RGB Industries supplies a comprehensive range of cable handling tools designed to make electrical and cable-laying projects safer, more efficient, and fully compliant with industry requirements. As a South Australian manufacturer, we build durable, Australian-made cable handling equipment suitable for civil, electrical, utilities, and construction environments. Every product is engineered for stability, reliability and long-term performance in demanding field conditions.
Proper cable handling is essential for both safety and productivity. Dragging, twisting or lifting cables manually can lead to strain injuries, damage to expensive cable, and delays on site. Effective cable handling equipment supports controlled deployment, rolling and retrieval, allowing teams to work faster and with reduced risk. Our products are built to withstand tough environments while meeting the practical needs of tradespeople and service crews.

Safety & Regulatory Alignment
Supporting safe work practices is a core part of our product design. Safe Work Australia notes that improper handling of electrical cables—particularly crushing, twisting or uncontrolled movement—can lead to electrical faults, arc hazards and serious injury. Steel-constructed cable handling tools help reduce these risks by providing controlled movement, mechanical stability and reduced manual handling.
The use of structured handling tools also aligns with Australian WHS expectations for reducing hazardous manual tasks, minimising strain, and preventing damage to infrastructure during installation. By using engineered cable handling equipment, workers can complete tasks more safely and efficiently while protecting valuable cable assets.
