For winding and transporting compact inline pipe of 400 mm dia., reels of an outer diameter of 3700 mm are needed. For carrying such large reels we have designed our trailer BRT 65 with an open rear side to enable the reel to be placed inside the trailer frame for being picked up.
Two vertical pocket jacks, which may independently be moved up and down by an engine-driven hydraulic drive system and which are secured for transport by locking pins, lift the reel.
The twin roller reel drive system for turning and braking the reel is also driven by this hydraulic drive system.
