Heavy rolls. Controlled orientation.
Moving a reel by hand and changing its orientation are two different tasks. At a converting or printing line, the handling method must suit the roll surface, winding strength and space around the machine—not only its weight.
Before selecting equipment or materials
Match the material, the operation and the site—not just a catalogue label. Use the checks below to describe the actual task.
Film, paper or another cylindrical load; surface sensitivity and winding condition.
Maximum roll weight, diameter, width and the required orientation.
Pickup height, loading height and clearance around nearby machinery.
Clamp, lift and rotate.
The demonstration shows roll lifting and rotation. DUBHE’s rotating roll clamp configurations combine outside-diameter gripping with lifting and orientation adjustment. Confirm the illustrated model, approved roll range and required clearances before matching the action to your site.
Can a roll clamp forklift turn every type of reel?
No single clamp setting suits every roll. Diameter, width, roll strength, surface sensitivity and the required movement need to be assessed together. Use the video to explain your task, then confirm a model-specific configuration.
