GPC Vulcan Reel Handling Pallet Truck

Description

The GPC Vulcan Reel Handling Pallet Truck is a specialised materials-handling solution built to lift, cradle, and transport cylindrical loads such as reels, rolls, and coils with maximum safety.

Its reinforced steel chassis and reliable hydraulic pump provide smooth lifting performance, while the V-shaped fork rollers are designed to hold round loads securely without slipping or shifting. This makes it an essential tool in environments where reel handling is routine, including cable production, paper conversion, packaging, and textile operations.
