ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for reeling cables, wires and other flexible members. A first side frame and a second side frame are moveable relative to each other to receive and support a reel between them. Each side frame includes a cradle defining at least part of a pintle aperture for receiving a respective pintle. Each pintle is rotatably mounted on a linkage assembly, and extends through a respective pintle aperture toward the opposing frame, and is moveable in at least two directions within a vertical plane relative to the adjacent cradle for aligning the pintle with a center hole of a reel. A lift motor is coupled to both side frames for substantially simultaneously moving both side frames relative to the ground, and in turn driving the cradles into engagement with the pintles to lift the pintles and a reel supported on the pintles above ground. A pintle drive motor is mounted on the first side frame and coupled to the respective pintle for rotating the pintle upon operation of the drive motor, and in turn rotating the reel supported on the pintles. A chain is coupled between the driven pintle and the drive motor, and guide members are supported adjacent the chain to prevent uncoupling of the chain from the driven pintle, upon movement of the driven pintle relative to the drive motor when aligning the driven pintle with the center hole of a reel.
