C-Hooks and Coil Transfer Carts

The handling of metal, paper, or plastic coils has always been a major problem in steel mills, warehouses, and manufacturing plants. These large coils are heavy and bulky, and manual handling is not only inefficient but also poses serious safety hazards, as the slightest mishap may result in damage to the coils or injury to personnel.

The combination of C-hook and coil transfer cart provides a perfect solution to these problems. The former is responsible for precise and safe lifting, while the latter focuses on efficient and stable transportation. Together, they form a complete coil handling system, which significantly improves the material handling efficiency in industrial scenarios.

What are Coil Transfer Carts?

Coil transfer cart, also known as coil transfer trolley, is a specialized piece of equipment used to transport large coils in industrial scenarios. It is usually equipped with a set of rollers or wheels that allow it to be moved easily across factory floors or other surfaces.

Some coil transfer carts are also equipped with special devices such as adjustable arms or clamps to ensure that the coils are stable during transportation. Capable of handling coils of various sizes and weights, and customized to meet the needs of specific applications, this equipment is used in a wide range of applications such as manufacturing, construction, and mining.

Types of Coil Transfer Carts

• Coil Transfer Trolley on Rail

Coil transfer trolley on rail is suitable for companies that need to transport loads on a specific plane. Their rail system ensures smooth and safe material transportation, offering significant advantages in accident prevention and material handling efficiency.

At the same time, this type of transfer cart is easy to maintain, cost-effective, and particularly suitable for companies that need to transport large and heavy loads in a straight line, ensuring accurate and safe transportation of heavy loads.

• Trackless Transfer Cart for Coil

If a company’s transportation needs do not rely on a specific route or rail system, trackless coil transfer vehicle would be a more appropriate choice. It can move on variable routes, providing maximum flexibility for material handling operations.

Ideal for businesses that need to easily adapt to a variety of changes in the workspace, trackless transfer cart can also be customized to meet a company’s specific needs.

• Autonomous (AGV) Coil Transfer Vehicles

Autonomous coil transfer carts are an excellent choice for companies with advanced technology needs. With the ability to navigate on their own without human intervention, these transfer carts help companies increase automation and reduce labor costs.

In large production facilities or warehouse areas, autonomous transfer trolleys can make a big difference by optimizing material handling operations.

Features Of Coil Transport Cart

1. Coil transfer trolley is an all-electric design that is easy to operate, efficient, and labor-saving. It can be designed to transport multiple coils depending on the application and is equipped with replaceable wear pads to protect coil surfaces.
2. Its user-friendly interface system allows for easy operator control during load movement, unlimited travel, and long service life. Transfer cart can also be easily repositioned when necessary, and the polyurethane-covered wheels are ideal for running on industrial concrete floors.
3. A soft-start feature ensures stable and reliable operation, and two transport carts can be connected in series to transport larger capacity loads.

What are C-Hooks?

The C-Hook is a tool designed for handling large, heavy coils, so named because it resembles the letter “C”. It is made of high-strength materials to withstand large loads while minimizing damage to the coils being lifted.

Its core design feature is the counterweight self-balancing structure, which ensures stability and safety during lifting. The operator can easily position the coil manually by using the side handles for precise positioning. In addition, the C-hook can be equipped with optional features such as padding, swivel hooks, or customized sizes, depending on the customer’s needs, to further enhance its suitability.

The C-hook can lift and transport one coil at a time with minimal loss of height. The bending area and coating design prevent damage to the coil, making it ideal for handling coils in steel mills, metal processing plants, and other locations.

C–Hook Technical Features

1. C-hook adopts a counterweight self-balancing structure, which can maintain stability and avoid tilting during lifting, greatly enhancing operational safety and smooth operation regardless of no-load or load-bearing condition.
2. C-hook can be easily operated manually by the side handle, allowing precise control of lifting, moving, and positioning of the coil to meet the high precision requirements of material handling in industrial production.
3. The curved area and coating design of C-hook prevent damage to the coil during lifting, and additional protective measures such as padding can be added on request, which is important for protecting fragile coils.
4. C-hook can lift one coil at a time, ensuring efficient operation with little loss of height and saving vertical space, making it suitable for industrial locations where space is limited.

C-Hooks and Coil Lifters Coordinated Handling

Coil transfer cart and C-Hook complement each other in their work, forming a seamless coil handling process.

First, C-hook safely lifts the horizontally positioned coil through the inner diameter of the coil. Its stable structure and special design ensure that the coil is not damaged during the lifting process.

The lifted coils are then placed onto a coil transfer trolley, which secures the coils by means of its own clamps or rollers.

Next, transfer cart for coil transports the coils smoothly from one location to another, e.g., on the production line or in the storage area.

Finally, C-hooks come into play again, lifting the coils from transfer cart for coil and placing them precisely at the target location. This synergistic approach significantly improves the efficiency and safety of coil handling, reduces manual intervention, and lowers the risk of accidents.

C-hooks and coil transfer carts are the ideal tools for solving coil handling challenges. Whether it’s lifting or transporting, they play an important role in providing an efficient, safe, and reliable solution to coil handling in industrial production. If you’re looking to improve your coil handling efficiency, consider choosing C-Hook and coil transfer vehicle that’s right for your needs.
