Reel Payout Machines & Equipment

Cable Payout Equipment That Unwinds Without the Headaches

Graham International reel payout machines safely lift, hold, and dispense wire and cable from reels of all sizes. Our cable payout equipment is built for electrical wholesale distribution centers, wire manufacturers, construction contractors, and anyone who needs to reliably unwind wire from a reel without tangles, tipping, or operator injury. Every machine is designed, engineered, and manufactured in Michigan, USA, and backed by the strongest warranty in the industry.

Our payout machine lineup covers lift capacities from 2,500 to 20,000 pounds, handling reels up to 108 inches in diameter. The H-series hydraulic payout machines — H6P, H8P, H10P, and H15P — use push-button hydraulic lift to raise the reel to payout height with no manual effort. The H20SP Shaftless Payout handles the largest and heaviest reels without requiring an axle shaft through the reel arbor. The TJ23P and CJ2P cover lighter-capacity operations with hydraulic jack lift and a smaller footprint.

Our A-Frame payouts are designed to be loaded from any side by pallet jack or forklift, making warehouse loading and job site placement significantly faster. Steel A-frame construction with precision-rolling wheels handles uneven warehouse floors and outdoor job sites. The 5059 Step-Lift Tip-Up Payout Cart provides manual tip-up reel loading for standard-size reels where a powered lift is not required. Floor Rollers with precision ball bearings provide smooth, quiet payout support for large reels directly from the floor. Turntable payouts handle remnant coils and broken reels too small for standard payout machines.

Every Graham International payout machine ships with wearproof axle saddles, adjustable axle brackets, and easy-rolling precision-bearing casters as standard equipment. Braking is handled via adjustable floor lock brakes that hold the machine secure during payout operations. Optional measuring devices add accurate cut-to-length capability to any payout setup — pairing a payout machine with an M200WD counter gives you accurate length measurement from a standard reel payout operation.

Whether you need a cable payout machine for a distribution warehouse, manufacturing floor, job site, or custom application, Graham International builds the equipment for it. Our payout machines are available in standard configurations or custom-built to your reel size and weight specifications. Contact us with your reel sizes, maximum weight, and application requirements — we will specify the right payout machine for your operation. All Graham International payout machines are covered by our 2-year component plus 5-year craftsmanship warranty.
