Packline Reel Lift

• Handling and positioning rolls of film, foil, or paper in packaging lines.
• Loading material onto processing machinery such as form-fill-seal machines or laminators.
• Transferring reels between storage areas and production zones.
• Ergonomic lifting of heavy rolls to reduce manual handling risks in food production.
• Facilitating quick changeovers of packaging materials on various production lines.

Typical lifting capacity

For this class of equipment, lifting capacities commonly range from 50kg to 300kg, with specific units designed for particular reel weights.

Power supply

Units are typically battery-powered for mobility, often 12V or 24V DC, with integrated chargers. Some may be manually operated.

Lifting mechanism
