Heavy‑Duty Coil Handling for Demanding Pressroom Environments

Press Room Equipment (PRE) Co.'s Cradle Straighteners combine rugged coil cradle construction with precision straightening performance, delivering a compact, reliable solution for feeding heavy-gauge materials into your press line. Engineered for durability and simplified operation, these units are ideal for stampers who need consistent, controlled payout without the complexity of traditional uncoilers.

Key Performance Capabilities

  • Coil Widths: Up to 60"
  • Material Thickness: Up to 0.300"
  • Coil Weight Capacities: 6,000 lb, 10,000 lb, and 20,000 lb standard
  • Integrated Design: Cradle + straightener in one footprint
  • Optimized for Heavy-Gauge Work: Stable, low‑memory coil control

Why Choose PRE Cradle Straighteners?

1. Heavy-Duty Cradle Construction

Designed to support and control large, heavy coils without the risk of telescoping or over‑spinning. The cradle design naturally stabilizes the coil, reducing operator intervention and improving safety.

2. Precision Straightening

Integrated straightener section delivers consistent, repeatable flattening across a wide range of materials. Ideal for thick, high‑strength, or difficult-to-control stock.

3. Compact Footprint

Combining cradle and straightener into one machine minimizes floor space while maximizing line efficiency — perfect for retrofit lines or tight plant layouts.

4. Simplified Operation & Maintenance

Fewer moving parts than traditional uncoilers. Operators appreciate the straightforward threading, predictable payout, and reduced setup time.
