Rotating reels up to 500kg
Danish manufacturer of material handling equipment, Logitrans A/S has introduced the Reel Rotator which lifts and rotates reels of up to 500kg.
The machine is said to compact, very manoeuvrable and ensures the user is working under ergonomically correct conditions. The reels are fixed with gripping arms that have rubber-covered gripping pads to achieve the largest friction and to ensure a gentle grip. The Reel Rotator manages soft as well as smooth and hard reels.
With a high focus on safety, none of the models can open the gripping arms by mistake, and the reels can only be released, when placed on floor or pallet. On models with electric rotation, it is only possible to rotate at lifting heights, at which the gripping arms cannot touch floor or legs.
