The hydraulic drum handling system helps operators lift, position, rewind and unwind cable reels during transport and cable laying. It is designed for power cable, telecom cable and utility infrastructure work where controlled reel movement is essential.
Hydraulic arms help lift and position heavy cable drums with controlled movement.
Supports cable payout and retrieval with better control during site operations.
Arm widening and left-right movement help match different reel widths and working positions.

The trailer can be operated with an Autec sensitive joystick remote for major hydraulic functions. Remote control improves visibility, control and workflow when handling reels in tight or active job sites.
Major hydraulic movements can be controlled remotely for precise reel handling.
Manual control support keeps operation practical when direct local control is preferred.
A controlled hydraulic system helps reduce manual handling during cable reel operations.
