Reel Lifting Palamatic handling systems for reels Reel/Roll handling poses many problems. Every day thousands of reels are taken off printing or stacked on pallets. At the other end of the production line this process is reversed. Reels can spiral when picked from the core using mechanical grippers and, in many cases, the reel has to be rewound. Occasionally this can mean a totally wasted reel. Damage to the edge of the reel is widespread when badly handled. As with all manual handling of heavy loads the operator cannot always protect knocked against a work surface. The Palamatic reel manipulating systems solve both with specially designed suction feet to cope with varying diameters. Grip is achieved across all the windings which, when lifted prevents any spiralling occuring. Because the operator can exercise more care when manoeuvring it. With the pneumatically powered turning systems, the reel can safely and easily be turned through 90°. The benefits of Palamatic lifters efficiency system. Vacuum Lifting
