Steel coils are often placed in a horizontal position to prevent deformation or damage to the coils. When stored vertically, the weight of the coils can cause them to deform or become misshapen, which can lead to issues during processing or transportation. Placing them horizontally helps distribute the weight evenly and reduces the risk of damage.

Challenges of horizontal steel coil lifting

The challenge of horizontal steel coil handling cranes is to safely and efficiently handle large and heavy steel coils, while also preventing damage to the coils and ensuring the safety of personnel operating the cranes. Some of the specific challenges of horizontal steel coil handling cranes include:

• Coil weight and size: Steel coils can be extremely heavy and large in size, which requires cranes with high weight capacities and adequate reach to safely lift and transport the coils.
• Coil shape: Steel coils can have irregular shapes or damaged edges, which requires specialized lifting devices to securely grip the coils and prevent damage during handling.
• High temperatures: In some cases, steel coils may be hot or at elevated temperatures, which requires specialized lifting devices that can withstand exposure to high temperatures.
• Limited space: In some production facilities or transportation settings, there may be limited space for maneuvering the crane, which requires specialized cranes with compact designs that can operate in tight spaces.
• Safety: The safety of personnel operating the crane and those working in the vicinity of the crane is of utmost importance. Proper training, adherence to safety protocols and regulations, and regular maintenance of the crane are essential to ensure safe operation.

Overall, the challenge of horizontal steel coil handling cranes is to safely and efficiently handle large and heavy steel coils while also preventing damage to the coils and ensuring the safety of personnel operating the cranes.
