ABSTRACT:
A lifting and support system for heavy reels of wire or cable, wherein the apparatus utilized for obtaining positioning of the reel for easy unwinding or uncoiling of wire or cable that is wound on said reel, is rugged in construction, simple to use, and of low manufacturing cost. The system involves the placement, of an axle, shaft or horizontal support, which may be one continuous length or two shorter lengths, positioned through or on the lateral sides of the reel to provide means whereby, through a simplified hoist mechanism, one side of the reel may be lifted off the ground or floor surface at a time. Once one side of the reel is in elevated position, the hoist mechanism permits pivotal or arcuate movement of the reel so as to position the reel for subsequent wire or cable pulling. Once one end of the reel has been elevated, a simplified support structure is placed thereunder, which support structure is collapsible and easily transportable requiring no tools to put it in the erected, reel supporting state. Once the support member is positioned on the elevated side of the reel, the hoist mechanism is removed and positioned on the opposite side of the reel to elevate same to the level of the opposite, elevated side. Once elevated this other side of the reel has positioned beneath the support member, a like support means as positioned on the already other, elevated side of the reel. Once the second support member is positioned, the hoist may be removed and the reel is now in elevated position for easy unwinding of the stored wire or cable on the drum of the reel.
