Like this: Large reel Lifter
The RWK I/A reel handling unit is used for lifting reels with materials which will telescope if lifted by the core alone. It pneumatically grips the reel between a mandrel in the core and a gripper on the outside diameter of the reel and also uses the pneumatics to rotate the reel through 90 degrees. The mandrel in the core can also be used to grip the core if required. The maximum safe working load is 300 kg.
and this: Small reel lifter
The RWM reel handling unit has a manually operated expanding core gripper to grip the reel and a manually operated rotate to rotate the load through 90 degrees. The maximum safe working load is 150 kg.
The above are perfect for the job, but very expensive, so I need some comparisons.
Thanks,
Simon
