Overhead Reel Clamp Attachment

The Geared Overhead Clamp Attachment from Packline is a specialist solution designed to lift reels and rolls safely and efficiently from pallets onto processing lines. This bespoke reel handling attachment allows reels to be lifted securely from above, keeping the reel core accessible for mandrel insertion and downstream operations.

This reel lifting solution is particularly effective for handling rolls delivered two per pallet in a horizontal arrangement, overcoming the challenges of lifting large, heavy rolls in confined spaces.
