FAQs
Q: Can this machine handle non-metal coils?
A: While designed for metal coils like steel and aluminum, it may handle non-metal coils if within the weight limit. Consult the manufacturer for specific materials.
Q: What safety features are included?
A: This machine includes emergency stop buttons, overload protection, and secure clamps to ensure safe operations.
Q: Is the machine compatible with 208V power supply?
A: The coil car is optimized for 240V, three-phase, 60Hz power. For compatibility with other voltages, a transformer or voltage converter might be necessary.
Q: How does the tipping function work?
A: The tipping mechanism uses a hydraulic system to tilt the coil safely for loading or unloading. The angle is adjustable based on operational needs.
Q: Is operator training required?
A: Yes, basic training is recommended to familiarize operators with controls, safety protocols, and maintenance practices.
This Heavy-Duty Coil Car is an invaluable tool for facilities in the U.S. needing efficient coil handling solutions. With its robust build, precision operation, and adherence to U.S. industrial power standards, it ensures enhanced productivity and safety in coil management processes.
