80m Cobra Reel (6mm/9mm)

The 80m Cobra Reel is a high-performance glass fibre rodding system designed for extended-reach cable installation and duct tracing. Available in a 6mm “Midi” or 9mm “Medco” diameter, it features a radially reinforced core and a zinc-plated steel frame for maximum durability on-site.

Deep Subsurface Run Capacity: Offers eighty meters of high-strength structural rod to map extensive drainage and utility paths.
Reinforced Metal Frame Basket: Built with an impact-resistant steel tube cage to survive tough handling inside plant vehicles.
Dual Tracking System Use: Allows for direct signal generation down the internal wire or attachment of end-mounted sondes.
Abrasion Proof Outer Jacket: Coated in a tough low-friction polymer sheath to prevent wear from rough concrete sewer walls.

FAQs

What diameter options are available for this 80m reel?

This 80m reel configuration is available in either 6mm or 9mm rod diameters to balance the required structural flexibility against pushing rigidity in long ducts.

Does the reel feature a mechanism to prevent unwanted uncoiling?

Yes, the steel frame includes an integrated brake or friction latch system to control the feed speed and prevent the fiberglass rod from springing out.

Can we hire this unit for short-term projects?

Yes, the 80m Cobra Reel is available for flexible short-term or long-term hire, providing a practical tool for temporary duct rodding or line tracing contracts.

What fittings are attached to the ends of the rod?

The rod ends are fitted with brass threaded guide tips, allowing you to easily screw on pulling eyes, clevises, or transmitting sondes for utility tracking.

How does a 6mm rod differ from a 9mm rod in performance?

A 6mm rod offers better flexibility for navigating moderate bends in standard ducts, while a 9mm rod provides higher stiffness to prevent buckling over longer distances.

What material is the rod constructed from?

The rod features a high-tensile fiberglass core coated with a tough, low-friction polypropylene sheathing that resists abrasion, moisture, and chemical exposure on site.

Can it be used to trace the exact path of a non-metallic pipe?

Yes, if you choose a traceable version with internal copper wires, you can connect a transmitter to the terminal to trace the entire rod length.

What is the primary function of an 80m Cobra Reel?

A Cobra Reel is a continuous flexible fiberglass rod used to push pulling lines, sondes, or inspection cameras through underground ducts, conduits, and pipe networks.

How should the Cobra Reel be maintained after field use?

Wipe dirt and mud off the rod as it is rewound, check the fiberglass sheathing for deep cuts, and ensure the brass end fittings remain clean.

What type of frame does the reel utilize?

It is mounted in a rugged, freestanding steel frame with wheels that allows for stable upright manual deployment, neat rewinding, and secure transport around the jobsite.
