 As the demands of the cable and wire industry grow, so do the challenges. Cable reels are getting larger, heavier, and more difficult to move efficiently through manufacturing and distribution facilities. Manufacturers are seeking ways to improve safety, minimize downtime, and reduce the physical strain on workers — all while maintaining production speed and precision.

That’s where Align Production Systems comes in. With over 50 years of experience in heavy industry material handling, we specialize in equipment that helps manufacturers move the heaviest loads — including massive cable reels. At Interwire 2025, located in booth 227,  we are excited to share solutions to meet the unique challenges faced by the cable and wire industry.

Why We’re Exhibiting at Interwire

We are exhibiting at Interwire because we understand the industry’s evolving needs. Cable reels are no longer the small, manageable spools of the past; today, many reels weigh thousands of pounds and require advanced handling solutions. Manufacturers need equipment that can keep pace — providing flexibility, reducing risk, and minimizing the labor needed to move products through each stage of production.
Interwire gives us the opportunity to connect directly with manufacturers who are searching for smarter, safer ways to handle cable reels and streamline their operations.

Cable Reel Transporters

Our cable reel transporters are engineered specifically for the cable and wire industry. We offer two main styles:

  • Fixed Cradle Transporters: These are designed to handle reels of a specific size. The cradle securely supports the reel during transport, providing a stable, reliable method of movement that reduces the chance of tipping or damage.
  • Adjustable Cradle Transporters: These units are built with adjustable cradles that can adapt to different reel diameters and widths. This flexibility allows manufacturers to handle multiple reel sizes with a single transporter, improving operational efficiency and reducing the need for multiple pieces of equipment.

Both transporter types offer powerful drive systems, easy-to-use controls, and robust construction to handle the heaviest reels safely and reliably.

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)

AGVs are an ideal solution for manufacturers looking to automate the movement of cable reels through their facilities. Align’s AGVs are:

  • Custom-Designed for Cable Reel Handling: Built to handle the unique weight distribution and size of large reels.
  • Flexible Navigation Options: Including LiDAR, optical line following, or magnetic wire, allowing the AGVs to fit into your existing plant layout.
  • Safety-Focused: Equipped with blue spotlights, laser scanners, and emergency stop functions to ensure safe movement around people and other equipment.
  • Operational Efficiency: Able to run continuously with minimal human interaction, freeing up operators for higher-value tasks.

By replacing forklifts and manual handling with AGVs, manufacturers can increase throughput, reduce accident risk, and create a more predictable, scalable production environment.

Custom Engineered Solutions

No two cable and wire facilities are the same — and sometimes, standard equipment isn’t enough. That’s why Align offers fully custom-engineered systems tailored to your specific needs. Our engineering team works closely with customers to:

  • Develop custom cradles, platforms, or carriers based on reel sizes and handling requirements.
  • Design automation systems that integrate with your plant’s production flow, improving overall efficiency.
  • Create transporters or lifts that handle not only cable reels but also other heavy production materials if needed.

Custom solutions ensure that even the most complex material handling challenges are solved with efficiency and long-term reliability in mind.
