Drums for ropes
and cables
GMP Slovakia products include standard large drums for
ropes and cables (a reinforced version is available for
process and a lightweight version for transportation) and
special large drums for individual applications. The
company has recently supplied disassembled drums with
a flange diameter of 8,600mm, for easy reassembling at
the customer’s plant.
A wide range of large drums is available, to suit any
application. Drums for offshore and submarine cables are
in high demand. Larger drums can be supplied in
knock-down condition to save transport costs. Depending
on the application and diameter, drums can be supplied
balanced, with hardened changeable bushings, reinforced
barrel and flanges for heavy duty processes (such as for a
drum twister), lifting hooks, slots for fixing the cable and
much more. GMP Slovakia is also specialised in the
production of lifting, tilting and rolling equipment for these
drums.
The GMP Slovakia range of products includes every kind
of metal reel, for process or one-way, take-apart reels and
handling equipment, baskets, pallets and stands.
