Lifting and Handling Reels of Film and Foil with the Clamp Attachment from Packline


The new clamp attachment, for handling reels of film, has been designed to provide greater load capacity, strength, durability and improved ease of use.

This new, improved design provides better wear resistance. There is less friction making the clamp attachment easier to operate; and providing a better grip on the reel or roll.

The new design also provides precise control of the motor and the position of the clamp in rotation.

The clamp attachment has been designed to suit the lifting and rotation of reels which are between 250mm (9.84”) and 600mm (23.62”) in diameter.

The manual clamping action is provided by a hand-wheel which has a torque limiter fitted so that the clamp does not over tighten.

This reel clamp attachment can also be rotated through 360 degrees, and can be locked off in increments of 90 degrees with the unique quick release system.

This lifter is suitable for the food and pharmaceutical industries, as well as other clean room applications.

The attachment is backed up by a full bespoke design service ensuring the right solution can be made to suit any make or size of reel.

All Packline attachments are fully interchangeable and can be easily fixed or removed from any model of ‘Compac’ Lifter fitted with the quick release system.

Specifications:
Attachment Lift Capacity: 200kg / 440.93lbs (maximum).
Load Centre (C of G): 561mm / 22.09 inches (from column).

Forklift Mounted Clamp Attachment for Handling Reels or Rolls of Cable


New to Packline, the bespoke lifting clamp attachment was designed to handle bobbins or rolls of cable.

The customer, from the oil industry, required a fully powered, clamping and rotating attachment to transport the reels or rolls of cable onto and from the production carousel.

The roll bobbins hold up to 200kg of cable that the production line unravels on the carousel.

The forklift supplies power to the clamp attachment via a pendant control, enabling the operator to control the clamp from outside the forklift cab, so ensuring that the reel or roll is correctly aligned to the clamp.

The rotation mechanism is designed to handle the load as closely to the forklift as possible for easy and safe manoeuvrability and stability; whilst in transit.

Specifications:

Safe Working Load (SWL): 270kg (595.25lbs).

Construction Materials: Stainless Steel, Mild Steel, Aluminium.
