A spool configured to support a roll of material. The spool comprises an arbor, a first flange, and a second flange. The first flange includes a first plurality of flange panels that are rotatably connected to respective arbor panels of the arbor at a first arbor edge of the arbor. The second flange is connected to a second arbor edge of the arbor. The first flange is configured to transition between a retention configuration and an open configuration. In the retention configuration, the roll of material is substantially prevented from removal from the arbor along an arbor axis by the first and second flanges. In the open configuration, the roll of material is removable from the arbor and receivable on the arbor in the arbor direction.

A system includes a collapsible trailer frame and a lifting mechanism coupled to the collapsible trailer frame. The lifting mechanism is configured to raise or lower a coil of pipe or a reel of pipe. The system also includes a braking mechanism.

The disclosure concerns large reels used for transportation and storage of cables or wires. The present invention describes a separable cable reel which is constructed from component parts which may be quickly and easily disassembled and reassembled. The separable reel design has four primary components: a first flange, a second flange, a core, and a plurality of looped bands. The two flanges are coupled to the core and the band or bands are coupled between the two flanges.

The core is formed from a plurality of struts. The struts span between the flanges and are inserted into strut pockets on the inner sides of each flange. As the bands are placed in tensioned they pull the flanges toward each other, applying a compressive force to the core struts. When the user wishes to disassemble the reel they may remove the bands and pull apart the reel components. The separable reel may be transported disassembled. When desired the separable reel may be reassembled and reused.

An interlocked pay off reel comprises square or rectangular endplates that can be interlocked together to build a wall or skid of reels, and which allows the cable to be unspooled or paid out easily using a simple assembly. The pay off reel comprises two round flanges configured to hold respective ends of a cable spool. The flanges can be snapped to respective two square endplates, which elevate the spool and act as a stable base. The engagement mechanism between the flanges and the endplates permits the spool and flanges to rotate during pay off and applies frictional braking to prevent the spool from back spinning and freewheeling. Handles are built into the endplates so that the reel can be handled and moved easily. Interlock mechanisms on multiple sides and surfaces of the endplates permit the endplates to be locked to other endplates in all directions, allowing stacks of reels to be assembled.
