CakeBoxx Technologies, a container innovator that manufactures stackable intermodal containers, has announced the launch of a new container in its product line designed to transport steel and aluminum coils. The 20″ “CoilBoxx” uses the same “deck and lid” form factor as other CakeBoxx models. The specially designed deck floor of the CoilBoxx features adjustable feet that make it easy to load, secure, transport and store coil loads. This simple yet highly functional design allows rolls to be loaded once at origin and remain in the same container when shipped worldwide to destination without handling or reloading.

Aluminum has an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio and is easy to form. Its natural corrosion resistance, which can be increased with anodizing, is one of the biggest benefits. Aluminum coil is found in a range of applications from housing siding, trim, gutters, and roofing to cans, lids, caps, bottles, and other food packaging, appliances and electronics. Because it is a lightweight and durable material, it is also seen in the automotive industry.
Aluminum coil classification according to different alloy elements
1000 Series
1050 aluminum coil and strip
Features: 99.5% aluminum content, high plasticity, corrosion resistance, good conductivity and thermal conductivity, but low strength, not strengthened by heat treatment, poor machinability, acceptable for contact welding and gas welding. The production process is relatively simple and the price is relatively cheap
| Thickness (mm) | 0.10-6 |
| Width (mm) | 100-2500 |
| Temper | H18 |
1060 aluminum coil and strip
Features: the aluminum content of 1060 aluminum coil is 99.6%. 1060 aluminum coil has good elongation and tensile strength, and high formability.
| Thickness (mm) | 0.10-0.3 |
| Width (mm) | 100-2500 |
| Temper | O, H18, H22, H24 |
1070 aluminum coil and strip
Features: the aluminum content of 1070 aluminum coil is 99.7%. 1070 aluminum coil has the characteristics of high plasticity, corrosion resistance, good conductivity and thermal conductivity. Because of these advantages, 1070 aluminum coil is mostly used to manufacture some structural parts with specific performance, such as electric wire, cable protection net, wire core and aircraft ventilation system parts and decorations.
| Thickness (mm) | 0.10-6 |
| Width (mm) | 100-2500 |
| Temper | O, H18, H22, H24 |
1100 aluminum coil and strip:
Features: the aluminum content of 1100 aluminum coil is 99%. Because of its small density and good plasticity, it is usually used for parts that need good formability, high corrosion resistance and do not require high strength, such as sheet metal products, hollow hardware, radiator, welding combination keys, reflectors, nameplates, etc.
The coils are suited to our production line so 1000 mm or 3 foot (914 mm) wide as standard. The thickness ranges from 0.4mm up to 1.2mm with typical weights from 1 to 2 tonnes. Other alloys and tempers are available.
In addition we also offer small coils also described as Aluminium insulation coils. These have thickness between 0.3 – 2mm and width between 1000mm – 1250mm, with two different finishes: stucco or mill finish. The large range of alloys offer exceptional formability, corrosion resistance, toughness and mechanical properties to resist mechanical or thermal abuse in service. These are used, for many applications including, for refrigeration and heat insulation installers for coating boilers, pipes, ducts and other parts of the installation. These are typically produced in sizes such as 125 kgs or 150 kgs but generally produced to clients requirements.
Due to our large demand for processing we have excellent supply routes for our coils this means that if we don’t have immediate availability or enough stock we can source in around 1-4 weeks. As well as plain or smooth finish Aluminium we also keep stucco embossed coils or can supply painted or laminated. All our coils can either be reduced in weight to suit the clients processing capabilities, cut into sheet or precision slit into narrow coils. We can even convert them into corrugated sheets.
Many of our coils are laminated to order with Surlyn moisture barrier for use as metal jacketing, Tedlar (PVF) outer coating, coil painted PVDF, PES,PUR or bonded with a mass loaded vinyl acoustic barrier for ease of application when sound reduction is required. In addition we can also offer other specialist laminates including PVF or PVC including anti-bacterial coatings or grain effect.
We also keep a range of other products to fix or aluminium coils including banding, wing seals, rivets and toggle latches, self drilling (TEK) screws.
If you have a requirement for Aluminium coil or cut to length non standard sheet sizes as blanks then speak to our sales team.
This announcement marks the launch of the first new product from CakeBoxx Technologies in 2019. It continues the company’s trend of disruptive utility innovations, which include the 45″ and 53″ BreakBulkBoxx™ Line™ containers introduced in recent years to enable packaging. In addition, CoilBoxx offers domestic and international shippers of steel and aluminum coils a new way to take advantage of the safety, low cost and efficiency of a container shipping route.
Designed and built to ISO specifications and CSC certified, CoilBoxx offers a time and money saving containerized alternative to traditional flatbed trailers, frame racking and bulk transport. It is also very effective in protecting coils from adverse environmental conditions and often unavoidable handling accidents. The versatile CoilBoxx is suitable for transporting and storing all kinds of goods in rolls or cylinders. Like all CakeBoxx containers, the CoilBoxx deck is fully accessible with 360° for quick and easy side and top loading. The CoilBoxx stand is adjustable to accommodate up to three rolls with outer diameters from 1700mm to 300mm and a maximum width of 2232mm. They can be easily fastened without the need for locking and fastening or any additional packaging with the built-in fastening system.
“CoilBoxx will open the eyes of coil shippers. As more and more high-value coils are being produced and shipped around the world, it makes sense to take advantage of expedited container service. They can easily load coils into our 20ft two piece container and block more a cheap, fast and secure intermodal option for rail and water transport from short truck lanes to anywhere in the world, increasing product protection and reducing damage claims.”
CakeBoxx Technologies plans to host a series of CoilBoxx demonstrations in the US and Europe through 2019. Companies interested in participating in the demo should contact CakeBoxx Technologies for more information.
