Correct way to load steel coils

The correct way to load steel coils involves multiple steps and safety measures to ensure the stability and safety of the steel coils during transportation. Here are some key points and best practices:
Lay wooden boards or non-slip grass mats on the bottom: Lay a layer of wooden boards or non-slip grass mats on the bottom of the cargo compartment to increase the friction between the steel coil and the bottom of the cargo compartment and reduce the possibility of the steel coil sliding.
Use sleepers to fix: In addition to using non-slip grass mats, you can also choose sleepers or steel frames to fix the steel coils, and ensure that any two steel coils are tightly plugged with enough pads to play a fixing role.
Bundling: After loading, be sure to tighten the wire rope with a hand-cranked hoist. Whether it is the bundling of a single steel coil or the bundling of the steel coil and the carriage, it must be done well. This is the main way to prevent the steel coil from moving.
Check more along the way: During transportation, the fixation of the steel coil should be checked frequently to ensure safety during driving.
Use special fixing devices: such as trailers that professionally fix and pull steel coils, commonly known as wave plates and special steel supports. These devices can effectively fix the steel coils and prevent them from moving during transportation.
Middle floor design: The middle floor of the truck is designed to be detachable. After opening, it can form an inward concave style, which just fixes the steel coil in it to prevent the steel coil from moving during driving. When there is no steel coil being pulled, the floor can be closed, and the general cargo transportation task can be taken into consideration at ordinary times.
The above measures can significantly improve the safety of steel coil transportation and reduce the risk of accidents during transportation.
