Expander Manipulator for Coils: Safe and Controlled Lifting

Handling reels, especially in industrial settings, requires solutions that guarantee safety, precision and ease of use. Our expander manipulator is designed to lift and tilt reels of various materials (plastic film, paper, technical fabrics, aluminium, etc.) in an ergonomic and controlled manner.

Internal Expansion Gripping System

The manipulator uses a mechanical or pneumatic expander that inserts into the central hole of the reel and expands to ensure a secure grip without damaging the material. This system is ideal for reels with cardboard, plastic or metal cores.

Ergonomic Handling

The operator can:

  • Lift the reel effortlessly
  • Tilt it smoothly and precisely

Customisable configuration

The manipulator can be installed on:

  • Fixed column or on self – standing baseplate
  • overhead fixed or sliding

Each system is custom designed based on the diameter, weight and type of reel, as well as the layout of the work area.

Typical applications

  • Production and packaging lines
  • Textile and food industry
