Engineering Overview
Autoreel’s mobile shaft-loading range of payoff machines utilises a shaft to support the cable drum. Hydraulically operated for effortless loading, the design also enables the unit to be used for transporting cable drums around the working area.
Ergonomic design facilitates the handling of even the heaviest drum by only one man. A roller spanning the width of the machine allows a smooth cable flow and prevents damage.
