3 Tonne Hydraulic Drum Jack – Additional Information

Hydraulic cable drum jacks are widely used to lift, retain and support cable drums so the cable can be paid off smoothly during installation. Compared with more basic manual systems, hydraulic jacks offer quicker height adjustment and straightforward handling, making them well suited to repetitive site work and cable yard operations. The SEB HJ3 is intended for cable drums within the stated size and load range and should always be selected with reference to the actual drum dimensions, total drum weight and the handling arrangement required on site.

For reliable operation, the drum must be supported correctly using the supplied spindle bar and locking collars, and the jacks should be positioned on firm, level ground.
