For years, electricians, contractors and installers have battled with outdated cable spools that are bulky, inefficient, and difficult to transport. Now, MOBIWAY BOOST developed by Nexans changes that with an innovative solution that Kiwi tradies will love.
MOBIWAY BOOST is designed to solve many of the issues that impact productivity for electricians and contractors on the job – streamlining storage, transport, and handling, allowing cables to be stacked, unspooled and rewind with ease.
Its development began in March 2022, with Nexans conducting extensive worksite observations and customer research to pinpoint key pain points. Through multiple design refinements and user feedback, they crafted a spool that not only enhances productivity and stability but is also reusable and recyclable.
With an integrated handle for ergonomic carrying, MOBIWAY BOOST improves job site efficiency and safety while reducing waste.
The system’s rubber feet provide extra grip, its cube-shaped design improves transportation, and its free-rolling inner spool ensures smoother unspooling and rewinding – innovations that mean tradies can now pull multiple cables at once without hassle, speeding up installations and reducing manual handling risks.
MOBIWAY BOOST supports an expanded range of cables, including 1mm, 1.5mm, and 2.5mm 2-core + earth flats, plus new additions like Earth cable (6mm), Climate cable (1.5mm), Switch cables (1mm and 1.5mm), and Current cables (4mm and 6mm).
We want to integrate and bring up the sustainable nature of the spool. By improving labour efficiency by 40-50%, reducing waste, and enhancing job site safety, MOBIWAY BOOST is more than just a spool—it’s a game-changer for Kiwi electricians. Its design allows it to hold more meters of cable, reducing the number of spools needed on-site and minimising waste. What’s more, the spools can be returned, reused, and recycled, keeping them from being discarded after just one use. This not only helps reduce environmental impact but also supports a circular economy for a more sustainable electrification.
Nexans NZ has partnered J.A. Russell Ltd, Radcliffe Electrical, Telfer Electrical, Ideal Electrical Suppliers & Corys Electrical to launch the MOBIWAY BOOST innovation exclusively into the market.
