Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can it handle both aluminium and steel coils?
A: Yes. The coil tipper is built for handling various materials, including steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and copper—depending on coil weight and size.

Q: Do I need a powered version or is manual enough?
A: Manual versions are ideal for lower volumes or lighter coils (1–2 tons). Powered versions are better for higher throughput or heavier coils up to 5 tons.

Q: Is it compatible with forklifts or cranes?
A: Yes. Most models can be loaded or unloaded using forklifts or overhead cranes with coil hooks or C-hooks.

Q: What safety features are included?
A: Mechanical locks, non-slip platforms, and optional guards help ensure safe operation. Powered units include emergency stops and limit switches.

Q: Can it be customised to my coil size or factory layout?
A: Absolutely. Units can be customised for width, height, weight capacity, and mounting style to suit your specific needs.
