What is needed to safely transport metal coils?

  • I need to transport large, heavy coils of sheet metal. As far as I know, coils are dangerous because they can have a lot of inertia when braking or making a sharp maneuver and break through the side or tip over. What is needed to safely transport metal coils?

  • The coil often weighs 10–30+ tons and has a round shape, so it cannot be simply placed on a regular flatbed trailer: during braking or turning it can roll, shift the load or tip over. I would advise you to choose coil racks flatbed trailer here at Flatbed Securement & Trucking Equipment Store https://flatbedequipment.com/products/heavy-duty-coil-racks . They fix the coil in the correct position . It also allows for faster loading/unloading of coils with a crane or magnetic lift.
