I've been trying to come up with a very compact wire-spool dispenser (THHN) for awhile now. Maybe you can help me.

I don't like the typical hand racks or truck racks, because I don't have much space in the truck. Now I use plastic crates with a 1/2" EMT through the spool. I store the wire in the crate. I saw something that looked like the outside of the spool rode in a canvas U-shaped area. I liked that because the wire sometimes comes off my spool & wraps around the 1/2" EMT. I'm trying to set this up well because I work alone on pulls & am going back & forth 100' when it jambs up.

I found a PVC fitting that fit the spool, but it was about $30 & I didn't really want to spend $200 on this (6 spools + hardware). I'd also like to rig something up that would lube the wires before they go into the conduit.

Any ideas???
