The RT bed features a hydraulic reel-lift and payout system with synchronized squeeze arms and up to 5,500-lb reel capacity, giving crews fast, controlled reel handling. Designed for fiber and utility work, it eliminates the need for a reel trailer and allows loading, hauling, and payout directly from the truck bed.
A reel loader bed is built to help fiber and utility crews consolidate equipment and reduce the number of vehicles required on a jobsite. With the right reel transport upfit, crews can carry reels on the truck while towing a mini excavator or horizontal drill behind it. Instead of running separate trucks for reels, equipment, and support, this type of reel truck build allows the same work to be completed with one less vehicle, improving efficiency, reducing logistics, and simplifying fleet needs.
