“The RackPack system has actually increased my speed to get set up, and most of all, my sanity is saved. Before the RackPack, I ordered my cables on a reel and it always came in a thin cardboard carton on a plastic frame. But only 1 out of 15 would work! They broke easily in shipping and were also difficult to pick up because of the thin cardboard.
Placing them on my cart was the easiest way to set them up and roll them out. But the setup and tying
of the boxes to my scaffolding took time. And when the cable would not spin because of the busted reels,
I had to take it off the cart and out of the box to unroll it. This dragged me down horribly. The RackPack
box is rugged and the reels are supported by wood. I just pulled 20,000 feet of it last week and NOTHING hung up.
Another feature I found “par excellence” is the numbering system on the cable. The best thing I have ever seen is the “Used/Unused” number to tell how many feet are left on the roll. I don’t know how many times I started a run thinking it would reach and came up short, only to have to reaccomplish my work.
The new cart I received was much better than I could imagine with the RackPack boxes. It is 1/8 the size of my scaffold cart, and I do not need a truck to move it because it disassembles to a size that fits in a compact car back seat. I can stack 12 cases of cable on the cart and it glides effortlessly.
Plus, there are bars that pass through the reels and RackPack boxes perfectly to secure the cables to the cart. The casters on the cart are excellent and lock in place to make the cart immobile while pulling.
What a godsend. The best part is: the cart is about 15” wide by 48” long and is easy to get out of the way
in a hallway while running cable for someone to pass. Very easy to store … break it down and stand up
in closet like an upright vacuum cleaner.”
