Investing in purpose-built lifting and moving equipment offers measurable advantages for your workplace environment:
Every piece of roll handling equipment we produce is built to withstand rigorous daily use in demanding commercial settings. Our RL Series features cutting-edge innovations engineered for superior usability:
Our lifters utilise our exclusive, patented twin-speed hydraulic innovation. DuoPump™ is intelligent, load-sensing technology that adapts instantly, delivering up to 6x faster lift speeds for lighter loads without compromising safety for heavy ones, without the need for heavy batteries of electrical equipment.
Navigating confined spaces is made effortless thanks to precision ball-bearing castors that allow full rotation and swivel operation. For highly demanding tracking and positioning, our lifters can be fitted with fixed front rollers combined with a rear-steer configuration, giving operators unmatched control in narrow gangways.
Whether using our wide semi-circular cradles (scoops) for long rolls or our single central boom attachments for hollow cores, loading and unloading is effortless. Features like integrated transfer plates, support straps and quick-release safety latches ensure that reels slide smoothly onto machine spindles without manual forcing.
Different reels demand different handling methods. We offer a range of RL Series lifters to match the size, weight and access requirements of your operation.
For general reel lifting and unloading
The RL2 Reel Lifter is a heavy-duty 250kg model with a rolling boom system for safe loading from dollies or the floor, plus smooth unloading at the destination. It is well suited to controlled reel handling where stability and straightforward transfer are key.
For tight working areas
The RL2S Reel Lifter offers the same 250kg lifting capacity but is designed for tighter spaces, using full swivel castors for excellent manoeuvrability in confined work areas.
For deeper reels
The RL6 Deep Reel Lifter is designed for reels up to 720mm wide and provides stable rolling-boom handling for wider industrial reels.
For bespoke pallet-access or specialised handling
Where standard equipment is not enough, MJ Products can develop bespoke reel handling equipment around your exact requirements. A project for Butternut Box created a custom reel lifter for 800mm reels up to 300kg, lifted directly from pallets using a wide straddle trolley and a 400kg SWL design.

The RL Series Reel & Roll Lifters have been a game changer for our operations. Handling cylindrical rolls of various materials, like paper and film, used to be a challenge, but these lifters have made the process incredibly efficient and safe. The semi-circular platform cradles the rolls perfectly, and the manoeuvrability through narrow doorways is a major benefit for our tight workspace.
The integrated transfer plate and support straps make it easy to load and unload rolls with minimal effort, saving us time and reducing strain on our team.
The quick-release latch on the boom is another standout feature, ensuring secure movement and smooth unloading. We couldn’t be happier with the performance of these lifters and the range of customisation options available to fit our needs.
Uses our patented DuoPump technology for fast lifting of the load with an intuitive single pedal operation for lifting and lowering.
Lifting ranges from 600mm to 2400mm
Our products are designed and manufactured in-house, using the latest manufacturing techniques, CE/UKCA Marked and rigorously tested to ensure compliance with all relevant standards.
