Device for handling reels

A device for moving reels (B), comprising at least one support upright associable with a transport vehicle (V), and at least one manipulation head for manipulating the reels (B), such manipulation head connected to said support upright,

• said manipulation head comprising at least one first grip member, provided with a first terminal element adapted to grasp at least one of said reels (B) at a first opening of a central through hole,
• wherein said first terminal element defines a respective operative axis and can be expanded, with shape that can vary between an inactive configuration, in which said first terminal element can be freely inserted in the first opening of the central through hole of said at least one of the reels (B), and an operative configuration, in which said first terminal element is expanded such to exert a friction grip action on an internal surface of the central through hole,
• and wherein said manipulation head comprises a second grip member provided with a second terminal element adapted to grasp said at least one of the reels (B) at a second opening (B3) of the central through hole (B1), opposite the first opening (B2), wherein said second grip member is movable between an inactive position of minimum bulk, and an operative position, in which said second terminal element is coaxial with said operative axis of said first terminal element.
