The Sitecraft Lightweight Electric Reel Lifter – Steel Frame is designed for everyday reel lifting and roll handling where agility, control, and operator safety matter most.

Built with durable steel construction and a compact electric lift system, this reel lifter is ideal for light to medium reels, rolls, and web materials commonly used in packaging, printing, warehousing, and production environments. Its lightweight design improves manoeuvrability in tight spaces while still delivering reliable performance for consistent daily roll handling equipment needs.

Compatible with a full range of core grippers and reel attachments, the lifter can be configured for horizontal or vertical reel and roll handling, wrapping operations, or web reel lifting where accurate positioning and controlled movement are required. Electric lifting reduces manual effort and operator strain, creating safer and more predictable web handling workflows.

This model is best suited to operations that require frequent reel or roll changes, precise positioning, and flexible attachment options without the size or weight of heavy-duty reel lifters.

Key benefits:

• Lightweight steel construction for easy reel and roll positioning
• Electric lift for safer, controlled reel lifting and web handling
• Compatible with manual, articulated, vertical, and electric core grippers
• Configurable for wrapping, loading, and general roll handling equipment applications

Ideal for facilities prioritising agility over maximum lift capacity

For higher load capacities or hygiene-critical environments, Sitecraft also offers heavy-duty and stainless steel electric reel lifter options within the same range.

The Lightweight Electric Reel Lifter is a highly configurable unit, allowing it to be tailored to suit specific roll handling tasks and site conditions, including:

• Attachments and core grippers – manual, articulated, vertical, or electric core grippers to suit different reel and roll types
• Mast height options – configurable lifting heights to match storage, loading, or machine-feed requirements
• Controls – electric lift controls designed for smooth, precise reel and roll positioning
• Leg and base configurations – options to suit access, clearance, and stability needs
• Load capacity selection – configured to safely handle light to medium reel and roll weights

This configurability ensures the lifter integrates seamlessly into existing processes while supporting changing reel, roll, and web handling requirements.

Attachment Options for Roll Handling

Boom – Tube Ø35: reach and stability for roll engagement and positioning

Manual Core Gripper: simple, dependable roll capture for routine changeovers

Vertical Core Gripper: better control when handling rolls in a vertical orientation

Articulated Core Gripper: improved positioning for wrapping and alignment tasks

Electric Core Gripper: faster, more consistent gripping for higher-frequency roll handling

Attachment choice changes how quickly you can engage the roll, how stable the roll is during movement, and how accurately you can align it during loading.
