COIL RACKING

COIL RACKING

Coil Racking is a system designed to store cylindrical products in an organised manner. Drums are typically located on steel spindles and can be decoiled while on the rack. Every Coil Racking project is based on individual structural calculations to ensure that the system is the most cost-effective storage solution for that particular application.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS:

• Electrical cable drums
• Steel coils
• Carpets
• Packaging foil or paper rolls

FEATURES & BENEFITS:

• Spindles to carry up to 3000kg per location
• Standard heights of 2-5m
• Bay sizes designed specifically to suit products to be stored
• A flexible system adjustable on a 150mm pitch to suit changing product dimensions
• Options of single or double sided racking
• In some instances, top ties will be required due to rack height or coil dimensions
• Standard paint finish is Black and Orange; other colours or Galvanised finish are also available

DESIGN:

• All Wickens Coil Racks comply with current British and CE Marking standards
• Minimum safety factor of 2.5 based on ultimate tensile strength
• Maximum allowable weld stress of 115N/mm2, with all welding coded to BS4872

COIL RACKING ENQUIRIES:

Due to the nature of the product, we would recommend providing the following information to us to so we can ensure that the rack is suitable for the application:

•  No. of Coils to be stored
• Coil dimensions (see the coil image on the right)
• Coil weight (kg)
• Available floorspace
• Maximum lift height of the forklift truck
• Available vertical clearance (ceiling or building beam height)
• Any other special requirements

Here is an example of how the bay centres would be calculated:

ENCLOSED RACKING SYSTEMS

Like other Wickens racking systems, Coil Racks can be fitted with roof canopies and rainwater goods to minimise product damage when exposed to the elements. Alternatively, a fully enclosed racking system with a roof canopy, side cladding and optional doors or curtains can be supplied for complete protection and additional stock security.
