The Bartell Gantry or Bridge style of Pay-offs and Take-ups are different from any of the other styles because of the orientation of the lift arms which are supported by rails on the top of the frame. They are available as traversing or stationary reel machines. The traversing machine has the lift arms and the reel traversing side to side, while the frame is stationary. On the stationary machine, the arms move only as much as is required for the loading and unloading of the reels. The stationary machine has its own traverse assembly that uniformly lays the product onto the reel. Available in configurations up to 120 inches and 88,000lbs Bartell as the equipment to meet any need. Custom configuration available upon request.
