Abstract
This invention provides a system for supporting and unwinding/paying out wire from multiple spools, including a framework for supporting the plurality of wire spools. A mount is constructed and arranged to attach to mobile equipment, such as a skid steer. The framework includes forward extended beams that support a plurality of removable axles. There are axles adapted to rotatably retain a plurality of spools of wire therealong. A plurality of removable sleeves are located along each of the axles that retain the spools, respectively, against motion therealong. A levelling assembly allows the axles to tilt relative to an angle at which the equipment is disposed. The spools can be held laterally along each respective axle by clamping sleeves/spacers.
Claims15
A framework for supporting a plurality of spools of wire comprising:
- a mount constructed and arranged to attach to mobile equipment;
- forward extended beams that support a plurality of removable axles, the axles adapted to rotatably retain the plurality of the spools of wire therealong;
- a plurality of removable sleeves located along each of the axles that retain the spools, respectively, against motion therealong;
- and
- a levelling assembly that allows the axles to tilt to an angle relative to horizontal that is different than an angle relative to horizontal at which the equipment is disposed.
A mobile equipment unit having a lifting mechanism that allows for mounting of accessories thereon comprising:
- a framework for supporting a mount constructed and arranged to attach to the mobile equipment;
- forward extended beams that support a plurality of removable axles, the axles adapted to rotatably retain a plurality of spools of wire therealong;
- a plurality of removable sleeves located along each of the axles that retain the spools, respectively, against motion therealong;
- and
- a levelling assembly that allows the axles to tilt to an angle relative to horizontal that is different than an angle relative to horizontal at which the equipment is disposed.
