Handling Large Reels with the Clamp Attachment and ‘Side Shift’ Feature


The clamp attachment for handling large reels has been designed with the ability to shift the entire clamp sideways, left or right as required, and by a specified distance.

The arms of the clamp were offset from the centre of the clamp so that they could fit into confined spaces. Once in place, these clamp arms were used to clamp a shaft and remove it from the press.

Rotation of the clamp can be carried out manually with a hand-wheel or via a motor and using a remote control.

Sideways shifting ensures that the load can be moved into place and then accurately shifted left or right to align it with a machine mandrel for example.
