Introduction to Coil Handling
In the rapidly evolving world of industrial material handling, specialized cart solutions are pivotal in enhancing efficiency and safety. We offer various types of carts for different industries. These include steel coil carts, heavy-duty coil carts, and coil transfer carts. These solutions provide unparalleled efficiency, precision, and adaptability, ensuring they meet the requirements of various material handling tasks.
Understanding Coil Carts
A coil cart is a specialized piece of equipment designed to transport and handle coiled materials, such as steel rolls, paper rolls, and other cylindrical objects. These carts are essential in industries where heavy and bulky materials’ safe and efficient movement is critical. Our engineers design them to be stable, easy to move, and protect materials and operators during transportation.
Enhanced Safety and Operational Efficiency
- Robust Design for Maximum Safety: Our carts are designed with a focus on safety. They feature a stable and secure construction to safely transport heavy materials, reducing the risk of accidents and material damage.
- Ergonomic Features for Operator Comfort: Understanding the importance of operator safety and comfort, our carts include ergonomic handles and easy maneuverability, which help reduce workplace fatigue and injuries.
- Adaptable to Various Industrial Environments: The versatile carts can be used effectively across different industrial settings, from smooth indoor floors to more rugged outdoor terrains.
Common Applications of Coil Carts
Coil carts are crucial in numerous industrial sectors, where they fulfill a variety of roles. They are often configured as fifth wheel steering and are commonly used in the following industry:
- Metalworking Industry: In this sector, steel coil carts are essential for moving heavy steel rolls, which are integral to various manufacturing processes.
- Paper and Printing Industry: Here, coil carts are used to transport large paper rolls, vital in printing and packaging operations.
- Manufacturing and Warehousing: They play a key role in the movement of cylindrical materials, aiding in the efficient handling of goods in manufacturing plants and warehouses.
- Construction and Infrastructure: Coil carts are also employed in construction, particularly for transporting construction materials like metal rods and pipes.
- Automotive Sector: In automotive manufacturing, these carts are used for handling parts and materials, including sheet metal rolls used in bodywork fabrication.
These carts’ adaptability and robust design make them indispensable tools for improving operational efficiency and safety across these diverse industries.
Manual or Tugger Operation
Coil carts are designed for both manual and electric tugger operations. You can move them manually using ergonomics handles, which helps position them accurately in small areas. Tugger carts can pull coil carts in large buildings for easier moving, improving efficiency and reducing manual work.
Custom Coil Cart Solution for Paper Mill Wrap Line Project
Tailored Design for Industrial Needs
We designed a custom coil cart solution for a paper mill, aiming to efficiently position large rolls of wrapping paper. The carts were specifically crafted to support rolls of various sizes and weights.
Key Features of the Custom Solution
- Support for a Range of Roll Sizes: The carts were built to accommodate rolls ranging from 30” to over 100” in length, with weights up to approximately 6500 lbs.
- Integration with Existing Rigging Gear: Channels and openings were included in the cart design to seamlessly integrate with Harrington Hoists rigging gear.
- Versatile Lifting Adaptability: The design allows for the use of different sling types, depending on the roll size, ensuring safe and efficient handling.
- Manual Mobility and Durable Construction: Equipped with handles for manual maneuvering and coated with epoxy paint, the carts were tailored for indoor use on smooth concrete floors.
Our advanced cart solutions for coil handling are tailored to meet the specific requirements of modern industries. Whether it’s a custom solution for a unique application or standard models for everyday use, our carts offer unmatched efficiency, adaptability, and safety, revolutionizing the way industries handle and transport materials.
