A removable, stackable steel transport cradle system that converts a standard flat deck into a coil-carrying arrangement — deep fabricated V-sections, substantial side plates, fork pockets and integrated restraint hardware, engineered and fabricated to EN1090 EX2 by Marmion Engineering in Co. Louth.
Our commitment to safety begins with compliance. Each Coil Carrier is EN 12195 load-restraint certified, CE/UKCA marked, and built for trusted performance in steel transport.
Up to 25% of truck accidents are linked to unsecured loads . Our engineered carrier virtually eliminates coil load shift risk.
Whether in the factory, on the trailer, or at the port, the Coil Carrier makes handling faster, safer, and reusable. Designed to fit standard trailers, it cuts waste, improves compliance, and protects every load.
One Coil Carrier replaces hundreds of timber cradles per year, reducing waste and cutting CO₂ emissions – while lowering long-term transport costs.
✅ EN 12195 Compliant
✅ CE/UKCA Certified
✅ Up to 25 tonnes WLL
✅ Recommended by RSA/HSE Codes
Prevent accidents, protect lives

The carrier receives the full coil load through its V-sections and side plates, and transfers it safely into the trailer deck and chassis — which carries it to the axles. A 25-tonne coil is roughly 245 kN of static weight before dynamic transport loads, restraint forces and safety factors are considered. That’s why this is a fabricated structure, not a bent-plate cradle.
Redrawn to drawing-sheet standard from Eddie’s workshop sketch and product photographs — front face profile and side elevation, all dimensions in millimetres. The W-profile carries the coil on its protected seat faces — the only surfaces the coil touches, so coil edges and painted faces stay unmarked. Fork openings give access from both sides, loaded or empty; the end blocks locate the next unit when stacked.

SIDE ELEVATION
3253 mm overall dimension
Key dimensions: 3,253 mm overall length · 415 mm body height · 720 mm central span with 325 mm crown flat · 390 mm coil-bearing flats at 205 mm bearing level · 190 mm fork openings · 150 mm end blocks. Working-drawing values, redrawn from the supplied sketch and product photographs — final certified fabrication dimensions confirmed with your order documentation.
Profiled to seat coils from Ø 800 to Ø 2,000 mm with a low centre of gravity and full-width contact — no point loading on the coil face.
Heavy side plates carry the lateral loads and frame the restraint hardware — the structure does the work, not the straps alone.
Positioned for safe forklift handling of the carrier, loaded or empty — no chains, no improvised lifting.
Integrated locating and tie-down points designed around EN 12195 load-restraint practice, so lashing is repeatable, not reinvented per load.
Empty units stack for the return leg and yard storage — a full set travels back as one footprint instead of a deck of loose cradles.
Fabricated in heavy-duty steel with protective coating, built for years of mill, port and trailer duty — one carrier replaces hundreds of single-use timber cradles.
This is a portable coil carrier in the truest sense: forklift it onto any flat or curtainside deck in minutes, and lift it back off the moment the coil work is done. No welding, no deck modification, no trailer married to coil duty for life.
That mobility changes the economics. The same carrier moves between trailers, depots and even hauliers as the work demands — and when a unit isn’t needed, it stacks in the corner of the yard instead of parking a six-figure asset against the fence.
Coil work is lumpy — heavy some weeks, gone the next. Dedicated coil trailers force you to size the fleet for the peak. A set of removable carriers lets you size for the average: win a coil contract on Monday, equip three ordinary flats by Tuesday, and backload general freight on the return leg once the carriers are stacked. Nothing dedicated, nothing idle.
A coil liner — the purpose-built coil trailer with a coil well in the chassis — is a serious piece of kit, engineered for very heavy concentrated loads. If you run coils every day, both ways, a coil liner earns its keep.
But most operators don’t. For everyone else, the coil liner has three problems: it’s a major capital commitment; it’s a compromised trailer for everything that isn’t a coil; and when coil volumes dip, it sits. The Marmion Coil Carrier is the coil liner alternative — the coil-carrying geometry without the dedicated chassis. You get the deep V-seat, the low centre of gravity and the engineered restraint interface, on the flat trailers you already own, at a fraction of the cost of one dedicated trailer. Run coils when there are coils; run freight when there aren’t.
Forklift the carrier onto any standard flat deck and locate it against the trailer's restraint arrangement.
Crane or forklift the coil into the V — the profile centres it automatically and keeps the centre of gravity low.
Lash coil and carrier using the integrated tie-down points, following the approved load-restraint arrangement.
Deliver, unload, stack the empties, send them home. From mill to port and back — for years.
Up to 25% of truck accidents are linked to unsecured loads — and a shifting steel coil is about the worst version of that problem. The Coil Carrier attacks it structurally: the V-profile centres the coil, the low centre of gravity calms the trailer, and the integrated restraint points make correct EN 12195-style lashing the easy option rather than the careful one. Your drivers stop improvising with timber and hope.
Single-use timber cradles are a recurring cost that ends up in a skip. One Coil Carrier replaces hundreds of them per year, cuts loading time with a repeatable arrangement, protects coil faces from point damage, and comes home stacked four-high for the next run. It pays for itself in dunnage, damage claims and loading minutes.
The system is engineered for coils up to 25 tonnes, subject to carrier specification, trailer configuration, axle loading and the approved load-restraint arrangement. The rated capacity for your configuration is confirmed with engineering documentation at purchase.
Coils from Ø 800 mm to Ø 2,000 mm in diameter. The V-profile centres the coil across that range; tell us your typical coil mix and we'll confirm fit.
Completely. It forklifts on and off any flat deck in minutes — no welding, no deck modification, no dedicated trailer. Move it between trailers, depots or hauliers as the work demands, and stack it away when it's not needed.
No — a coil liner is a dedicated trailer with a coil well built into the chassis. The Marmion Coil Carrier is the coil liner alternative: it gives an ordinary flat trailer the same coil-carrying geometry, removably, at a fraction of the cost — so your trailers stay general-purpose the rest of the week.
Yes — that's the point. The carrier converts a normal flat deck into a coil-carrying arrangement. Positioning and restraint are agreed against your trailer configuration.
They stack — the end feet locate the next unit. Empties nest into a compact footprint for the return leg or yard storage, so the economics work in both directions.
Carriers are fabricated under our EN1090 EX2 certification, with restraint points designed around EN 12195 load-restraint practice. Capacity and load-restraint documentation for your specific configuration are provided and confirmed at purchase.
Yes — we're the fabricator, not a reseller. Dimensions, seat profile, restraint interfaces and coatings can be engineered to your fleet. Talk to us about your coil mix and routes.
