Coil Cars & Coil Transfer Cars
A dropped 90-ton coil can shut a production line down for a full shift, and the load itself rarely survives the fall undamaged. Our coil transfer car technology moves that same coil across the plant floor on a self-contained hydraulic platform built for repeatable, precise handling between process stations. Butech Bliss configures each car’s lift deck and capacity to match the exact coils a facility runs, not a generic weight class.
Lift Deck Configurations Matched to Every Coil Car Application
Every facility handles coils differently, so lift deck configuration is one of the first specs we work through on a coil car order. Deck design accounts for coil diameter, eye orientation, and how the coil loads and unloads at each stop along its route, so the car matches the exact handling pattern a facility runs rather than a generic layout. That fit keeps coils secure and centered throughout the move, cutting the risk of shifting or damage in transit.
Self-Contained Hydraulics That Keep Steel Coil Transfer Cars Running Independently
Because the hydraulics and electrics live on board the car itself, a steel coil transfer car doesn’t need a dedicated power drop, trailing cable, or hose reel at every stop along the line. That independence means the car goes wherever a facility needs it, without rerouting conduit or rebuilding infrastructure to accommodate a new travel path.
Butech Bliss backs every hydraulic system with our HAGC Cylinder Service Program so the same cylinders that keep the car running stay serviceable for the life of the equipment.
Remote Control Operation Built for Flexibility on the Plant Floor
With remote-control capabilities, these cars provide enhanced flexibility and ease of use, making them an essential component for optimizing material-handling processes.
Coil Transfer Car FAQs
What is a coil transfer car?
A coil transfer car is a self-propelled cart that carries a coil on its lift deck and moves it between fixed points on the plant floor, such as a mill stand and a storage rack.
What is the difference between a coil car and a coil transfer car?
The terms are used interchangeably at Butech Bliss and across the industry, both describing a mobile cart built to carry and transport coils.
How are coils loaded onto a coil transfer car?
Coils load onto a coil transfer car’s lift deck using an overhead crane, a coil upender, or a conveyor handoff, depending on how the coil arrives at that point in the line.
What is the difference between a coil car and a coil upender?
A coil upender rotates a coil onto its base or back, while a coil transfer car moves the coil horizontally between stations without changing its orientation.
