How to Merge 6 Wire Pulls into 1
Windy City Wire's MegaPack might just be one the simplest, coolest, labor-saving inventions on the market for dealers.
I recently saw one the coolest no-brainers for integrators to save time pulling wire.
The Windy City Wire MegaPack enables an integrator to bundle three, four, five, or six wire pulls into one. Individual cardboard boxes with free spools of cable inside (called RackPacks) are connected together and then automatically spirally wrapped together with a light string as the technician pulls the cables from the boxes.
Dealers can select the cable colors of choice. The boxes are easily placed on a Windy City RackTrak dolly to be moved around the job site.
The integrator I saw just started using it and loves it. His only issue to date has been that the edges of the cardboard boxes from where the wire spools are tend to collapse or break, causing the wire to not spool out as smoothly.

Ma, I wish my cable supplier would take notice! Best form of flattery is imitation, right?
