Turret Reel Trailers expand your Utility Telecom Versatility
Felling Trailers, Inc.’s Self Loading Turret Reel trailer is a valuable tool for any fleet. With a 360-degree hydraulically operated rotating turret assembly, the FT-14-2 R Turret can lock into any position when the directional control valve is released. Keeping mindful of equipment, time, and operator safety the turret’s self-loading feature eliminates the need to have extra equipment and operators on-site to lift and load the reel as on a fixed reel trailer. The hydraulic payout/take-up assembly is a sealed gear-driven unit. Keeping repair work to a minimum, there are no chains or sprockets to break or wear out. The drive unit is exceptionally smooth and quiet to operate, quickly engages, and disengages from the reel bar. Not only does it payout and retrieves but also has optional hydraulic braking capabilities. Hydraulic brake tensioning eliminates the heat generated by a traditional caliper and rotor. This reduces line gallop and allows for a longer tensioning duration. The generated heat is absorbed in the hydraulic oil and dissipated by the oil cooler.
