Coil Transportation Products
When you’re moving heavy steel coils in rail coil cars, you don’t have room for guesswork. Every load is valuable, and every edge needs protection. That’s why coil divider bars—lined with tough polyurethane facings—play such a critical role. They’re not just bars; they’re the cushion standing between a 30-ton coil and potential damage.
Built For heavy loads
Steel on steel is a recipe for dents, scratches, and costly claims. The polyurethane face changes that. Engineered with a firm durometer, it has just the right mix of stiffness and resilience: rigid enough to hold weight without flattening out, yet elastic enough to absorb the constant jolts and vibrations of rail travel. Even after repeated cycles, the pad springs back, keeping your coils secure.
Durability that outlasts
These liners are designed to live in the real world—gritty, abrasive, and unforgiving. Polyurethane outwears rubber or wood by a wide margin, standing up to sharp coil edges, grit, and constant handling. Instead of chipping, cracking, or gouging, the pads keep their shape and protect load after load. Fewer replacements mean fewer headaches.
weather doesn't win
Railcars see it all: freezing Midwest winters, blazing Southern summers, and everything in between. The polyurethane facing stays flexible in the cold and stable in the heat. No brittle cracks in January, no softening or sagging in July. Just dependable performance that matches the conditions you run in.
bonded to last
Every liner is anchored to a steel or aluminum bar core with a bond that’s stronger than the polyurethane itself. Through careful prep, priming, and molding, the facing becomes one with the bar. That means no peeling, no delamination, and no surprises when your train is in motion.
backed by universal urethane
At Universal Urethane, we’ve built a reputation on solving tough industrial challenges with precision-engineered urethane solutions. Every coil divider liner reflects that same commitment: reliable, consistent, and made to handle the demands of rail service. With decades of experience in polyurethane manufacturing, we provide not just the product, but the peace of mind that comes with working directly with the manufacturer.
built to protect your reputation
Every shipment says something about your business. When coils arrive intact, with clean edges and no handling damage, it reflects the quality of your operation. Polyurethane-lined coil divider bars do more than prevent costly claims—they safeguard the trust you’ve built with your customers. It’s not just protection for steel; it’s protection for your name.
