These handy devices allow one person to do the work of several when lifting reels, stacking reels & removing cable from a standing reel. Two models available for reels weighing up to 3,000 lbs. (70220) & 4,500 lbs. (70240). To use, position a reel on its side so that one hole in the reel is facing up. Place the lifter inside the flange & mechanically raise the lifter by the top ring. A toggle at the bottom of the lifter, now inside the reel, will swivel &"open" allowing the entire reel to be lifted. To remove, place the reel back on a flat surface & raise the lifter by the cylindrical body rather than the top ring. This will allow the toggle to remain"closed" & the entire lifter will come clear of the reel.
