Sounding Reel, B56, Power Option

The standard B-56 is supplied with a bull drive gear on the end of the drum to be used for power drive. Most applications just require hand cranking so all the components to use the reel with the power drive unit are not supplied. The Power Option includes jack shaft, bearings, V-belt drive sheave and miscellaneous parts to allow the B-56 to be used with power. These components can be installed at the factory or are designed to be easily installed in the field with no special tools. The jack shaft gearing remains engaged at all times and when the reel is used with power, the motor is used only to raise the equipment.
