Bespoke Polyethylene Spooling Paddle with Reinforced Steel Handle
The Bespoke Polyethylene Spooling Paddle is a purpose-built handling tool designed to assist with the controlled guidance and positioning of umbilicals and similar flexible products during carousel spooling operations.
Machined from durable polyethylene, the paddle incorporates a reinforced steel tube handle to provide strength and rigidity while maintaining a lower overall weight than conventional timber paddles. Its lightweight construction makes the tool easier for operators to handle during repetitive spooling activities, while the polyethylene paddle offers excellent durability for demanding offshore, subsea and cable-handling environments.
