The correct way to install steel coils

The correct way to load steel coils depends on their size, weight and how they are transported or stored.

The correct way to load steel coils depends on their size, weight and how they are transported or stored. Here are a few common loading methods:

Wave rack or adjustable seat rack loading. It is suitable for situations where the ratio of the width to height of the steel plate roll is less than 70%. It is necessary to put a rubber sheet on the bottom and use a fastening device (such as fastening tape, steel wire rope, chain) for binding and fixation.
Wooden frame or carton packaging. Suitable for most types of steel coils, especially lighter weight steel coils. Wooden frame packaging uses wood and nails to fix the steel coils on the wooden frame, while carton packaging uses cartons to fix the steel coils and fill the cartons with protective materials.
Plastic bag packaging. Suitable for steel coils with high requirements for moisture resistance and rust prevention.
Vertical loading. When the ratio of steel coil width to diameter is less than or equal to 0.7, choose vertical placement with the steel coil line perpendicular to the loading plane.
Horizontal transverse loading. When the ratio of the width to diameter of the steel plate coil is greater than 0.7 and the width is smaller than the width of the vehicle, horizontal placement is selected, with the steel coil line parallel to the loading plane and perpendicular to the side of the vehicle.
Horizontal longitudinal loading. When the ratio of steel coil width to diameter is greater than 0.7 and the width is greater than or equal to the vehicle width, horizontal longitudinal placement is selected, with the steel coil line parallel to the loading plane and parallel to the vehicle side.

When packaging, bundling and stacking steel coils, you also need to pay attention to the following points:

Packaging materials should comply with national standards.
The tension of the straps should be appropriate.
Overly high or unstable stacking should be avoided as much as possible.
During long-distance transportation, attention should be paid to whether hanging labels or ribbons are needed.
