Spool Winding Trolley

Respool reels without removing them from jack stands.

The BHS Spool Winding Trolley (SWT-LITE) saves time and labor in cut-to-length wire distribution applications. Position the unit over a BHS Parallel Reel Payout (PRP) or existing jack stands; an overhead rim drive spins take-up reels of virtually any size to fill them efficiently and safely.

Most spooling and reeling machines (such as the standard Reel-O-Matic or a Wemco take-up)* require users to remove reels from jack stands for respooling. In contrast, the SWT’s design enables respooling on a wide variety of reel configurations without removing them from stands. Fill cable, wire, and flexible materials directly onto delivery reels without laborious extra steps.

The SWT pays off cables to one or more compartment reels, counting linear footage that passes through a knurled aluminum encoder wheel. Each revolution pays out 1 foot of cable, ensuring accurate counts, exactly to spec from BIM data; this eliminates waste on every order.

The SWT is also available as an IIoT-enabled model, the SWT-IIOT. Learn more about this fully wired, data-fueled spool winder here.

All models of SWT allow electricians and electrical suppliers to respool reels with multiple conductors in a fraction of the time, reducing ergonomic hazards and providing a dependable ROI.
