COIL LIFTERS
Product Description

Drafto Coil Lifters are designed in parallelogram, rack and pinion or rotating rack and pinion specifications.  They are heavy-duty, custom-engineered lifting devices designed for the safe handling of steel coils in demanding mill and service center environments. Each lifter is engineered to withstand impact loading, vibration, and continuous duty cycles while maintaining precise load control and long-term structural integrity.


Solutions

Drafto Coil Lifters address key operational issues, including coil edge damage, unsafe manual handling, inconsistent positioning, and unplanned downtime. By manufacturing each unit to precise mill specifications, Drafto reduces scrap, enhances safety compliance, and boosts throughput in both manual and automated crane systems.
