APEX Cable Racking System
Smart, Heavy-Duty Cable Drum Storage Designed for Efficiency & Organisation
Benchmark Shelving & Storage supplies the APEX Cable Racking System; a safe, scalable, and highly adaptable storage solution engineered specifically for cable drums, spindles, reels, and coiled products.
Designed to support everything from small electrical cable reels through to large industrial cable drums, the APEX Cable Racking System improves organisation, streamlines cable dispensing, and helps maximise storage efficiency within warehouses, workshops, electrical supply facilities, and industrial environments.
By allowing cable drums to be stored horizontally and dispensed directly from the rack, the system reduces manual handling, improves workflow, and helps minimise downtime during cable retrieval and replenishment.
There are two types of APEX Cable racking options available, Front Mount and Centre Mount, so whether you require a high-capacity heavy-duty system or a flexible everyday cable storage solution, Benchmark Shelving & Storage can configure an APEX Cable Racking layout tailored to your operational requirements.
