Then maybe they won't be too offended if you chew their a$$ for storing that big stuff on it's side like that...respectfully, of course!

I know that's not the correct way to store it....but space and time dictate what I get. It will be fine. I'll get the hire of the trailers for uncoiling for free. I'm also being given heatshrink to cover any oooops nicks for free. I'll take a few pics when I get to pull them into the duct.

Yeah, we used to run some pretty heavy gauge stuff when we did tour electrics. Fun stuff like portable 1600A 3-phase panels, that fed dimmer racks / distro boxes for everything on stage - lights, audio, chain motors, automotive-sized turntables, stage lifts...

We called it "elephant dick".

As an apprentice electrician we were working with 750mcm cable on the job , and a journeyman said to me “kid , this will probably be the largest cable you will work with in your career”. He was right.

I was a 1st year helper. No one was allowed near the 1000MCM scrap. If I would have known then how uncommon it was, I would have finagaled a foot of it. I think it weighed nearly 5 lbs a foot.
