Why Use This Product
Moving reels by hand, with a forklift, or by rolling them across the floor risks damaged reels, rollaways and back injuries. The LFRRM 1001 grips the reel by its flanges with rubber-padded arms, lifts it up to 69", and turns it in locked 90-degree steps, so a reel can go from standing on end to lying flat, or the other way, under full control. Every function is manual: the operator pumps the lift, pushes the unit, clamps the reel and turns it by hand. With no motor or battery, there’s nothing to charge and no powered-truck certification program to run, which makes it the simplest, lowest-cost way into reel rotation for operations that handle reels a few times a shift.

Key Features Explained
♦ Rubber-padded gripping arms: The arms close on the reel flanges with rubber-covered pads for maximum friction and a gentle grip on soft, smooth and hard reels. Two-point clamping covers reels from 4.7" to 50", and three-point clamping holds larger reels from 31.5" to 50".
♦ Release interlock: The gripping arms can’t be opened by mistake, and a reel can only be released once it’s set down on the floor or a pallet.
♦ Manual rotation in locked 90-degree steps: The operator turns the reel and a locking system holds it at each 90-degree position. The 32.5" minimum rotation height applies only to the electric-rotation models, so this one can turn reels at any lift height.
♦ Two-speed manual lift: The hydraulic pump has a normal speed for heavy reels (0.31" per stroke) and a quick speed for empty or light lifts (1" per stroke), and loaded lowering is limited to about 2" per second.
♦ No battery, no certification program: With every function manual, the LFRRM 1001 isn’t a powered industrial truck under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178, so there’s no operator certification program or battery charging to manage. Operators should still be trained on safe use.

Best-Fit Use Cases
♦ Loading and unloading reels at printing, converting, packaging and film lines
♦ Turning reels between vertical and horizontal at the machine
♦ Picking reels off the floor or open-entry pallets
♦ Lower-volume reel handling where a powered machine isn’t justified

Ready to Order
Check that your largest reel is within 50" in diameter, and weigh your heaviest loaded reel: a full reel of heavy cable can easily pass the 1,100 lb capacity. The fork-over design needs open-entry pallets. For solid-deck or closed-bottom pallets, choose the straddle-leg LFSRRM 1001. For electric lift and clamping, step up to the ELFRRM 1001. Logitrans also offers tailor-made solutions. Call 866-333-0728 and we’ll help you match the rotator to your reels.

Is the LFRRM 1001 the Right Reel Rotator for You?
A 48" reel of heavy copper cable can weigh well over 1,100 pounds, and the fully manual LFRRM 1001 is the only fork-over model that skips OSHA operator certification. Our buying guide compares all eight Logitrans reel rotators model by model, with reel sizes, weights and the upgrade ladder from manual to fully powered.
