Education is a huge part of our company culture, and we like to extend that into everything we do, so we thought it was only fitting that we start off the year with some “back to the basics” knowledge about reels.
Knowing what you are handling and how it was built or assembled is key in creating an overall safe and smooth running operation. We believe in building solutions, not just products, so from your first point of contact with Oso Manufacturing, we make sure you have the knowledge to make an educated and informed decision about what you are buying. Every project faces their own unique challenges, and we work closely with you to make sure the end product you receive will provide assistance in helping your project run just a little bit smoother.
Reels (also referred to as spools or drums), consist of several carefully thought out components that are assembled together to create a tool that helps to organize, protect and transport various products. No two reel orders are alike. From the material selection to the flange thickness, every detail can be customized according to your unique reel needs.
The intended use for the reels, plays a major factor in how we layout your reel options. The type of product (wire, cable, hoses, cordage, flexible pipe and more), the weight of the product, and if the reels will be used for transportation or storage/organization, are all details we take into account.
We are proud to offer reels in a variety of materials, each with their own distinctive strengths. Laminated reels have been our most popular style due to their versatility across multiple applications. However, we have seen a major shift in the reel world over the years, and we are excited to see a build in demand for OSB (or plywood), plastic and steel reels.
