The Cradle Attachment for Lifting Very Long Reels


The extra wide cradle attachment is designed to lift very long reels already mounted onto a mandrel.

The stainless steel assembly means that the attachment is strong enough to lift a load up to 90 kg. The reel is lifted with the mandrel already inserted, meaning that it is necessary for the attachment cradle arms to straddle the reel itself.

A ‘bolt on block’ in the centre of the cradle attachment was added in order to reduce the risk of pivoting by the attachment when loaded with the reel.

The lifter allows the reel to be lifted up to the necessary working height and moved into position. The mandrel can then be unloaded into the machine.

This lifter frame has longer legs than are used as standard in order to add stability to the lifter when the reel is lifted to its highest position.

Specifications:

Safe Working Load (SWL): 90kg (198.42lbs approx.)

Attachment Mass: 53.5kg (117.95lbs approx.)

Construction: Stainless Steel 304, Aluminium 6082 T6

Automatic Scissor Drum Handler (SG-1)


Drums that are structurally strong can now be lifted from their top rim.

The SG-1 automatic scissor drum handler attachment is raised above the drum in the locked open position, and then lowered onto the drum.

Once in contact with the drum, the attachment will automatically close to grip the rim of the drum, enabling the drum to be lifted as required. The drum handler will release the drum when lowered to the ground again.

This drum handler will lift all open and tight head steel drums, as wells as plastic ‘L’ ring drums. A customised version is available to lift open top plastic drums and Mauser drums.

The SG-1 drum handler is available in mild steel with a hard wearing powder coat finish, or if required, stainless steel 304.

Packline can supply a lifting truck which can support the SG-1 drum handling attachment. The SG-1 can also be hung from a hook or crane hoist on a fork lift truck.

Specifications:

Safe working load (SWL): 500kg.

Material: mild steel powder coated or stainless steel 304.

Weight of unit: 20kg.
