Abstract
A reel system, especially for rolling up strip steel, in which a rotatable housing is provided which has two circumferentially spaced spindles extending therefrom parallel to the axis of the housing, a gear in the housing is provided for each spindle and each spindle can be clutched to the housing or to the respective gear. A motor on the outside of the housing drives a gear meshing with the first mentioned gears while a ring gear on the housing meshes with a motor driven pinion for rotation of the housing. The housing carries clamp arms actuatable for clamping a wound up reel on each spindle. The arrangement permits each spindle to be positioned selectively in reeling up position for winding up a reel while the other spindle is positioned for discharging a reel previously wound up thereon.
