What are coil tippers?

Coil tippers are specialized machines used in the industrial sector to safely and efficiently rotate steel, aluminum, or other material coils from a horizontal to vertical position or vice versa. This equipment is essential for handling heavy coils, which can weigh several tons.

How do coil tippers contribute to safety in industrial workplaces?

Coil tippers enhance workplace safety by minimizing the need for manual handling of heavy coils, reducing the risk of injury to workers. They provide a controlled and stable method for rotating coils, thus preventing accidents associated with moving such large items.

What are the common types of coil tippers used in the United States and Mexico?

The most commonly used coil tippers include upenders, which tilt coils between 90 degrees positions; downenders, which work oppositely; C-hook type lifters that pick up and tip the coil; and V-shaped cradle devices designed for secure positioning during tipping.

Are there any specific regulations or standards governing the use of coil tippers in the USA and Mexico?

In the USA, OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) provides guidelines on machinery safety that would apply to coil tippers. Similarly, Mexico has its own regulations under NOM (Norma Oficial Mexicana), ensuring equipment like coil tippers meet safety standards. Both countries emphasize proper maintenance, operation training, and safety procedures.

What considerations must be taken into account when selecting a coil tipper for an engineering project in these regions?

When selecting a coil tipper in the US or Mexico, consider factors such as load capacity matching your needs; compatibility with existing workspace dimensions and layout; ease of operation; reliability and durability of construction; compliance with local safety regulations; availability of after-sales support and parts within these regions; as well as energy efficiency if electric-powered units are being considered.

March 23, 2023

Today marks the conclusion of ProMat 2023, four days of comprehensive problem solving and networking to provide solutions to the complex manufacturing and supply chain challenges faced by our industry. It was great to see everyone, in person for the first live ProMat event since 2019!

You have touched the future of supply chains in over 150 educational conference sessions, including four keynote sessions. You have experienced first-hand the solutions demonstrated on the ProMat show floor by over 1,000 exhibiting companies.

Now the real work begins. Applying the newly discovered solutions to your business will help you increase both productivity and safety and ultimately help you to exceed your customers’ expectations. Even though ProMat closes today, it continues online at promatshow.com as an on-going education and sourcing resource.

MHI will sponsor the next world-class trade event in MODEX 2024. MODEX will be held March 11-14, 2024, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta

More information and free online registration for MODEX can be found at modexshow.com.

MHI has been privileged to be your host during ProMat and would like to serve as a year-round resource as you face the challenges and opportunities of a more complex and ever-changing commercial world. We can be reached by phone at 704-676-1190 or by visiting us online at mhi.org.

We hope you found your visit to ProMat both enjoyable and productive, and we look forward to seeing you in March 2024 in Atlanta for MODEX. Additionally, we hope you will also make plans to attend the Warehousing Education and Research Council (WERC) Conference from June 4-7 in Orlando, FL. You can learn more about these important events at modexshow.com and werc.org/2023.

Thank you for attending!
