Coil Floor Storage

Kastalon Coil Protection

At Kastalon, we specialize in finding effective solutions that will improve yield, quality and production efficiencies, literally from the ground up.

A perfect example is Kastalon’s line of floor protection for any form of coiled metal. By choosing to store your coils on a wear resistant Kastalon floor pad or Coil Saddle^®, you are effectively protecting the outer wrap and inner wraps, in some cases, from all forms of damage.

If you are concerned with any or all of these key factors, these products are meant for you:

• Minimize floor space usage
• Make moving of coils easier and faster
• Protect surfaces, finishes, and mechanical properties of materials
• Need for efficient pre-staging of coils
• Maximize flexibility for a range of jobs
• Maintain better housekeeping for 5-S programs

To choose the proper storage device, you should first consider how coils are transported from the storage area and how they will be stored ahead of the process line.

Floor Pads

In areas that are permanently designated for coil storage; a floor pad that can be bolted into place may be the best solution.

If oil needs to be collected, Kastalon Floor Pads that contain oil reservoirs would be more suitable.

Coil-Saddles^®

For staging areas or storage of very large coils, the Coil-Saddle^® is the perfect solution.

The patented deep cradle fits virtually any size coil and takes up nominal floor space. The unique design offers the versatility of using it as a movable fixture in staging areas or affixed permanently to the storage area floor. Made of bright safety yellow polyurethane and reinforced steel frames, the Coil-Saddle^® surprisingly only weighs 45# and can be easily moved out of the way when not in use. This avoids tripping hazards, yet can handle up to a 72” diameter coil.

Another consideration is the fact that a very common cost cutting initiative in our industry has been to reduce packaging or wrapping of coils that are moved short distances throughout the supply chain. Not only does this relieve the production costs but processing time is reduced. The downside is that now the outer wrap is exposed and more easily scratched or dented, therefore, floor protection becomes even more important.
