable, having the right equipment is vital to guarantee that all cables are correctly installed. Plus, efficiency is key if you need to haul innerduct or fiber to your job site.
Before you add single reel trailers to your fleet, there are 3 key factors to consider to ensure success.
Knowing the size and weight of your reel helps determine which type of single reel trailer is right for you. Different trailer manufacturers accommodate different reel widths, so knowing your spool size and weight helps prevent issues while working. For example, Brindle trailers have a wider base, being able to hold a 67-inch reel. On the other hand, Stellar trailers are slightly smaller, holding a 62-inch reel.
Not all trucks can haul reel trailers, so knowing your truck’s size is incredibly important to know before selecting your reel trailer. Power and telecom contractors typically rent a service truck or a 1-ton flatbed (or larger) to pair with their trailers. If you have a smaller, lighter reel, consider a ¾-ton pickup truck to haul.
Single reel trailers are incredibly versatile for a variety of industries, being great for a wide array of project applications. These units are great for telecom projects, 5G infrastructure jobs, municipal projects, renewable sites and more.
