“KOILER-LIFT” A SPECIAL KIND OF TAKE-APART REEL -- BOXY MADE -- A take-apart reel model that can be used either between pintles or on a shaft and has an expandable barrel that allows the wire coil to be lifted and transferred once made. The sequence shows a full reel (pict.2) where the crane hooks engage in two specific positions (pict.3) so that the barrel expands and takes hold of the coil; when the coil is ready to be placed on a pallet or on the floor the hooks engage in other specific positions (pict.4) so that the barrel sectors are kept back to their position and the coil is released. This helps operators save a lot of time and makes the purchase of a coil lifter unnecessary.
