Barges Bring the coil down river. <br /> <br />I hauled Aluminum coils to Anhauser Busch in Williamsburg Va for cans. I know it is not steel coil, but these were more prone to roll over. <br /> <br />I also used a reefer tractor trailer to haul Brass in coil form to Remington Arms in Arkansas for conversion to Cartidge cases. They had to be 60 degrees and 40% humidity no matter the weather outside. <br /> <br />Appliances consume coils by the mile. <br /> <br />A favorite industry that used steel coil were pipe makers. They would take a big coil of steel and wind it while welding in a spiral. Once finished there was a 3 foot 40 foot pipe ready to go on the truck. <br /> <br />I also think that steel coil was used to create cables and wires of metal... I will have to look that one up. <br /> <br />Lee
