This free-ranging, custom-built
coil mounter is designed to move easily throughout coil processing plants. Like West Bend Equipment’s rail-mounted models, these units are designed to handle a wide range of sizes and weights.
Available with 12- or 24-volt DC motors, these steerable, walk-along coil mounter units are ideal for handling steel and wire coils as well as rolled products like paper and plastic.
Standard features of these coil mounter units include batteries and built-in chargers.
Many options are available on West Bend coil mounters including non-marring surfaces to minimize damage to special materials.
These multi-function machines combine the benefits of fork trucks,
upenders and
coil cars to maximize productivity. They are designed to transport, tip 90 degrees, and mount palletized or unpalletized coils, whether single or stacked.
Coils in the eye to the sky position are loaded onto this unit and moved to the processing area. The coil is then tipped 90 degrees to the eye horizontal position. The coil is raised to align the eye with the centerline of the mandrel and moved forward. Slit or full coils are removed by reversing this procedure.
