Hydraulic Cable Drum Jack Manufacturer in Saudi Arabia
A Hydraulic Cable Drum Jack is a steel lifting stand fitted with a hydraulic ram, used in pairs to raise a cable drum off the ground so it can rotate freely on its axle during cable laying, pulling, or unwinding operations on electrical and telecommunications projects.
Century Experts fabricates Hydraulic Cable Drum Jacks from high-strength structural steel, welded by qualified personnel under approved procedures, with a wide, stable base and a hydraulic ram that raises the drum spindle smoothly and holds it securely at height while cable is fed off the reel. This removes the need for cranes or improvised lifting methods when positioning heavy cable drums for site work across Saudi Arabia.
We manufacture both standard and custom-built Hydraulic Cable Drum Jacks in various capacities and spindle sizes to suit different drum weights and diameters. Engineering calculations, load testing, and third-party certification can be provided upon request.
We proudly supply Hydraulic Cable Drum Jacks throughout Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Jubail, Al Khobar, Yanbu, Makkah, Madinah, Qassim, Al Kharj, NEOM, and across Saudi Arabia.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is a Hydraulic Cable Drum Jack?
A Hydraulic Cable Drum Jack is a steel stand fitted with a hydraulic ram, used in pairs at either end of a cable drum’s axle to lift it off the ground so the drum can spin freely while cable is unwound or pulled during installation work.
2. Why are these jacks always used in pairs?
A single jack would only support one end of the drum’s axle, leaving the other end unsupported and the drum tilted. Using two matched jacks, one at each end of the spindle, raises the drum evenly and keeps it level and stable while it rotates.
3. What drum weights and sizes can these jacks handle?
We manufacture Hydraulic Cable Drum Jacks in a range of capacities to suit light cable reels up to large power cable drums, with the spindle or axle-support fitting sized to match common drum bore diameters used on site.
4. How is the drum raised and lowered?
The hydraulic ram is operated using a hand pump lever, which raises the drum smoothly to the required working height, and a release valve allows it to be lowered in a controlled manner once the cable work is complete.
5. Does the drum stay locked at height, or does it rely on hydraulic pressure alone?
Most designs include a mechanical locking feature or check valve to hold the drum securely at height, providing a safety margin beyond relying on hydraulic pressure alone during extended cable pulling operations.
6. Can the spindle be adjusted for different drum bore sizes?
Yes. The spindle or axle support is typically adjustable or interchangeable to accommodate different drum bore diameters, allowing the same pair of jacks to be used across various cable drum sizes.
7. What standards does your Hydraulic Cable Drum Jack comply with?
Our Hydraulic Cable Drum Jacks can be designed and manufactured in accordance with ASME B30.1, applicable OSHA construction safety requirements, and project-specific client requirements.
8. Is load testing and certification available for the jacks?
Yes. We provide load testing, a Certificate of Conformity, and third-party inspection upon request, along with an identification plate showing rated capacity and serial number on each jack.
9. Can the jacks be customized for our specific drum sizes?
Yes. We fabricate Hydraulic Cable Drum Jacks to custom capacity, spindle size, base design, and finish, based on the cable drum types and site conditions you typically work with.
