FAQs
About the POWERTWISTER®
Should cable reels only be unspooled horizontally?
It is not the position of the cable drum that is crucial, but rather the intended use position and the correct cable pull-off.
With the POWERTWISTER®, horizontal and suspended uncoiling are technically intended and permissible.
Is it permissible to lift the cable drum using the centering bore?
Yes, provided this is technically intended. Lifting via the core opening is permissible if the load is controlled and absorbed axially. The POWERTWISTER® is designed precisely for this application and ensures safe, material-friendly loading.
What is innovative about the POWERTWISTER®?
The innovation lies in the system change. Where previously cable trestles, high physical effort and several people were needed, the POWERTWISTER® now enables simple, safe and ergonomic unreeling with just one person, quickly, in a space-saving and controlled manner.
Is the POWERTWISTER more than just a U-profile on a chain?
The POWERTWISTER® is a sophisticated system, developed in Germany, from practice for practice – not just a simple metal part. The combination of T-profile, bearing, and suspension allows for controlled, safe, and ergonomic drum unwinding, meets the requirements of safety officers, and is designed for standard-compliant use, including UVV testing.
How long is the POWERTWISTER® chain?
The POWERTWISTER® is simply inserted into the central bore and aligns itself there positively; the function is created by the system, not by the chain length.
What distinguishes the POWERTWISTER® from conventional uncoiling methods?
The difference lies in the system. While conventional methods rely on cable jacks, effort, time, and multiple people, the POWERTWISTER® enables simple, space-saving, ergonomic, and safe unwinding with a clearly defined process and significantly reduced risk.
What types of drums is the POWERTWISTER® suitable for?
The POWERTWISTER® is suitable for drums with:
- Cables
- Pipes
- Ropes
- Chains
- Hoses
- Wires
It is designed for typical drummed goods in an industrial environment.
Is the POWERTWISTER® approved for commercial use?
Yes. The POWERTWISTER® is classified as a lifting accessory and complies with applicable safety requirements. A UVV inspection is included.
Why does the drum unroll so easily?
The POWERTWISTER® has an integrated ball bearing on the swivel hook. This allows for very easy and controlled unrolling.
Is there a declaration of conformity?
Yes. The declaration of conformity is included in the operating instructions. The POWERTWISTER® complies with relevant European safety guidelines, among others.
Is a UVV inspection included?
Yes. A UVV inspection is included in the scope of delivery.
When does the POWERTWISTER® pay for itself?
Due to time savings, reduced personnel costs, and avoided damage, the POWERTWISTER® can pay for itself in many companies after a short period.
