20,000 LBS Coil Car Kansas, USA

A 20,000 LBS Coil Car Machine is an essential component in roll forming and metal processing industries for handling and loading large metal coils efficiently. These machines are designed to streamline coil transportation, reduce manual handling, and ensure precise alignment with uncoilers or roll forming machines. Built to handle coils weighing up to 20,000 pounds, they enhance safety, productivity, and accuracy in metalworking facilities.

Machine Description

The 20,000 LBS Coil Car Machine is a robust and heavy-duty equipment that allows for the efficient transportation of metal coils. The machine is hydraulically or electrically powered and features advanced controls for seamless operation. It includes a sturdy frame with reinforced structural steel to handle heavy loads and ensure long-term durability.

The coil car typically operates on rails or wheels, allowing it to move laterally between coil storage areas and the uncoiler or roll forming machine. The hydraulic lifting mechanism elevates the coil to the required height for precise alignment, reducing downtime and labor efforts. Safety features, such as limit switches and emergency stop functions, ensure secure operations.
