High-Capacity Coil Removal Lift with Hydraulic Shuttle
Introduction
Custom engineered heavy-duty coil lift with hydraulic shuttle movement to remove oversized coils from coiling machine.
Project Challenge
Reel Power, a global leader in industrial coiling and reeling systems, needed a robust solution to streamline the removal of oversized coil products from a large coiling machine. The operation required a lift system that could not only manage extremely heavy loads but also integrate into a tight production space with minimal disruption.
Autoquip designed and delivered a custom 72” travel coil lift equipped with a hydraulic-powered shuttle, specifically engineered for this heavy-duty application.
Application challenges:
- Integration with large coiling machine requiring precise alignment and mobility
- Safe removal and transfer of coil products weighing up to 32,000 lbs.
- Need for limited, controlled travel to ensure repeatable and safe operation
Our Solution
Autoquip designed and delivered a custom Super Titan 72” travel coil lift equipped with a hydraulic-powered shuttle, specifically engineered for this heavy-duty application.
- Hydraulic Shuttle System: Allows powered forward/reverse transverse movement of the lift, enabling easy access to and removal from the coiler station.
- Single Flange Iron Wheels (x4): Provide stability and smooth guided motion during transfer.
- 32,000 lb. Max Lifting Capacity: Capable of supporting the heaviest coil loads in Reel Power’s production line.
- Power Up, Gravity Down: A reliable and energy-efficient lift control method.
- Limit Switch System: Configured to limit travel for precise platform positioning to the coil.

The Results
The completed lift system slid seamlessly into the coiler station and immediately enhanced operational efficiency. Reel Power operators can now safely and quickly remove oversized coils with minimal manual handling and increased throughput. The precision of the hydraulic shuttle system enables exact alignment with the coiling equipment, improving overall workflow and reducing downtime.
With Autoquip’s engineered solution, Reel Power was able to:
- Increase efficiency and safety during the coil removal process
- Integrate new lifting equipment with minimal disruption
- Support the scale-up to larger product sizes with confidence
