Wooden cable drums Ø 600–3000 mm – Fallwood manufacturer
Products · Cable drums

Wooden cable drums engineered around your cable

We build pine cable drums with flange diameters from 600 to 3000 mm, one-way and returnable. The construction follows the weight and length of the cable, its minimum bending radius and the way the drum is mounted on your winding line.

National standards: Germany and Italy

Drums are built to our own construction, agreed with the customer at the drawing stage. We also build to the customer's own factory drawing — if you have your own design documentation, we manufacture exactly to it. We equally produce the dimensions of the German DIN 46391 standard and the Italian CEI-UNEL 09812 table. Below are the documents cable plants in both countries refer to most often.

Germany

  • DIN 46391-2technical delivery conditions for wooden drums
  • DIN 46391-3oversized drums, flange 2800–4500 mm

The table is given as a reference for customers in Italy. Our standard size range differs from it in some core diameters — dimensions to the standard are made to order, like any other construction from a drawing.

The drum starts from the cable, not from a catalogue

We start from the data you already have: cable type and weight, winding length, minimum bending radius, required hub bore and mounting method. Those determine the flange diameter, the core diameter, the width between flanges and the number and pitch of the tie rods.

The result is a drum built for one job rather than a catalogue compromise. You can size it yourself in our configurator; we then verify the result and prepare the technical drawing.

One-way and returnable versions

One-way drums are optimised for cost and shipping weight. Returnable drums are built for repeated cycles: stronger flanges, a bolted structure and replaceable parts, so a worn element can be swapped instead of scrapping the whole drum.

On request we supply impregnated drums intended for outdoor storage in the yard.

Compliance and documents ready before dispatch

The timber is heat treated to ISPM 15 and carries the IPPC mark, so the drums can leave the European Union without additional phytosanitary formalities.

Every delivery comes with a full set of documents: the technical drawing, the packaging declaration of conformity under the PPWR regulation and the EUDR statement with a DDS number. They wait in the ppwr.fallwood.com.pl portal before the goods leave, in your own language.

Questions and answers

Which drum diameters do you produce?

Flange diameters from 600 to 3000 mm. The remaining dimensions, the core diameter and the traverse width, follow from the cable parameters and are agreed with the order.

Do you make drums to DIN 46391 or CEI-UNEL 09812?

Yes. Every drum is built to the drawing agreed with the customer, so dimensions from the German DIN 46391 standard (flange 710–2800 mm, part 3 up to 4500 mm) and from the Italian CEI-UNEL 09812 table (types 6–25, 630 to 2500 mm) are made to order. Our standard size range is close to them but differs in some core diameters — if you need a dimension exactly to the standard, say so in your enquiry.

Will you build a drum to our own factory drawing?

Yes. If you have your own design documentation, we manufacture exactly to it — we take the dimensions, hole patterns, thicknesses and method of construction from your drawing. If there is no documentation, we prepare our own construction and agree it with you at the drawing stage, before production starts. Customer drawings are treated as confidential.

Are the drums suitable for outdoor storage?

Yes. On request we supply impregnated drums prepared for storage in the yard. The standard version is intended for a covered warehouse.

Which documents come with the drums?

The technical drawing, the PPWR declaration of conformity, the EUDR statement with a DDS number and the IPPC, FSC® and PEFC certificates. All of it is available in the portal before dispatch, in your language.

Do you deliver outside Poland?

Yes, we supply cable plants across the European Union. We handle enquiries in Polish, English, German and Italian.
