Rotating reel system

A reel system comprising:

• a reel rotatable around a first axis to receive or deploy a windable line;
• a frame supporting the reel and including:
• a first arm and a second arm, the first arm laterally spaced from second arm along the first axis;
• a tubular shaft extending between the first arm and the second arm and rotatably supporting the reel along the first axis;
• and
• a plate connecting the first arm to the second arm, the plate extending parallel to, and laterally offset from, the first axis;
• a base securable to a vehicle and supporting the frame;
• a bearing assembly including:
• a first member connected to the plate of the frame;
• a second member connected to the base and rotatably engaged with the first member to enable relative rotation of the base with respect to the frame and the reel around a second axis;
• and
• a supply line connected to the windable line to connect the windable line to a supply source;
• a locking system comprising:
• a pin connected to the frame, the pin movable between an unlocked position where the reel and the frame are rotatable with respect to the base, and a locked position where relative rotation of the reel and the frame with respect to the base is limited;
• and
• an actuator operable to move the pin between the locked position and the unlocked position;
• and
• a controller in communication with the actuator to operate the actuator to move the pin based on a received lock signal or a received unlock signal.
