Stabilize Heavy Coils with Confidence
Troymill builds hardwood coil racks and coil saddles, load-tested from 1,000 to 10,000 lbs, for steel coils, plate, and heavy metal in transit and storage. A coil saddle is a standalone support built for a single coil. A coil rack, also called a cradle, is a heavier-duty frame that holds one or more coils in place during shipping or staging.
When shipping rolled steel, aluminum, or wire, securing the load is essential. Troymill manufactures durable hardwood coil racks and saddles designed to prevent material shifting during transit and withstand significant weight.
Hardwood Coil Saddles
Our coil saddles are precision-cut from oak, maple, or mixed hardwoods to match your coil diameter, weight, width, and shipping method. Whether you need a full flatbed load or just a few dozen units, we can handle the job in-house, cut, kiln-dried, and staged for fast pickup or delivery.
- Common builds: double-beveled hardwood saddles, flat-top wedges, notched blocks
- Load-tested capacity: 1,000–10,000 lbs per saddle
- Angle cuts: customized for coil diameter and support points
- Extras: chamfered edges, forklift grooves, paint striping, or stenciling
Typical uses: steel service centers, pipe and cable shipping, coil warehousing, line staging
Coil Racks for Steel Coil Transport and Storage
Need something more structured than a saddle? Our coil racks offer fixed-brace containment for multi-coil stacking or rail-ready shipments. Built from solid timber and engineered for safety, these units help keep your materials from rolling, shifting, or scraping during transport.
- Designs available: parallel cradle bases, boxed wood frames, multi-saddle units
- Materials: kiln-dried hardwoods with optional pine for non-critical loads
- Customization: made-to-measure per coil size, rack position, or trailer type
- Load options: single or multiple coil cradles per rack
Popular applications: export crating, long-haul trucking, rail transit, onsite storage
