ABSTRACT:
A cable winding reel drive apparatus especially adapted to reel in or pay out cable from a reel. The apparatus comprises a trailer assembly having a base frame, and mounted thereon a reel lifting and carrying device adapted to lift a loaded or unloaded reel to an operative position, a movable secondary frame adapted to move from a forward disengaged position to a rearward engaged position, a reel drive mechanism comprising pneumatic tires and retaining members mounted upon said secondary frame, and actuating means to move said secondary frame from the forward disengaged to the rearward engaged position. After the reel is secured within the reel lifting and carrying device, it is lifted by hydraulic jacks to an operative position wherein the secondary frame is moved rearwardly such that the reel drive mechanism engages the reel, whereupon cable may be reeled onto or payed out from the reel.
