Pick and move reels from pallets with smart lifting equipment
Depending on how reels need to be picked up from pallets and then placed for further use, a various amount of lifting systems can be used.
Lifting and transporting reels can be both strenuous and difficult if handled without ergonomic lifting equipment. Reels are often heavy, big and ungainly by their design, making it very advantageous to increase efficiency and employee health by using the right lifting solution.
Depending on how the reels are picked up from pallets and then placed for further use, a various amount of lifting systems can be used. Lifting trolleys from TAWI offer versatile and flexible solutions for reel handling, with various options for picking up reels from pallets either from the core or from the outside. Due to their flexible and customer oriented design, these mobile reel lifters have adjustable legs that can be arranged to fit all kinds of pallets, making it possible for the operator to reach all reels stacked on the pallet.
