Abstract
A system to store, maneuver and pay-out material stored on reels, which reels have a central hub and a pair of reel flanges, includes a shaft for positioning through a center of the hub and a pair of flanges. The flanges are mountable to the shaft on opposite sides of the reel. Each flange is mounted to the shaft for rotation independent of the other flange and independent of the shaft. Each flange has a loading assembly for moving the shaft from a loading/unloading position eccentric of the flange to a loaded position concentric with the flange.
