Abstract:

A coil edge protecting coil lifter and insert. The insert mounts within a cavity through an aperture in the front wall of each lifter arm of the coil lifter. The edges of a coil contact with a protruding portion of an endless belt which extends through the aperture and outwardly beyond each front wall. A low-friction wear plate atop a backing plate is positioned behind the endless belt and causes the belt to protrude outwardly. The endless belt can be made to additionally protrude through an aperture in the rear wall of each lifter arm.
