Technical Superiority of Polyurethane Engineering
Superior Performance With AN Advanced Material Science Foundation
Our polyurethane coil storage cradles utilize advanced thermoset chemistry specifically formulated for heavy industrial applications. With a precisely controlled 95 Shore A durometer rating, our coil mats deliver optimal load distribution characteristics for coils weighing 7–30 tons while maintaining superior surface protection. This engineered hardness provides the structural integrity needed for multi-ton loads while preventing the surface deformation that damages expensive coated materials.
Chemical resistance properties ensure long-term performance in industrial environments contaminated with oils, hydraulic fluids, and processing chemicals. Our coil saddles resist degradation from petroleum-based products that cause rapid deterioration in rubber alternatives, while preventing the oil absorption that compromises wood systems and creates safety hazards.

Load-Bearing Engineering and Structural Performance
Optimized Load Distribution and Long-Term Stability for Safe Steel Coil Storage
The superior load-bearing capacity of our polyurethane coil storage racks addresses the fundamental engineering challenges of steel coil storage. Unlike rubber alternatives that compress and deform under multi-ton loads, our thermoset coil mats maintain dimensional stability and provide consistent support across the entire coil contact area. This even load distribution prevents the localized stress concentrations that cause coil deformation and edge damage.
Our engineering analysis demonstrates that proper load distribution across coil pads prevents the coil instability issues that occur with inadequate support systems. For coils with height-to-width ratios approaching the critical 2.5:1 threshold specified in industry safety standards, our coil cradles provide the stability margin required for safe storage without additional restraint systems.
The compression set resistance of our coil saddles ensures consistent performance throughout extended service life. Unlike rubber, which develops permanent deformation, our polyurethane retains its shape and functionality for 10–20 years of continuous service.
Comprehensive Product Portfolio for Diverse Applications
Floor Pad Systems for Multi-Coil Storage Operations
Our YEL-996 through YEL-2076 coil mat systems address the complete spectrum of coil storage requirements. The YEL-996 system, with its 16.5-inch V-shaped profile, provides optimal support for smaller diameter coils while maintaining the structural integrity needed for high-volume operations. Custom length capabilities extending to 10 feet accommodate facility-specific row configurations and material flow patterns.
The YEL-2076 represents our most advanced large-coil storage rack, engineered for coils up to 72 inches in diameter with100% oil containment capability. This system eliminates floor contamination and slip hazards while providing the high-visibility organization required for efficient warehouse operations and 5S compliance.
Our molded-in collection channels and reservoir systems address real-world industrial challenges. Integrated directly into the coil cradles, these oil containment features prevent environmental violations, eliminate slip hazards, and reduce facility cleaning requirements while supporting a professional, clean workspace.
Coil Saddle Systems for Flexible Storage Solutions
Our YEL-500 through YEL-550 coil saddles provide the portable and permanent installation flexibility needed in dynamic manufacturing environments. These systems support coils up to 72 inches in diameter while offering the mobility required for changing production layouts and temporary storage demands. The modular design allows rapid reconfiguration to accommodate varying coil sizes and schedules.
Compared to wood alternatives, our polyurethane coil racks offer vastly superior lifecycle performance. Wood absorbs oils, fails at elevated temperatures, and requires frequent replacement. In contrast, our coil storage mats deliver 10–20 years of consistent support—eliminating recurring costs and production disruptions.
Quantified Economic Benefits and Return on Investment
Coil Damage Prevention and Cost Avoidance
Inadequate coil support systems, whether wood or rubber, can lead to substantial damage. Just the outer 5 wraps of a damaged 72-inch diameter coil may waste over 100 feet of material, translating to thousands of dollars in loss. In high-volume operations, inadequate coil pads or coil cradles can lead to over $4 million in corrosion-related annual losses.
Our polyurethane coil storage systems eliminate these risks. Their cushioning characteristics prevent edge and surface damage, and their chemical resistance protects against corrosion caused by oil and moisture.
Maintenance Cost Elimination and Operational Efficiency
Unlike rubber and wood, polyurethane coil saddles require no routine maintenance or frequent replacement. With lifespans of 10–20 years, our systems dramatically reduce labor and material costs associated with inspection, cleanup, and structural failure.
The high-visibility design of our coil mats supports lean manufacturing and reduces handling errors, while the uniform layout of coil racks improves operational flow.
Safety Compliance and Risk Management
OSHA Compliance and Worker Protection
Our coil cradle systems meet OSHA requirements for load stability and workplace safety. Even load distribution prevents tipping hazards, and integrated oil containment in our coil storage racks reduces slip-and-fall risks.
Bright coloration improves hazard visibility and equipment navigation. Permanent, maintenance-free installation further reduces risk by eliminating the need for manual adjustments or frequent replacement.
