We offer a wide range of cable reel solutions including IP65 for outdoor use, and in a range of cable lengths and voltages. Casings including shock-resistant plastic, die cast aluminium and technopolymer steel, and we can offer PVC and rubber cabling.

Grounding reels colour changed to reflect their use – our specialist cable reel range
CABLECADDY’S specialist cable reel range includes grounding reels for electrostatic discharge – with a range of IP42 and IP65 reels available. And some of our reels have just been given a design change, and are now yellow and green, to reflect their use.
Grounding reels are used for the elimination of electrostatic loads (for example hydrocarbon transfer trucks, fuels and combustible materials) and are supplied in a range of lengths with a H05 V-F single core yellow-green cable.
Also known as earthing reels – or antistatic earthing reels – these retractable reels can be supplied with different casings including polycarbonate and steel. Their main purpose is to create a low-resistance path to ground, preventing static electricity build up, reducing electrical fault risk and protecting both equipment and personnel.
Explosion proof clips are also available (the cable reel itself is not explosion proof) and the clips are suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres – including warehouses, the aviation industry, refineries, naval facilities and with tankers.
The reels which have changed are the 4000, 5000 and 7000 Series (IP42). All part codes remain the same, it is purely the colours of the reels that have changed.
Other industrial cable reel solutions offered by Cablecaddy include power reels, data transmission reels, EV charging cable extension reels, industrial balancers and multi-socket Combi-Cubes.

Cable reels and bespoke distribution units all part of One Way Group project
CABLECADDY & Ceenorm recently worked with the One Way Group on a project to upgrade one of their client’s (Suez) existing LV infrastructure, which had reached the end of its service life (and also contained asbestos) – a project which involved both industrial cable reels and bespoke distribution units.
The project included Ceenorm’s custom-build department designing a localised power distribution solution for nine of their welding and fabrication bays. Each system included 2 x RCD protected 32A 400V socket outlets, 2 x 16A 110V socket outlets, and 1 x 32A 110V socket outlet.
The bespoke distribution units designed and built by Ceenorm are each used to supply power to three IP42 retractable cable reels (supplied by Cablecaddy) supplying 2 x IP42 17m+2m retractable cable reels, and an IP42 8m+2m cable reel.
Ceenorm’s custom-build team designs and builds low-voltage electrical distribution equipment up to 630A, for permanent and temporary electrical installations – all designed and built to exact requirements.
Cablecaddy is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ceenorm UK Ltd – making it easy to work side by side on projects like this one.
