Simple One-Person Loading

First, our system uses a smart, one-piece tubular mandrel. This design is superior because it removes the need for heavy, dangerous shafts and complex end flanges. Because the mandrel supports the coil from the inside across its full width, it stops the metal core from bending or sagging during use. Furthermore, the outer flange weighs only 60 pounds. Therefore, a single worker can slide it into place without any extra help or physical strain. In addition, the open-wide saddle design stabilizes the load instantly once it is in place.

Smooth Feeding and Better Control

Next, these cradles utilize strong, hydraulically driven neoprene rollers. These rollers ensure the metal feeds into your line quietly and smoothly, which reduces shop noise significantly. Since each station works independently, you can switch between different metal types or gauges with a simple turn of a switch. As a result, your production line stays moving without long pauses or mechanical hiccups. Moreover, this independence allows you to keep multiple materials ready for immediate use.

Built for Heavy Industrial Use

Additionally, the open-side or “flush-side” design gives forklifts plenty of room to maneuver. This means your team can move coils in and out without the risk of hitting the machine frame. You can also use the air-powered hold-down arm to help feed the metal strip or rewind it when a job is done. Similarly, the rugged frame is built to handle years of heavy-duty shop use without needing constant repairs.
