How Heavy Is 80,000 Pounds of Steel?
It’s no secret that industrial steel coils are heavy. But how heavy is 80,000 pounds? To put it into perspective, we created this fun infographic that compares the weight of a full steel coil to things you know and love—like your favourite Pumpkin Spice Latte.
From forklifts to minivans and even 40,000 cups of coffee, this visual breakdown is a unique way to understand just how much weight our material handling systems can support. At Almac, we specialize in moving these massive loads with precision-engineered solutions for coil handling, conveyor systems, and automation.
