A Paper Reel Lifting Pallet Truck (also known as a reel or roll pallet truck) is a specialized material handling solution designed to transport cylindrical, non-palleted loads safely and efficiently. Unlike standard flat-fork pallet trucks, these feature custom-angled or V-shaped forks that cradle cylindrical items to prevent rolling during movement.
Key Features
-
V-Shaped/Sloped Forks: Angled inward to lock paper rolls, cable drums, or textile rolls securely in place without requiring pallets.
-
Adjustable Fork Spacing: Many models feature adjustable fork widths to accommodate varying roll diameters (typically ranging from 400 mm to 1600+ mm).
-
High Load Capacity: Standard industrial units generally support load capacities between 1,000 kg and 3,000 kg.
-
Operation Types: Available in manual hydraulic designs for short-distance transport, semi-electric, or fully electric models for high-throughput warehouse environments.
Typical Applications
-
Paper & Printing Industry: Transporting large paper reels to printing presses or corrugating machines.
-
Textiles & Fabrics: Handling giant woven or synthetic fabric rolls.
-
Wire & Cable: Transporting heavy cable drums and wire spools.
-
Packaging & Plastics: Moving film and flexible packaging reels across manufacturing plants.
