What is coil handling?
Coil handling refers to the lifting, turning, transporting and positioning of coils, coils or reels in a safe and efficient manner. Because coils are often heavy and awkward in shape, they cannot simply be moved with a standard forklift.
Therefore, special coil handling tools and machines have been developed, such as coil lifters, clamps, fork adjustments and stackers. These ensure that coils stable, damage-free and ergonomically sound can be moved.
