Project Spotlight: Installed Reel Lifting and Rotation System

Application: Large reel handling in a controlled production area
Equipment: Powered reel lifter and turning attachment
Focus: Lifting and rotating a bulky reel at the point of use

The challenge

A large reel had to be lifted from a low position and rotated safely for the next stage of the process. Its diameter and shape made direct manual handling impractical.

The installed solution

LiftRite supplied an installed reel-handling system with powered lift and controlled rotation. The attachment supports the reel securely while the operator raises and turns it into the required orientation.

Engineering features

• Attachment designed around the reel geometry
• Powered vertical movement
• Controlled reel rotation
• Operator handle and controls positioned for clear visibility

The outcome

The installed solution turns a difficult two-stage handling task into one controlled movement while reducing direct contact with the reel.
