Windy City Wire RackPack spool and endcaps

The patented RackPack carton is a game-changer for anyone dealing with cable installations. It is designed to make life easier by reducing labor and minimizing cable waste. Each RackPack comes with custom printed details, including easy-to-identify color ID tags and a unique conductor ID and QR code. This makes it super simple to keep track of all the cables on the job site. Plus, the RackPack can be customized with your logo, so your brand gets visibility on every project.

What really sets the RackPack apart is how it integrates seamlessly with our SmartWire cables and transportation devices like the Grab-N-Go, RackStak, and RackTrak. The RackPack's unique construction features a wooden spool suspended by two heavy-duty end caps, allowing for smooth, tangle-free cable pulls. This means less time spent untangling cables and more time getting the job done. The side hole on each RackPack aligns perfectly when placed side-by-side, making it easy to secure them to any of our transporters.

The Grab-N-Go is perfect for smaller installations, handling up to 5,000 feet of cable. It is compact, lightweight, and handheld, making it ideal for quick jobs. For larger projects, the RackStak and RackTrak are the go-to options. The RackStak can accommodate over 6,000 feet of cable and is designed to maneuver easily around tight spaces as well as up and down stairs. The RackTrak, on the other hand, can hold over 12,000 feet of cable and is perfect for large-scale installations. Both transporters are durable, lightweight, and collapsible, making them easy to move around the job site.

Using the RackPack with these transporters not only saves time but also reduces the physical strain on workers. The consistent size of the RackPack cartons makes staging, storing, and pulling cable efficient, which in turn boosts productivity and profitability. By mounting RackPacks to a transporter, almost 100% of the energy exerted is applied directly to the unspooling of wire, making the process much more efficient. This means fewer injuries and less fatigue for the team, which is a win-win for everyone involved.

The RackPack, as the key component of our RackPack Feild Systems Solution, offers a complete solution that enhances efficiency, reduces labor costs, and minimizes cable waste. It is all about making the job easier and more profitable, which is something everyone can appreciate.
