Abstract
A method is disclosed for transferring a metal coil, e.g., for transferring a metal coil in a coil box, on a transfer path between a first coil position and a second coil position, wherein the metal coil is supported during the transfer on the transfer path in segments by means of support rollers, and wherein the metal coil is simultaneously unwound, wherein a cradle expanding in the direction of the transfer path is formed by changing the positions of support rollers disposed adjacent to each other, wherein the coil is supported by two support rollers disposed on a first frame part in the first coil position and is displaced in the direction of the second coil position from said first coil position in that said frame part is simultaneously tilted and lowered.
