Excellent tip Darkwood, one I've missed and will help me out no end.
put your coils on opposite directions so payoff is at the top on first, bottom on second and so on.... this avoids the wires riding over other coils and reduces chances of tangling unk:
This sounded good in theory, though once exercised turned out to be less affective. This was due to the drums rolling in opposit directions which made pulling more difficult.
Why not get a set of rack-a-tiersGood effort.
This used to be one of the first jobs to do on the first day of a large install. Absolute dream for installing singles into trunking runs as you could make the axle to accommodate as many reels as you wanted. We always tried to keep them in the van for future use but they would inevitably get used up for small bits or nipples.

We have bent one set a little.
To be fair it had a 100m 35mm 4c swa drum on it lol
We usually get 5/6 500m belden/yy drums on one quite easily so singles should be fine
We borrow a pipe off the plumbers on siteWas talking about when I worked doing large commercial jobs for a firm. I am now self employed and mainly do domestic and small commercial so don't really have need for one. When I do, I have one of these unwieldy buggers.....

When we used to do large SWA pulls we invariably used cable jacks with a scaffold pole axle. Until we had a rather large drum that bent the axle, so we had to invest in a 3 inch diameter solid steel pole.
