Abstract
A reel carrier that includes a pallet having a platform bound by a frame and a shaft. The carrier includes a reel that is supported on the shaft. The reel includes a round drum rotatable about the shaft, wherein the rotation may be in a forward and/or a reverse or backward rotational direction. The carrier also includes a motor operably coupled to cause rotation of the drum and may be further operably coupled to cause deployment and/or retraction of one or more wheels included with the pallet, wherein the motor also controls locomotion of the one or more wheels.
Claims17
A reel carrier for a rolled product, the reel carrier comprising:
- a pallet having a platform bound by a frame, the pallet supporting a shaft rotatable in a forward and reverse direction, the pallet having at least one sidewall upwardly depending from the frame;
- an adjustable step depending from the platform;
- a reel supported on the shaft and rotatable about the shaft in a forward and a reverse direction, the reel configured to take-up the rolled product thereon to subsequently pay-off the rolled product from the top-side of the reel in an over-the-top delivery to optimize the structural integrity of the rolled product and minimize the structural stress of the rolled product;
- a motor operably coupled to cause rotation of the shaft supporting the reel;
- and
- a charging system for recharging one or more batteries operatively coupled to the motor.

A reel carrier for a rolled product, the reel carrier comprising:
- a pallet having a platform bound by a frame, the pallet supporting a shaft rotatable in a forward and reverse direction, the pallet having a plurality of sidewalls upwardly depending from the frame;
- an adjustable step depending from the platform;
- a reel supported on the shaft and rotatable about the shaft in a forward and a reverse direction, the reel configured to take-up the rolled product thereon to subsequently pay-off the rolled product from the top-side of the reel in an over-the-top delivery to optimize the structural integrity of the rolled product and minimize the structural stress of the rolled product;
- a motor operably coupled to cause rotation of the shaft supporting the reel;
- and
- a charging system for recharging one or more batteries operatively coupled to the motor.
