FAQ

A cradle for coils is a practical solution for handling coil material in a stable and efficient way in sheet metal production. The FORSTNER Cradle 2,200 lbs is designed to make coil handling easier, especially in production environments where the material needs to be moved close to Cut to Length lines, decoilers, or other sheet metal processing machines. The cradle can be moved with a pallet jack, creating a flexible material flow in the shop.

FORSTNER Cradle is designed for a coil width of 49″ and a coil weight of up to 2,200 lbs. This makes it a compact and stable solution for companies that need to handle coil material safely and efficiently in daily production.

FORSTNER Cradle is equipped with four galvanized rollers that make coil handling smooth and practical. It also has two support rollers on the sides, which provide extra stability when handling sheet metal material. Together, these features make the cradle easy to use in an efficient production flow where coil material needs to be handled in a controlled way close to the machine.

A cradle is useful together with Cut to Length lines because it makes coil material more accessible and easier to handle before processing. When the coil can be placed in a stable position and moved with a pallet jack, it becomes easier to organize the material flow around production. For companies working with Cut to Length lines, coil handling, and sheet metal processing, a cradle can support better organization, reduce unnecessary material movement, and create a more efficient workflow.

The main advantages of FORSTNER Cradle are that it is smooth, stable, and space-saving. It can be moved easily with a pallet jack, the galvanized rollers make handling simple, and the support rollers on the sides provide extra stability. This makes the cradle a practical choice for companies looking for a compact solution for coil handling and efficient material handling in the sheet metal shop.
