The invention relates to a reel employed in the transportation and shifting of reeled metal products such as tubes, and to an apparatus for shifting the reel. The plastic reel is composed of two flanges (2) and of intermediate staves (1) placed in between the flanges. The stave ends are fastened to the flanges through apertures (4) by aid of toothed flaps (7) located at the stave ends. In addition to this, the flanges are provided with a central opening and apertures for the hoisting and fastening members of the shifting apparatus. The hoisting and shifting apparatus (Figs. 4 & 5) comprises a horizontal annular frame (8), support tubes (9) depending downwardly therefrom and controls (10), as well as a vertically operated hoist arc (11). A hoist ring (14) is geared to the hoist arc, and the hoist arc (11) is supported against the annular frame (8) by intermediation of support arcs (12, 13). <IMAGE> |
