Sounds like it would be similar to the machines used to lay field tile.
If you could get it on this, it should spool out.

There are some old horizontal pay out trailers that were largely used
for open wire line. No idea where you could find one. But even if
you had to remove all the reel parts and just have the coils you could
use that.
You could make one by taking a truck or trailer wheel and spindle and
making a horizontal lazy susan turntable to put the reel on and pay it
out that way.

Subject: [AFMUG] Fiber on bad spool
I have some 144 fiber that is sitting on a wooden spool that is
rotting away. Apparently this spool is in real bad shape. I'm
waiting on some pictures to see how bad. Guys are telling me we are
going to have to abandon all the fiber. I hoping to try to re-spool
it to another spool.
Any tips or tricks?
