Logitrans LFSRRM 1001 Straddle Legs Reel Rotator for Transporting, Lifting, and Rotating Reels

The Logitrans LFSRRM 1001 Straddle Legs Reel Rotator is designed to transport, lift, and rotate heavy reels, especially when reels are stored or staged on closed pallets. The straddle-leg design enables the unit to approach and grip reels on a wide range of pallet types while maintaining stability and maneuverability. This fully manual model provides lift, push, rotation, and clamping with a 1,100-pound capacity and a 69-inch lifting height. It handles reel diameters from 4.7 inches to 50 inches, with gripping arms that open to 51 inches and rubber-covered pads that increase friction while providing a gentle hold on both soft and hard reels.

Why Use This Product

Use this reel rotator when your operation handles heavy reels on pallets, and you want to reduce risk, product damage, and physical strain during movement and changeovers. Reels on closed pallets can be difficult to grip and position with standard lift trucks or improvised methods, increasing the risk of rollaways and handling damage. The LFSRRM 1001 is purpose-built to secure the reel with clamping arms designed not to open inadvertently. Reels can only be released when set down on the floor or a pallet, which adds a practical layer of safety during staging and placement.

How It Helps Your Operation
The LFSRRM 1001 improves workflow by making reel handling more controlled and repeatable across receiving, storage, staging, and production. Operators can transport reels through tighter aisles with better maneuverability, then lift and orient reels using a locking system that sets tilt in 90-degree increments for consistent positioning. Two lifting speeds, normal and quick, help match speed to the task, while two clamping speeds support faster securing and releasing. Steering on both wheels improves control in congested production areas and reduces time spent repositioning, thereby shortening changeovers and reducing bottlenecks without adding complex powered systems.

Typical Uses
♦  Handling reels stored on closed pallets in warehouses and production areas
♦  Transporting reels between receiving, staging, and converting or printing lines
♦  Rotating reels between vertical and horizontal orientations during changeovers
♦  Positioning reels onto mandrels, unwind stands, or reel handling fixtures
♦  Managing soft materials that require gentle gripping to prevent damage
♦  Reducing forklift involvement in tight aisles or near sensitive equipment
♦  Supporting safer reel staging for quality inspection, counting, or labeling
