Under-roller Systems
Our range of Under-rollers includes crane and self-loading options.
Catering for lightweight 60Te capacity options, up to high-capacity Under-Rollers suitable for reels up to 350Te (including product).

Under-roller Systems
Ideal for onshore spooling and decommissioning projects, Under-rollers offer an economical alternative to heavy-duty solutions, with rapid set-up and a more compact footprint.
Motive Under-roller packages have delivered unique project solutions for our clients. During a pipeline replacement project within a sensitive national park environment, our Under-rollers were used to create a continuous deployment "assembly line" utilising a pontoon system.
By optimising the deck footprint and allowing for back-to-back reel operations, the Motive Personnel team completed a complex relocation in just 25 hours, significantly reducing costs and environmental disruption.
Lightweight Under-rollers
Under-rollers for restricted access
A range of lightweight, compact under-rollers is also available, perfect for storing or pulling out cable, umbilical, and pipe, on-site or around the yard where space or access may be restricted.
The lightweight 60Te capacity under-rollers consist of four powered rollers in carriages. Loading in either direction is possible with powered bi-directional wheels and braking in both directions.
