Handling reels—whether of stainless steel, paper, film, or other materials—is a common challenge in the food, pharmaceutical, medical, cosmetics, printing and packaging industries. Reels are often heavy, bulky, and awkward to manoeuvre manually, which can lead to operator strain, fatigue, and workplace injuries. A purpose-built reel handling solution ensures ergonomic, safe, and functional movement of reels throughout production processes.
