Cable Drum Pushers
Cable Drum Pushers & Reel Movers
Specialist electric cable drum pushers designed to move heavy cable drums safely with a single operator.
Industrial Cable Drum Handling Solutions
Moving heavy cable drums safely and efficiently is a common challenge in cable manufacturing, utilities, construction and offshore industries. Large wooden or steel cable drums can weigh many tonnes, making manual handling or traditional methods such as forklifts slow, costly and potentially hazardous.
Power Pusher cable drum pushers provide a simple and highly effective solution. Using a specially designed roller attachment, a single operator can safely push and control cable drums weighing up to 120,000 kg. The attachment grips the drum flange and allows the drum to roll smoothly across the floor with minimal effort.
The adjustable roller attachment can be quickly set to suit different drum diameters, allowing the same machine to handle a wide range of cable drum sizes. For extremely heavy drums, two machines can operate together on opposite drum flanges to move even greater loads safely and efficiently.
Why Use a Cable Drum Pusher?
Power Pusher cable drum pushers provide a safer and more efficient way to move heavy cable drums.
- Improved safety – reduces manual handling risks when moving large drums
- Greater efficiency – one operator can move heavy cable drums quickly
- Lower operating costs – often eliminates forklifts or cranes
- Precise manoeuvrability – ideal for confined factory spaces
- Flexible operation – adjustable roller suits different drum diameters

Further Information
If you would like to learn more about cable drum pushers and the safest ways to move heavy cable drums, the sections below provide further information. They explain how cable drum pushers work and the principles behind moving large drums and reels safely and efficiently.
A cable drum pusher uses a specially designed roller attachment that engages with the flange of the cable drum. As the machine moves forward, the drum rolls smoothly along the floor while the operator maintains full control of the movement.
Because the drum rolls naturally, the Power Pusher uses rolling resistance rather than lifting force, allowing extremely heavy loads to be moved safely with relatively small machines.
Moving large cable drums safely requires careful handling. Traditional methods such as forklifts, cranes or manual handling can introduce safety risks, particularly when drums are very heavy or need to be manoeuvred in confined spaces.
Electric cable drum pushers provide a controlled and efficient way to move heavy drums by allowing them to roll naturally across the floor while the operator maintains full control of the movement.
For a detailed explanation of safe cable drum handling methods, including the advantages of using specialist drum pushing equipment, see our guide:
Cable Drum and Paper Reel Handling Guide
This guide explains common cable drum handling challenges, typical drum weights and the safest ways to move large cable reels in industrial environments.
Yes. As well as helping with cable drum handling, Power Pusher equipment can also be used for moving paper reels and other cylindrical loads. For applications involving paper rolls, take a look at the EasyRoller, which is designed specifically for pushing paper rolls in paper mills and corrugator plants.
