COIL HANDLING
Forklift coil rams & coil mandrels
Forklift coil rams, coil mandrels and roll prongs with pin-type, hook-type or fork-mounted interfaces.

Forklift coil rams & coil mandrels
A coil ram, also called a coil mandrel, roll prong or coil boom, enters the coil eye to support the load. The ram diameter, useful length and mounting arrangement must suit both the coil and the truck. STARKON offers pin-type and hook-type carriage configurations, with fork-mounted versions available on request. Different interfaces provide a starting point for a dedicated truck attachment or an attachment used with existing forks.
- Minimum coil inside diameter and maximum coil width
- Maximum coil mass and required load centre
- Carriage drawing or fork dimensions
- Entry clearance and travel route

Questions before you specify.
Practical details for your equipment enquiry.
Is a coil ram the same as a coil mandrel or roll prong?
These terms commonly describe an attachment that enters the coil eye. The mounting, diameter and working length still need to match the particular coil and forklift.
Which mounting options can I request?
Specify a pin-type carriage, hook-type carriage or fork-mounted version. Send the truck model, interface dimensions, coil weight, inside diameter and width.
