Southwire Wire Wagon 520 – MC Cable Cart – Holds 4 1000 Ft. Spools

Description

Dispense armored metal-clad cable runs without snagging reels using the Southwire Wire Wagon 520 MC Cart on commercial sites. Sized to hold 4 1,000ft spools of MC cable, this cart speeds feeder pulls. Solid cold-rolled steel axles support reel weight. Tight commercial doorways require careful steering because full spool hubs measure 30in across.

Heavy 12-gauge rectangular steel tubing makes up the welded wagon frame, finished in high-visibility powder coat paint. 4 solid 3/4in cold-rolled steel axles support up to 4 spools measuring 24in diameter by 18in wide, bearing 1,200 lbs total capacity. 4 heavy 8in polyurethane casters include dual foot-brake locks. Unboxed tool weight measures 110 lbs, with floor storage stance measuring 42in long by 30in wide by 44in high in job trailers.

Key Features of Southwire WW-520

Commercial electrical contractors buy Southwire WW-520 carts to pull armored branch circuits without tangling costly metal-clad cable. Equipment pricing provides mobile multi-spool payout capability that cuts jobsite rough-in labor hours.

• Heavy-gauge 12-gauge tubular steel framework supports up to 1,200 lbs of armored cable.
• Four solid 3/4in steel axles hold 4 1,000ft spools of MC or Romex wire.
• Smooth wire guide eyes prevent sharp casing snags during simultaneous multi-cable pulls.
• Four 8in polyurethane casters roll over drywall screws and rough concrete joints.
• Dual wheel friction brakes lock the wagon stationary during high-tension cable payout.
• Compact 30in wide profile passes through standard commercial 32in framed interior doorways.
• Bottom steel mesh tray holds benders, cable cutters, and hand tools beneath spools.
• Industrial powder coat finish stops rust from concrete wash and jobsite moisture.

Caster Rolling Load Benchmark

Static load testing verifies the 12-gauge tubular frame sustains 1,200 lbs of spool weight without axle bow or upright weld deflection. Each 8in polyurethane caster wheel bears 400 lbs of load while rolling across concrete slab control joints. Dual friction brakes hold the cart stationary against 160 lbs of direct horizontal line pull force. Axle sleeves maintain free-wheeling rotation without bind during fast cable pulls. Powder coating prevents corrosion across 500 hours of continuous salt spray testing without surface blistering.

Jobsite Floor Usability Bounds

Moving the fully loaded 1,200 lbs cart across finished concrete requires 24 lbs of horizontal push effort by 1 technician. Do not pull this cart across unfinished gravel trenches or wood cribbing because the rigid casters will drop into gaps and cause tip-over hazards.

• Lubricate caster swivel bearings with NLGI 2 lithium grease every 60 days.
• Check axle retention hitch pins and frame welds for stress cracks every 90 days.
• Inspect friction brake shoe pads and adjust lock bolt tension every 30 days.
