I saw this huge reel trailer this morning on the side of the road a couple miles from my house, with 3 big reels of duct, one in front of the other. I was thinking WTF? On the way back I saw they were boring and pulling all 3 ducts into the ground. Must have big plans.

You can weld one up out of angle iron and put it on the back of a flat bed truck or trailer. Yes, you normally need a forklift too. -----Original Message----- From: Adam Moffett Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2015 3:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AFMUG] Handling big reels What do you use to handle large spools of cable? Forklift? Reel trailer with hydraulics? One vendor suggested I look at reel trailers for one that can crank up to the height of a tractor trailer. I'm not sure if he's an idiot or if that's a real thing.
