Everything You Need to Know About Coil Handling Pallet Trucks

In modern industrial facilities and storage areas, the safe, efficient, and damage-free handling of heavy and oval-shaped loads such as coils and rolls, especially in industries such as paper, textile, metal, and packaging, is a vital necessity. To address this specific need, where standard handling equipment is inadequate, İzmir Demir Lift offers you a specialized solution: a Coil Handling Pallet (Roll Handling Pallet). These special-purpose vehicles are not just equipment; they are indispensable logistics partners that accelerate your production flow and maximize your work safety.

The Difference and Importance of the Coil Handling Pallet

As the name suggests, a coil handling pallet truck is specifically designed to eliminate the risk of coils tipping and rolling. Unlike conventional pallet trucks, these pallet trucks firmly grasp the load at its center thanks to their V-shaped or specially curved fork arms.

Manufactured with İzmir Demir Lift quality, these pallet trucks offer high carrying capacity and maximum maneuverability for the operator, even in narrow aisles and confined spaces. Despite manual operation, they combine high efficiency and safety with accurate engineering and design.

Effortless Lifting with Hydraulic Power

The coil pallet truck's ability to easily lift heavy loads comes primarily from its robust hydraulic system. This system leverages the principle of incompressibility of liquid, multiplying the operator's manual force into a powerful lifting force. This allows even tons of coils to be lifted effortlessly from the ground and raised to the desired height, making transport and stacking extremely convenient.

Key Features of Coil Pallet Trucks

• Special Polyurethane Wheels: We use wheels that do not damage industrial floors, operate quietly, and safely support high carrying capacity. These wheels provide ease of maneuverability and a stable transport experience.
• Leak-Proof and Reliable Pump Design: Our special pump design extends the life of the hydraulic system, prevents hydraulic fluid leakage, and ensures smooth lifting/lowering performance with every use.
• Ergonomic Steering System: Equipped with an ergonomic steering system that enhances operator comfort and ease of steering in tight spaces.

Steps for Correct and Safe Use of a Coil Pallet Truck

• Releasing the Safety Chain: Before starting use, ensure the load restraint chain is extended.
• Positioning: Slowly position the pallet truck to fully enclose and center the coil.
• Reattaching the Safety Chain: Immediately after the coil is placed on the forks, reattach the safety chain to eliminate the risk of the load slipping or tipping during transport. This step is vital for occupational safety.
• Removing the Load: Manually operate the hydraulic lever to completely lift the coil from the ground.
• Transporting and Lowering: Safely transport the load to the desired location and lower it slowly and controlledly to the ground using the fork lowering lever.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Pallet Truck

• Carrying Capacity and Dimensions: The pallet truck's capacity should be suitable for the heaviest load you will be carrying, while the fork length should perfectly match the dimensions of your coils, ensuring stability.
• Quality and Durability: At İzmir Demir Lift, we prioritize manufacturing our products from high-quality, long-lasting materials resistant to harsh industrial conditions.
• Seller and Service Support: Standing behind your investment is essential for us. A reliable warranty and uninterrupted after-sales technical service support are just as crucial to your operational continuity as product quality.
