When you first get into the business of hauling steel coils or, “Haulin’ Coil”, it is important that you have the tools of the trade to get the job done. With the proper tools and equipment you will be ready to make money, and that’s the name of the game isn’t it?
Listed below are the necessary tools and equipment conveniently available at the Verduyn Tarps closest to you.
For a strong foundation, let’s start from the deck up:
Coil Bunks:
At Verduyn we carry multiple different options of Coil bunks.
Available in both light and heavy duty are our most popular 3” Coil Bunks. These Coil bunks do not have a rating with the choice of light or heavy duty left to the driver. Both of these options work with beveled wood.
As a third option, our Canadian locations carry a 3” beveled bunk. This is a popular option for those who choose to carry square 4”x 4” wood.
Wood:
Next up is the wood, hard wood that is.
What type of wood you choose is dependent on what type of Coil Bunks you carry. If you choose to carry the light duty or heavy duty 3” bunks, we have a variety of beveled wood for you on both sides of the border:
Available in Canada:
- 4”x 4” x 4’
- 4” x 4” x 6’
- 4” x 4” x 8’
Available in USA:
- 4” x 4” x 6’
- 4” x 6’ x 6’
- 6” x 6” x 6’
If you use the beveled bunks our Canadian facilities carry 8’ square lumber as well.

Cargo Restraint Mat:
To comply with the NACSS (North American Cargo Securement Standard) all metal coils need a Load grip of 0.8 COF (Coefficient of Friction) or higher.
At Verduyn both the light duty and Heavy duty friction mats have a COF rating of .95 or higher. This rating is written right there on the mat to keep the MTO off your back.
Think this isn’t important?
It has been proven that any impact over 2.5 MPH can cause a load to shift. Therefore, follow the law and the old saying, “Better safe than sorry.”
Cuffs:
Lastly, the coil cuff.
Now that the coil is sitting between the lumber it is time to secure the load. When securing the load it is important not to damage the steel.
Here at Verduyn we have a two coil cuffs to choose from.
First is the plastic cuff. Weighing in at only 2.5 lbs. this a favorite among drivers looking to shave a few pounds at the scale.
Also available is the Steel cuff that is backed with rubber. This is a heavier option, but will last much longer.
