  • The traditional cable drum has long been a source of challenges for installers. Its weight, ranging from 300kg to a ton, makes it difficult to handle and often leads to injuries on site. The innovative design of MOBIWAY UN’REEL ensures one person can effortlessly roll and steer it to the desired location. The system features one central reel flanked by two outer reels on a shared axle. This allows one person to efficiently handle tasks that previously required four, enhancing convenience, safety, and reducing injury risks.

  • Our journey, which began in 2021, was not just about innovation, but about addressing our customers’ needs. We aimed to simplify, secure, and make cable installation smarter, and we did this by involving our customers every step of the way. Through market research, customer observations at worksites, and the creation of multiple designs and prototypes, we ensured that our designs were not just theoretical solutions, but practical tools that met real-world needs. The result is MOBIWAY UN’REEL, an innovative cable drum design that is more than just a drum; it’s a solution that enhances efficiency, safety, security, and user satisfaction.
