Under-Rollers – Heavy-Duty Support and Rotation of Cable and Umbilical Reels

AHS under-rollers are designed to support and rotate large reels used for subsea cables and umbilicals during storage, spooling, and handling operations. The system provides stable load distribution and low-friction rotation, enabling safe and controlled handling of heavy reels in manufacturing plants, port facilities, and installation bases.

Engineered for demanding industrial environments, the under-roller units accommodate extremely high reel loads while maintaining smooth and reliable rotation. AHS has delivered systems capable of handling reels weighing up to 800 tonnes, among the largest of their kind in operation.

The system features a dynamic and adjustable configuration that allows it to accommodate reels with varying widths and diameters. This flexibility enables operators to handle different reel sizes without major mechanical modifications, improving operational efficiency and reducing setup time.

Robust roller assemblies and heavy-duty frames ensure long service life and predictable performance under continuous operation. By ensuring stable reel support and controlled rotation, AHS under-rollers reduce mechanical stress on reels and improve safety and efficiency in cable and umbilical manufacturing, storage, and logistics operations.
