UK Coil Cars can design, manufacture and install any size, weight, width and height coilcar you need. In metric or imperial. Whether it is set on steel tracks, conventional tyres or needs to be used into the field for onsite deployment.

We can also design and manufacture coil lift assist equipment which can aid the lifting of the coils to the required height to allow the coilcar to "take control" of the coil or even lift equipment which may be required to be raised or lowered dependant upon the weight or size of the coil spool.

Almost every coil lift application has different requirements. The following are just 2 examples of how we may be able to assist your business;

A compact heavy duty powered mobile scissor lift coil car.

The specification called for loading by over-head crane, 750mm of lift travel, a special platform top incorporating soft faced coil location rollers, 25m of linear traverse with no trailing cables & the unit to be self contained and electrically interfaced to the system.

The 15,000kg capacity lift was mounted on a robust base frame, provided with four flanged rail wheels, two free and two motor driven, reversible and braked, via a reduction gear box, electrical controls, limit switches positional interlocks etc, were incorporated within the chassis and power fed from bus-bars sited in a continuous under floor duct.

The scissor mechanism was jig bored and welded, fitted with glacier DU precision bearings, special bottom stops to accept impact crane loading, zinc plated machined components and all parts easily replaced.

Equi-opposed four ram design, was utilised for smooth operation.

The company currently erected wooden trestles to match the height of the press beds and with the help of a fork truck manoeuvred the large die sets onto the trestles and the tool was removed by traversing shop crane.

This practice was considered slow and dangerous in the light of safety legislation and UK Coil Cars Engineers were asked to visit site and recommend an improved tool handling system.

After detailed discussions on site with all concerned, it was agreed that a Heavy Duty Mobile Scissor Lift would be the best solution.

The lift was specially designed and engineered to bolt to the face of the press bed when raised to the correct load transfer height, with the course and fine adjustment props clearly seen in the photograph set to support the lift platform in the correct position.

By agreement steel wheels were recessed into the tool die set bolster and matching recessed wheel grooves machined into the lift platform to ensure the safe transfer of the die sets to the mobile press loader.

Down time reduced by 60% and the die sets moved direct to the tool room.
