Coil Cradles & Cradle Straighteners

ROWE ^© started in the coil handling business in 1950 with its very first "Easy Load" coil cradle, the "800 J" Series. Today, we still offer our coil cradles in a variety of coil capacities.

Since coil cradles are not ideal in all applications, especially when processing surface-critical or thin gauge materials, please refer to the following reference chart to determine whether a coil cradle is right for your specific application.

ROWE^© Cradle — Straightener combination

Uncoiling and straightening operations are combined in an integrally mounted unit with syncronized payout. A variable speed drive powers the cradle and straightening rolls creating a plant floor saving unit. All rolls are hardened, ground and set in anti-friction bearings.
