Reel rotator with straddle legs
Packline Materials Handling has launched the Reel Rotator with Straddle Legs, which is suited to handling heavy reels to and from all types of pallets.
This attachment, when combined with the Lifter fitted with Straddle Legs, is designed for the lifting, rotation and handling of heavy reels.
This unit is particularly ideal for handling reels which are stored on large pallets. The Lifting Machine is fitted with legs which are designed to straddle the pallet while loading or unloading a reel.
The reels are secured by the outside diameter within the attachment arms by self-centring gripper plates which are faced with rubber pads. This provides the operator with secure and safe lifting and handling without damage.
The machine has many safety features and benefits which include powered rotation. This is governed so that rotation can only take place at 750mm or higher. This is done so that the gripping arms of the attachment do not hit the floor or legs of the machine.
