What our Experts Think

Q&A

Q: What is the Greenlee 656 Ratchet Type Reel Stand used for?
A: A heavy-duty ratcheting wire reel stand designed to hold and dispense large wire or cable reels safely and efficiently on electrical and construction job sites.

Q: What is its main function?
A: It allows controlled payout of wire from spools while keeping reels elevated off the ground, reducing tangles, friction, and labor during cable pulling and installation.

Q: What reel sizes does it support?
A: Typically supports large industrial reels (up to several thousand pounds depending on configuration) and adjustable spindle width for different spool sizes.

Q: What makes the ratchet design important?
A: The ratcheting lift mechanism allows users to raise and lower reels easily for loading, positioning, and controlled wire dispensing without heavy lifting equipment.

Q: What is it made of?
A: Built with heavy-gauge welded steel construction, designed for rugged jobsite durability and long-term industrial use.

Q: How is it used on site?
A: Wire reels are mounted onto the spindle shafts, then the stand holds them securely while wire is pulled for conduit runs, panel wiring, or large installations.

Q: What are the key benefits?
A: Improves safety, reduces wire damage, enables smooth payout, and eliminates the need for makeshift reel supports or manual handling.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect frame and base before each use for cracks, bends, or instability
• Check ratchet mechanism for smooth operation and proper locking function
• Lubricate ratchet and pivot points lightly to ensure consistent movement
• Ensure spindle shafts are straight and free from wear or deformation
• Tighten all bolts, pins, and fasteners before loading cable reels
• Clean dirt, dust, and cable debris from moving parts regularly
• Verify reel is properly centered and securely seated before operation
• Do not exceed rated reel weight or load capacity
• Inspect welds and structural joints regularly, especially on reconditioned units
• Keep stand level on solid ground to prevent shifting during use
• Store in a dry environment to reduce rust and corrosion risk
• Check ratchet teeth for wear or damage before each job
