Cable Reels – Making your job easier.
Often overlooked, the cable reel is one of the most important pieces of the inspection system. IBAK’s line of cable reels are designed specifically to work with IBAK equipment and to withstand the harsh environments that you encounter. All mainline cable is Kevlar reinforced and coated for protection. Our standard mainline cables are rated at over 2000 lbs. pull strength. Special cable reel features like synchronized operation, automatic level winds, and remote controls make your job easier.

HSP Pushrod Reel
The HSP Pushrod reels are designed to withstand the rigors of the environment. The camera cable is covered with a replaceable PVC sheath and strengthened with a fiberglass rod. The protective sheath absorbs damage and keeps the transmission cable safe. The HSP is available in 130 and 200 foot lengths.

Synchronization
The KW305 and KW505 cable reels feature synchronized cable retraction and payout. This reduces wear on the cable, increases production, and greatly reduces the chance that you will back over your cable during retrieval.

Remote Pendant

Lowering Winch
KW 305 and KW 505 cable reels include a built-in lowering winch for tractor and camera systems. This powerful winch makes inserting or removing the equipment from the pipeline easier and safer. It reduces the chance that equipment will be dropped, reducing the strain on your back and your wallet.
