Coil trailer (coil well)
Practical reference values
- length
- ~13.6 m
- width
- ~2.48 m
- payload
- 23 t
The coil trailer has a well in the floor where steel or aluminium coils sit, secured so they cannot roll. With the well covered, it can also carry general cargo. The position and weight of the coils are agreed with the carrier.
Practical reference values. We confirm the exact dimensions in the quote. Honexpres organises transport with this vehicle, on request.

Can coils travel on an ordinary curtainsider?
Only with suitable securing equipment and if the carrier confirms. For heavy coils, the coil trailer is the safe solution.
