AI Technical Summary
Existing solutions for transporting cable reels, particularly on non-flat or sloped construction sites, pose safety risks and violate occupational health regulations due to uncontrolled rolling and manual handling, and are too large to be delivered directly to confined areas.
A coupling device that secures a reel to a vehicle, allowing it to be towed by rotation on its flanges, featuring adjustable and flexible components for different reel sizes, and includes a rigid chassis for stability and maneuverability, with optional safety features like a counter-rotating roller and protective hoop.
Facilitates safe and efficient transport of cable reels to cable-pulling sites, reducing physical strain and ensuring compliance with safety regulations, while enabling delivery to confined areas with a small vehicle footprint.
